Picklefork Notes

Building the Picklefork Pictorial

Outboard boat plans Fig. 9: The same area after fairing at the RUNNER SHEER #8. The simulated planking will now lie flat or mate to all areas.
Outboard boat plans Fig. 10: One way to determine the amount of material to be removed is to file a notch to the required bevel on the longitudinal at the frames. In the forward area a wood rasp can be used to fair the RUNNER SHEER #8 and CHINE #10 simulaneously.
Outboard boat plans Fig. 11: In the aft section, excess material is removed with a hand plane. All fairing should be done carefully to prevent humps or dips.
Outboard boat plans Fig. 12: Constantly checking with a length of plywood to simulate the planking will help prevent errors. The planking must mate to all areas solidly without gaps.
