This will be my build log of 17" Canoe. I choose a bit shorter version for no obvious reasons. Sometimes I am wondering about the decisions I've made.
I have requested my timber kit (in Pear), and while waiting for order\delivery, started the actual build by cutting out formers (bulkheads). I have a leftover stash of Midwest's 3mm plywood. The paper templates glued using contact cement. Using the coping saw, formers were released from plywood stock. One (1) millimeter left outside the line of the former for the final shape. The final shape made using a disk sander and sanding stick.
Bulkhead\formers paper pattern was glued on the 3mm plywood
I use UHU brand contact cement to glue paper templates
Formers cut out using the coping saw, to make sure formers correctly align against centerline I cut the notch for the centerline strip made out of defective black hornbeam.
...the half of the formers glued to the baseboard using PVA and drop of CA
will make another half this evening. Thank you for the interest!
