	Finish by beveling bottom plank edges to the slope of the garboards. Garboards are then screwed to the station molds.					A sort of spiling batten used to approximate the curve of the top edge of the skeg.
	Skeg is constructed by laminating two 7/8" X 7 1/2" pieces of ash.					On the bench the skek is tappered from 1 1/2" on the top to 1" on the bottom. Plane and belt sander.
	Attach the skeg using epoxy and 2" screws from the top side of the bottom plank.					Two planks, first planks, are faired using a rabbet and block plane.
	Gains are cut into garboards and planks fore and aft.					First plank is glued and clamped in place.
	Extra clamps are used near the gains to ensure they lay flat.					Spiling batten used to get out the third plank.
	After epoxy sets up, transom and stem ends of the planks are faired and excess epoxy removed using block plane. 7/8" silicon bronze screw are used.					Starting to look like a hull!
