After attaching the sections to the strongback, I mangaged it to put the first three strips in place! Yeah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I managed to get the port side of the boat closed and one third of the starboard side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I am able to keep this pace, the hull is finished stripping next Sunday. In between I need to find new strip material.
The Material I am currently using are leftover strips form my wife’s kayak. These strips are Western Red Cedar strips and I love to work with this wood… . Sommerfeldt & Thiele<\/a> was the supplier. Unfortunately, they skipped making the dimensions I need (5mm x 18mm). So I am out on the quest to find new wood and a new supplier<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took me a while to find a new source of wood and for them to find Canadian Red Cedar Planks to cut the strips. My new vendor is Aecherli Holz – close to where I live. http:\/\/www.aecherliholz.ch\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday Morning I was able to pick up the wood from the mill and I am absolutely happy how it turned out.

approx. 100 Strips of Canadian Red Cedar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely beautiful wood! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Because the new wood does not have a bed&cove milled edge I have to plan the edges prior gluing them in place. To make this job easier I bought a small edge planer (Miniatur Kantenhobel) from Veritas. You find this fine piece of equipment here (scroll down) https:\/\/www.feinewerkzeuge.de\/miniaturhobel.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sorted the wood into batches of different colors and packed them into packs of 10 strips. It should be enough for two boats…

Today, I stumbled across this great (Swedish written) website with lots of pictures, that can be found here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the last 2 Weeks I was busy with my job and my studies but made it to close the hull and and plane\/rough it out a first time. Looks beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I am close to finish stripping the hull and I am about to flip over the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gluing on the bow strip – need material to round out the bow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Did I mention – you can NOT have too much clamps of different size…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last thing to do is shaping out the bow and stern contour – than I am done with stripping<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continued with stripping the deck, than sanding and putting fiberglass on the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Axel
