This part of build was quite difficult (to do right) but finally got all rolling bevels correct and nice tight (no gaps) between individual strips. Much rolling and twisting on these guys. Nick Schade’s Robo-Bevel tool worked pretty well. I did have to modify the ramp for mini-sholder planes as they kept banging into stations and threw things out of alignment.
Curved Topside presented lots of tinkering on how to get loads aligned so clamps don’t pull off
Walt Simmons Trick
Love this plane for cleaning things up (Lie-Neilson No 62 Rabbet/Nicker Block Plane)
Another Day
Blocking Location Marked Before Burried under strips – drilled small hole after next strip installed
Curvature Needed Innovative Solution
Necessary Tools; Robo-Bevel and Rabbet/Nicker Block Plane
Last Two Clamped
Top Deck Stripping Done – good to get that completed – maybe 50+ man-hours
