Internal Fit Out continued
My next step was to build the aft bulkhead and install the aft deck beams. The plans call for 3/8" ply (I'm using Robins Elite Sapele) which can be fitted either as one component or two halves. I elected to fit as a single component and so had to first scribe a vertical line on the inside of the hull where the bulkhead was to be positioned. I spent considerable time with a laser beam with limited success so I ended up using straight edges clamped to a spirit level amidships, having first checked and rechecked that the hull was sitting level fore & aft and bow to stern. Using a joggle stick which I clamped vertical on the hull, I drew point on the spiling board at each plank land which I then transferred onto the plywood to cut out the bulkhead shape. This proved quite successful although I needed two different joggle sticks to account for the longer lengths. Having cut out a template and satisfied myself to the final measurements, I transferred the measurements onto the ...
