I have very few photos of myself, so yesterday I had an opportunity to have some taken. I'm almost always the guy on the other side of the camera.
I used up the planking that I had on hand and needed to prepare some more. Once you set up to cut some, you may as well cut a lot. So I did.
I had company! Usually I work all alone, it's nice to have company. Here we are discussing the mysteries of woodworking that has no straight edges or square lines.
After 5 rows of planking, it's time to start wrapping around the bilge. Three pieces of planking need to be tapered from full width to 1/3 width. Of course, the taper is not a straight line.
