Sir. Thanks. Is your dovetail method of joining plywood sheets suitable to the gentle curves of boatbuilding, such as side panels, and 1/2”? (I asked this in JD circ., too)
Its a scarf joint which technically this is. I am more familiar with angled scarf joints but angles and shapes that fit together are technically scarfs. Kerfing is to bend piece of wood. It entails a series of cuts where your blade doesn’t quite cut through the thickness. You set your saw blade the thickness of the ply minus 3/16 (roughly) and make however many cuts needed. There are calculators to help with how many cuts and spacing between each cut.
Part 2 Here!

So excited to see the boat growing. 😊❤
Yes!

This is my first time doing this, and so far it is working. I am not sure if this is the best way to do this or not.
Can you not turn the jig around? Is that wrong?
No, each angle was the other way
inspiring me
I subscribed to watch the progress! I'm assuming that this part of the build is 1/4" plywood?
Thank you! Yes, it is 1/4" plywood.
@@hesswoodwork looks great so far. Can’t wait to see more!
👏👏
Thank you!
I beleive most boat builders join their plywood by kerfing it
I am learning!

What should I name my boat?
You could name it:
Hess Pride
Not Hessin’ Around
