Scarfing the Bottom Planks

First time I have ever tried this. It worked out quite well.

Ready to Start

The next time I step into the shed I will actually start building the New Spindrift. Design # 71 from Gary Underwood.
The planks on the ladder are the pine tongue and groove planks for the bottom. While I have room I will splice them. to get about 11m.
