Sheets Two and Three Glued.

One and a bit sheets of ply to go then some more fairing.
Still need to find a skillsaw that will scarf 9mm ply. The depth of cut needs to be 72mm. A 210mm saw might get away with it.

  1. Awesome skills! So impressed to see you applying amazing ingenuity and classic boatbuilding expertise in a dumbed down age of 3D printing!

    1. Very technical. They do use travelling cranes in modern ship building. In 1876 Sampson Moore in England designed and supplied the first ever electric overhead crane, which was used to hoist guns at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, London. Well, mine is manual.
