Starting to do the Main Deck from the Midship area back to the Poop Deck on the Stern.
As I got to the edge, these Planks that needed custom cutting to fit became more difficult.
What I normally do is to hold the Plank against the edge and make a Mark at that point. Then, I taper the Plank from that Mark all the way to the end.
Good thing I remembered it before the glue dried!
I just completed all the Planking for the Main Weather Deck.
I decided to create 3 different Posts for the Main Deck Planking.
What I did for the Planking is to divide the Ship into 3 different sections… Forecastle, Midship and the Poop Deck.
It sure makes it easier when you’re trying to line up the Planks having 3 different sections.
Anyway… Here’s the Midship Planking so far…
Notice that I have one long Strip of wood on the Port side of that set of Planks next to the Hatch? I cut it with my Mini Table Saw.
I find that these Planks in the middle… You can’t really mass produce them as others. Well… You can, but I find that often you have to do a custom fit job so those mass produced planks need to be cut one way or the other.
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that I Measure, Cut & Scribe each plank individually.
