Finally started half-hull models to help decide next full size boat project. Will use Beach Pea as first test since I’ve never used this method. Very interesting approach – called the “Lift Method”. Signed up for WBS class this summer but thought I could figure out on my own.
Lofting Copies Made
Drawing Data Glued To Pattern Material
Patterns Cut and Shaped
Stacking Patterns With Spacers To Get A Feel For Sizes
Lifts Stacked In Jig (Basswood To Carve Easy)
Lifts In Position – Glue Up next
Will Keep Patterns – Maybe Make BeachPea Model From Cherry
Carving Down To The Lifts
All Done – Shellac On Fir, Kirby White On Hull (Same As My Boat)
New Home In Man-Cave
Nice side view
Fat Boat and Beach Pea’s new home
The Completed Fleet (For Now)
