Stringers Part 2

I have been adding more stringers to the hull. Time has come to do the keel stringers, as mentioned by Bernd, cross cuts need to be made on one side of the stringers to assist the extra bend toward the stern.


Here you can see the cross cuts made in the keel stringers. I used a skill saw and adjusted the depth of cut on the saw, then clamped the stringers together, marked equal spacing then it was a fairly quick job to do identical cuts to both of them.

Here you can see the resulting mounted stringers. Glued in place with a little help from gravity.

I am starting to get used to having this big thing in my garage. Looking even more like a boat now.
