3-D


Getting a boat from these simple designs into 3-D is pretty straightforward. Make the pieces, then start putting them together.

Below, the butt blocks joining the panel pieces:
 

I've been lax in the photo department. Suddenly, the boat is three-dimensional:
The middle crosswise piece above is the forward bulkhead, the only one of the three above that will be permanent.

The temporary form on the left will come out eventually. The space on the right between the aft bulkhead and the transom will be an enclosed locker or lazarette.

Lots of mistakes have been made already, but so far nothing has had to be done over.

Next, the gunnels.
