In Response To: Strip: bevel line or internal stem? (Jennifer Ellis)

Thanks everyone! Allan and Will, the videos are awesome! I've been visiting the Guillemot website for years and had no idea all of that was on there. Much more understandable. So as I already have the stem pieces provided, I'd better get to beveling. Now I just have to figure out how to use my block plane :) No worries; a ton of videos on youtube for that one. Back to the hardware store for some sharpening stones.
Thanks again!

: Hello, I have another quandry, of course. I have these little stem
: pieces that follow the outline of the bow and stern forms. The
: directions say "bevel line -or- for internal stem cut
: line". So... Do I trace the outline of these pieces onto
: the bow and stern forms and bevel to the edge (which is what I
: think I'm supposed to do) or do they attach to the outer edge of
: the end forms (this is shown in the book, I think, but so is the
: beveling)?

: Thanks,
: Jen
