Arctic Tern Build

May 5, 2017

Today I worked at Fairing the Keelson into the stems and beveling the keelson to align with the building forms.  I used my power hand planer and slowly beveled both the port and starboard sides of the keelson.  As I neared each stem, I began rolling the power planer so that the bevel ran into the beveled edge of the stems.  Once I got the bevels close to the forms, I switched to using a hand plane and then I finished everything using some 60 grit sandpaper on a sanding block.  It is not perfect but I am fairly happy with the end result. 

 
 
 

Next step will be to make a pattern for the garboard planks.
