Inverted Hull: How Many Forms?

In Response To: Re: Working on Inverted Hull (Daren)

: that is how i built both the hull and the deck of my guillemot s&g.
: i used an internal strongback and the station forms that Nick provides

How many internal forms did you use?

On my Bluefin I have the two bulkheads and two temporary forms.

This inverted construction sounds better, although requiring more setup work.

Tack welding from the inside would allow bigger welds because they would be covered later by the fillet. Outside tack welding would require small welds to avoid messing up the hull.

Was that a difficulty?

Here I am building my work space while checking the BB every two hours.

Coffee plus check ..
