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.
