Fitting planks - Glued Lapstrake Planking - Pt.4 - Building Gannet - Episode 13

Описание: Fitting lapstrake (clinker) planks can be one of the trickiest parts of traditional boatbuilding—but when done right, it results in a beautiful, strong hull. In this episode of Building Gannet, I walk you through essential tips and techniques to get your lapstrake planks to lay down in their natural position using glued epoxy construction.

From clamping strategies using buttons, cam clamps, and clinker pins, to diagnosing fit issues like flaring and gaps, you'll learn how to adjust your gains, bevels, and patterns for a tight, fair fit. I also share how to handle back beveling at the bow, deal with flare, and use thickened epoxy for a forgiving but strong bond.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced wooden boatbuilder, this series provides in-depth guidance with practical shop tips for fitting and hanging planks with confidence.
