Playing with Planks

My next task is to complete the keel by adding “false” keel pieces for and aft of the lead keel. To do that I need to process my remaining supply of planks.

My planer, thicknesser and even my table saw are really too small to deal with this size of plank, so first job is to saw the planks into more manageable sizes.

And then use the table saw to get to the widths I will need.

Leaving me with a pile of planks ready for planing to final size.

Next – on to the keel!
