Starting from the Bow and working backwards…
I’m using some Titebond Translucent Wood Glue for this work.

Hull Planking
I am around 3/4 of the way done with the Hull Planking…
I had to soak and pre-bend this Plank going to the Stern.

Stern Planks
I had to taper the Stern Planks down to 3.8mm for them to fit .. 🙄🤔
I always feel like a Filipino Shipwright in Cavite, P.I. while building this Ship… 🙄🤔👍

View from Prow
The reason I went so sharp is that the Hull is taking a bend here and it relieves the Strain on the next Plank.
I’m trying to straighten the angle along the lower planks. I had to come to a point on this Plank. I used Contact Cement, then Superglue and let it harden. Then the rest of the way was white glue.

Planking from Keel up
I’m slowly working my way up. ..
On the Stern, I calculated that I need to taper the 5mm Planks down to 3.88mm in order for all of them to fit.

Garboard Strake
I had to make the Garboard Strake in 2 Sections.
See how I had to make that bend at the forward part.

Keel and Prow
I was at the point where I couldn’t go any further without laying the Keel and Prow.
I used the White Glue for this.

Notching the False Keel
I realized that the Keel had a bend in it. So I notched the False Keel so that the Garboard Planks lay inside the he Keel.
I’m hoping the difference is negligible. .. 🤔🙄👍

Installing Keel
It’s been a few days while I contemplated how I was going to do the Keel.
