Tips From A Shipwright

Ripping The Guards (3x31)

Air date: Feb 08, 2022

We’ve decided to adjust our sheer a little bit, we’re going to bring it down a little bit at the bow but mostly our goal is to reduce the angle on the heads of the frames and the sheer plank by a few degrees. I’m using my progressive beveling circular saw that I’ve modified with a ratchet handle to change the angle of the saw as I cut. This let’s me give the rails a nice progressive line from the transom all the way forward. We’re then going to rip out our 24’ white oak guards and get them ready for assembly.
