Half ship model

there is not really much to say.
i went in to uni during he holiday.
i started by screwing a temporary backing board onto the back of my model. and then i screwd a piece of wood over that that i used to clam in the vice.

i work on it for about an hr at (uni using my plane).
then i took it home and worked on it some more.
i have it now so that the groves are about 2 millimeters (up too 3 maybe 4 mil) in some places. i really need a spokeshave to finish the work and then after that sand it down nice and smooth

i also need the plans so that i can get the deck and the transom done.

2nd last week

last wednesday we didnt do much. we just planed down our wood layers and drilled holes for the dowels in preperation for glueing them together.

thursday and friday we spent fairing the beam fairings sand bogging them. and we bogged a few other parts of the boat.

not a very exiting week.
