Well ..Its obvious that even after i redid the formers i had some minor issues..shims here and there to set the planks on..she's a rough looking unit ,LOl,,more a kin to the real one out the road that's been rotted out,stripped and discarded..
..I cut myself a little more slack in this build ..more so than i did the first one that got flung across the basement..then cycled through the wood stove ..
..no stress eh!..Big thing for me right now is just to get a feel ,rhythm,confidence by completing a working unit ..the next one well be better..i hope ..
Given its only 1.5mm Basswood I'll clean up any corners or high spots a little to start
I intend to first use fiberglass resin inside and out ..this well add strength..then its bondo and glazing putty to fare the hull..this is where the pins come in ,I didn't recess the heads..so they will offer indicator so i don't get into the wood..
I had also considered using FG chop on the interior ..for additional strength
Your thoughts..dont leave me hangin
