Hi everybody.
The process of laying out the shape is called scribing I learnt it in my past life of employment my method is different from most boat builders their process is laying out every rib individually and assembling to a plan.
The hull is now 80 per cent finished clad in 0.5 mm pieces of wood of various widths a fiddly job but surprisingly enjoyable.
And lastly, a picture of my tool chest to do this planking embarrassing simple I use super glue as it is fast and a no 3 blade very sharp and solid just the thing for cutting the sheets of wood .
cheers.

An interesting and attractive design. And thanks for explaining that the key is to cut strips from sheets of wood. Sounds like it would be frustrating and fussy until you get used to doing it. -- Russ
