Silver Birch FR39 planking commences

Once again I have used the plank bender tool to assist with the planking at the stem but more particularly, the stern where the curvature is compounded by inducing bends AND twists. I use the bender tool transversely for ordinary curves then diagonally for twisting  without overly stressing the wood. I am using 8mm x 1.8mm obechi planks.  I would prefer 7mm but it's very difficult obtaining them at this present time so I am using 8mm where I can, saving my few 7mm planks for areas where the bending is more acute.

    Hi Dave. Good to hear from you again. Enjoyin your early summer? Trying a build without making up a jig for assembly. Tricky but no too bad. Take care and keep in touch.
    Best wishes
    Will
