Building the Harvey

I have a question dumb it might be to some of yall but on Chucks video how do you figure what the measurements are going to be to mark your hull planks. Is there a video that shows you how to do everything starting from A to Z. With Z being a finished hull?
 
Thanks every one. I appreciate your input. Having a break in the Kimberlies (West Aust) on a real boat.

Yes. If you watch them all you will get a great result. If you do it correctly the planks will lay so fast and tight you barely need glue. And this is on a single layer system, too. It's a piece of cake if you spend the time correctly measuring, tapering and chamfering then bending. It creates a compound curve plank. As you can see, it works really well.
