It's coming along nicely.
Thanks for all the photos CJ - I always enjoy seeing photos of other people's boat building, especially the initial hull building stage that you have just shown us. All those clamps ! And they are a devil to get to stay where you want them, aren't they ? Good luck with the rest of the build ๐ ▲

Your model is coming up very nicely. I red all of your building progress but I missed you mentioning what type of glue are you using.๐ ▲

OK good to see it is coming right along now.
I was looking at the clamps and thinking I have a basket full of all different types and sizes of clamps. Sometimes I still can't find one that fits the bill just right! I am glad to see the link was helpful. Keep up the good work and post so we can follow the progress. Barry ▲

I find plank-on-frame (or sheet-on-frame, for that matter) more than a bit intimidating. I had bought a small boat kit off Amazon, messed the planking up horribly. This failure tells me I lack the experience & manual dexterity for a built up hull.
I have on hand a DUMAS PT109 which i am reluctant to even start. Might offer it for sale within my club (Metro Marine Modellers of Toronto/southern Ontario fame) From now on I am only buying kits with molded hulls, preferably one-piece rather than two halves like the DUMAS military tug. I do have a BILLINGS African Queen kit on hand (ABS hull, one-piece) and I hav the DUMAS great lakes freighter, no longer available, which is styrene sheet over frame. A member has very kindly 3D-printed me a Clyde Puffer out of ABS filament. It's in 3 pieces as it's a bit under 30" LOA. Lots of room to get both of my hands inside the hull thru a huge deck hatch!! Currently assembling a twin-engine ZIPPKITS Springer tug. ▲

As others have said, wetting or steaming ply is not advisable because it may delaminate. I would try heating the ply, not violently such as with a blow torch, but more gently such as putting it in the oven. If possible trial it at 120 degrees, then progressively warmer and test the results. Good luck !๐

Steaming works with solid wood, not with plywood it can cause delamination of the plys

Be carefull bending any wood. It can split if not careful. I would suggest steaming and apply carefully.

Hi cj
I don't think wetting plywood is a good idea. I would just bend it to the framing. Just make sure you do both sides at the same sitting, I also have found the Dumas instructions to need interpretation. Best of Luck๐๐ Trev ▲
