Fustrating times

These are the gains carved into the garboard plank. The theory being that the next plank will go from an overlap to flush at the stem.

Here I am using the wooden clamps for the first time. I am still using screw blocks judiciously. I don't know how else you would get the planks to lay down at the stems.

Notice the bolt hardware, holding this plank together. The glue was not set enough and the scarf was at the most seriously stressed point.
Anyways things have been getting fustrating as I make multiple mistakes. The mistakes are so rediculous I can not share them with the thousands/millions of people reading this blog.
Maybe time to take a break.
