Beveling Hull and Deck Seams
Wednesday, November 9, 2011
Today's activity is beveling the top inside edge of the hull and the bottom inside edge of the deck so that they will fit without a gap when the deck and hull are joined. The task is to bevel a 45 degree angle on both parts along the full length of each part. After some experimenting with various hand tools, I found that a small vibrating sander with a fine grit paper did the job quickly and well.
