Bulkheads for La Jacinthe (con't) - by Evan McMurtry

Hello internet! Like this nice photo of my work? It actually shows a major flaw. Oh oh.
How so? 
This photo shows a barely visible difference between the fore and aft (bow and stern) outlines of bulkhead #7- yes, these plans are THAT detailed. Not a problem here. However, on bulkheads 8 and 9 the difference amounts to crucial millimeters. And I haphazardly chose the wrong line to trace, meaning that there will be no wood to taper, and there is quite a lot of taper close to the stern. Rule of thumb: Its a whole lot easier to remove wood than it is to add it. So be careful. Measure twice, cut once!

Now for some pictures of my work on the last remaining bulkheads. 

How to use a t-square and set square to make straight lines.
Work in progress. Note the ponce wheel used to transfer the tracing to the wood, as well as the eraser marks.
See ya later Internet!
