My build log for my 2nd build, the Model Shipways Norwegian Sailing Pram. Started right after the Dory.
Going along really well I think. Unlike the Dory, I think this one is straighter. Had some clamping challenges - probably bought way too many different clamps!
Realize I put the upper stern transom on backwards with the laser line facing the bow - also realized didn't really matter as I could use the line as a sanding guide regardless of which side.
Things lined up better on this one.
I did realize some of the laser lines for the plank bevels were cut too deep on one side - basically started to separate from the plank. I used thinned yellow glue to hold together.
