Hi all , back again with some novice questions, My plan is to build a 27 ft whaler, Ihave the following , plans , wood tools space and time , what I don't have is the knowledge, Ihave facilities for cutting and thickness ing timber etc , the plan Ihave doesn't show any ribs on the clinker hull , the enlarged pics from my old naval ratings handbook shows 45 ribs and gunwales etc, plus The risings for the thwarts, now before I start sawing up wood do I need to make a mould upside down reduced in size by twice the thickness of the ribs , and I assume this mould would need a spine to support the keel again reduced in size to allow keel etc to be right height,
Or am I over thinking the whole thing, all help appreciated, as said Ican cut ad shape wood ok but knowing where to start would be a great help ,
Thanks fellas
Chris
