Update on my boat project in Brazil. The stem needs to be faired/beveled, I only use manual tools and take my time as not to avoid fuckups. The japanese saw, chisel and manual plane is perfect for this (just need to keep them sharpened). The pine planking needs to be scarphed together to make them long enough, I made a simple clamp for this purpose. I use epoxy resin as glue. The boards will be planed later to appropriate thickness.
This is a lot of work, but I'm getting there.
I will continue to post pictures along the way.
