Sir. Thanks. Is your dovetail method of joining plywood sheets suitable to the gentle curves of boatbuilding, such as side panels, and 1/2”? (I asked this in JD circ., too)
Its a scarf joint which technically this is. I am more familiar with angled scarf joints but angles and shapes that fit together are technically scarfs. Kerfing is to bend piece of wood. It entails a series of cuts where your blade doesn’t quite cut through the thickness. You set your saw blade the thickness of the ply minus 3/16 (roughly) and make however many cuts needed. There are calculators to help with how many cuts and spacing between each cut.
Part 2 Here!

So excited to see the boat growing. 😊❤
Yes!
What should I name my boat?
You could name it:
Hess Pride
Not Hessin’ Around
inspiring me

Thank you!

This is my first time doing this, and so far it is working. I am not sure if this is the best way to do this or not.
I subscribed to watch the progress! I'm assuming that this part of the build is 1/4" plywood?
Thank you! Yes, it is 1/4" plywood.
@@hesswoodwork looks great so far. Can’t wait to see more!
Can you not turn the jig around? Is that wrong?
No, each angle was the other way
I beleive most boat builders join their plywood by kerfing it
I am learning!
