Floorboards

Hi all. Couple of questions about the floorboards …

Where the boards butt against the sides of the hull, do builders chamfer the edge underneath the board to sit snugly against the sides or do we have a vertical edge? I hope that makes sense.

Also, any top tips on how to make a fair curve in the boards along the sides?

Cheers,

Steve

I don’t thing I used a chamfer bit and that sounds like a good idea! I think I used a plane and rasp to make the angle on the outermost pieces so the fit snug against the sides.

For the curve, I used a piece of long wood trim to make the curve and held in place with weights and clamps. See December 2016 on my blog. I really need to finish this build! Lol.

Thanks
