Ok, after reading Oughtred's clinker boat building book, I was keyed up to complete my scarphs. So far, each scarph had been cut and glued with thickened gloop and taped.
Today, the rough sides were tidied up with a plane and belt sander. Oughtred gets all fussy with hand planes and does an immaculate job. I go for strength and watertight. It you're an immaculate guy, go with Oughtred.
So when the join was sanded within a millimetre or so, I saturated it with epoxy, laid tape over, and dabbed it with a brush. Its worked enough when the fibres are no longer white, they go opaque.
RECESSING BULKHEADS
The next stage is assembly. Before this, each bulkhead needs to be recessed for the sheer and chine timbers. Layden knows shit, of he recommends something, so it. But they're not actually fully cut until after assembly. Take note.
Before going further a dolly trolly with be made, with timbers spaced to support bulkheads 2 and 4.
