One of the best explanations and demonstrations of planking I have seen. Very handy for someone like myself who is new to building wooden ships. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!. Whilst this is my way on this particular kit, everyone differs slightly and each time is a learning process. Remember this is a Triple Layer ( 2 wood + 1 copper, so in this instance it was more about getting the shape correct, not visability. IF it were single hulled, then more care would br tkane to shape every plank for a uniform finish.
No it not. I have not seen any kit with tools provided. Thi is my 10th kit and the first one I used a plank bender on. Prior to that I used an old electric curling wand.

I will watch #3 over again and this one to make sure I get the planking down. Thanks
is the bending template part of the kit?
