: I'm a newbie building a Cape Ann and dovetailed up the complete bow

: I guess I'm hoping there's pics with a similar treatment.
: I've been reading this forum for years and appreciate all your

: Thanks, Jim Schaffer

Strip one side allowing the strips to run wild past the keel line and over the opposite (not yet stripped) side. The first strip will require fitting at its point. Strip until you are close to but not covering the next station form. After the glue dries use a flexible straight edge to draw a line from your finished and previously trimmed keel line (before your first wild strip) to the keel line on the still visible station. Use your pull saw to vertically cut on this line. Now strip the second side matching the trimmed strips at the keel line. Repeat station to station or until you have to make the trimmed-to-fit final pair.
