Bulkheads Part 3

I have cut out all ten of the plywood bulkhead shapes. The next step is to strengthen these with framing timber. I am using the same douglas fir as for the stringers.

I have used a router to put a radiused edge on the inner corner of the framing. It gives a nice look and should also help the epoxy to protect the wood better as a sharp edge is likely to chip.

These clamps are really handy, I have a mixture of spring and ratchet type, but though I thought I had plenty, it seems you can't have too many as I need about 20 clamps for the more complicated bulkheads to do the framing in one glue session.
