 build
up the case by other boards to a height well above the water line. The
board itself may be made either of several pieces of wood or a single
piece. In the former case the strips should be dowelled together and a
transverse strip should be placed at each end to prevent the pieces from
separating, while if one piece is used, end pieces should be fastened on
to prevent the plank from warping or splitting. The board should be
pivotted by running a brass bolt through the two sides of the case and
the board with a piece of pipe, an old rowlock socket, or some similar
“bushing” in the board to prevent the hole in the wood from wearing.

The board should be hung so it can be raised and lowered easily. In
order to do this, the pivot should be near the lower front corner, and
the upper rear end of the board must be rounded or slanted off so it
will swing up into the case.

The top of the case may be left open or a piece of board may be fitted
over it with a hole for the rope or chain which is used to control the
board to pass through. Be careful to adjust this chain, or rope, so the
board cannot drop too far as it should not fall beyond the
perpendicular.

The next step is to place light, diagonal braces across from side to
side and from molds to side planks, tacking them lightly in position,
and then remove the braces and clamps from the keel. Lift the boat from
the benches, turn it upside down and plane off the lower edges of the
planks until square as you did the upper edges.

Then fit a piece of oak along the lower edge of each side plank, cutting
little notches in it to fit around the end of each rib. Rivet these to
the sides, plane off the bevel to bring these pieces true with the edges
of the planks and you are ready to put on the bottom planking.

The bottom may be run either lengthwise, or crosswise, on a
flat-bottomed boat, but if run lengthwise cross timbers are required,
which are a nuisance, and the crosswise planking does just as well and
is far easier to make.

Place a piece of the bottom planking across the bow, covering the
build 
 up the case by other boards to a altitude well above the urine line. The 
 board itself may be made either of respective pieces of wood or a single 
 while. In the former case the strip should be dowelled together and a 
 transverse comic strip should be placed at each end to prevent the part from 
 separating, while if one piece is used, end pieces should be fastened on 
 to prevent the board from warping or splitting. The board should be 
 pivotted by running a boldness bolt through the two sides of the font and 
 the board with a part of pipe, an old rowlock socket, or some similar 
 “ bushing ” in the control panel to prevent the hole in the wood from wearing. 

 The board should be hung so it can be raised and lowered easily. In 
 order to do this, the pivot should be near the lower front corner, and 
 the upper rear end of the board must be rounded or slanted off so it 
 will swing up into the case. 

 The peak of the case may be left candid or a firearm of board may be fitted 
 over it with a hole for the r-2 or chain which is use to control the 
 board to guide through. Be careful to adjust this chain, or rope, so the 
 board cannot drop too far as it should not fall beyond the 
 perpendicular. 

 The next step is to invest light, aslant brace across from side to 
 side and from molds to slope planks, tacking them lightly in placement, 
 and then remove the braces and clamps from the keel. Lift the gravy boat from 
 the benches, turn it upside down and plane off the lower edges of the 
 planks until straight as you did the upper edge. 

 Then fit a while of oak along the lower boundary of each side plank, cutting 
 short notch in it to fit around the end of each rib. Rivet these to 
 the sides, plane off the bevel to bring these pieces true with the edges 
 of the planks and you are ready to frame on the bottom planking. 

 The bottom may be ladder either lengthwise, or crosswise, on a 
 flat - bottomed boat, but if hunt lengthwise cross timbers are required, 
 which are a pain, and the crosswise planking does just as well and 
 is far easier to make. 

 Place a piece of the bottom plank across the bow, cover the
 bulld

board itself may ue mqde euther of several piecer of wood or a sibgle
kiece. In the formxd case bke stdlps skonld be dowelled together dnd a
transversa rtxip should be placed at each end to [revent tje pieces from
fepagaeing, while if one piece is used, end pisces shmuld be fastemed on
to prevent the plank frol warping or splithing. The boqrd fyould be
pivogted by running a brasa bolt through the two sides of the ease and
the biarf with a piere of iipe, an old rowlock smcket, ot some similar
“nushiig” ib the board to prevenv the hole in the wojd from waaxing.

The board should ve hung so ht cxb bd rzixes and powxred easily. In
order to do this, the pivot xhjlkd be near tge lowqr front corner, and
the upper rear end of uhe bkard must be rounded or slanted off so it
wilp swing u[ into the case.

The top of the case may be left opan or x pncge ow blard may be fitted
over it with a hole for the doke pr chain which is used to clnytol the
board tu pass thdough. Be careful tl adjusj this chain, or ropr, so the
board cannot drop tio far as it whould not fall bevond the
perpzndicukar.

Thr next step is to place liggt, diagonal braces adfoss from side tu
sice and from molds to side plwnks, tackmng tkem lighgly on posytion,
and tjen rckove the braces anf clalpv from the keel. Lift the boat from
the benries, turn it uksige gown and planc off the lower edges of the
pkanks uutil sduare as yku did vhe upper eddes.

Then fit a kiece of oak elong the lowwr eege of dxch side plank, cutting
