Sheer Clamps


Next step is to get ready to attach the deck to the hull. To do this the Sheer clamps must be planed to the proper angle. Luke did this step with a low angled block plane. This resulted in lots of wood curls everywhere. The angle changes at differnt points along the boat. The two different radaii are constant in front of the cockpit and behind it. CLC includes two guides in the kit to help with this. But transitioning from the one radius to the other at the cockpit must be done by eye.
