The rails are all now glued up and have been planned flat to the top of the ribs, the rails are planned in such a way as they follow the contour of the ribs, continuing the dome of the deck if that is thier shape, as in this build. The stance supports are being finished and some packing will be added to the rear of the board to glue the tail block on to, these will be in Balsa. Started work on the deck today, Paulonia strips have been laid out and sash cramps used to squeeze them up, gaffer tape works well at holding them in place after the cramps are off. They can be 'hinged apart' to add the glue or resin and then when flattened out the excess can be removed, allow the deck to dry, sand it up and then get it on the board...cool.
