Leading up to mounting the ama stringers on the hull panels, there were several tasks.
Scarfing the fir stringers. Two scarfs per side. 25 feet each.
Rounding over the bottom edge to fit the CNCed bulkheads.
The stringer is 38mm vertically. This was just enough heft to require some serious clamping to pull the curve to match the rocker of the shear. I had to make up 25 of these reusable blocks to support horizontal clamping.
Stringers glued up with the horizontal clamps removed. There was enough bend that the panel had to be set back away from the edge of the table. This meant using screws to clamp vertically as most of my clamps don't have a deep enough throat to reach. The holes will be filled with a syringe later.
Task time: 28 hours
Total project time: 625 hours
