Tiny power boat

Well for one thing, that chine log with the big knot in it will probably have to go, you need (mostly) clear lumber for that piece, I would remove it and go with a full length piece; use a "Spanish Windlass" (Rope with a winding stick) to fair it to the stem and then transfer the bevel to it and cut, glue, fasten and clamp it.

 

Ok, I see what you want me to do. I would much rather use those pieces, I Dadoed the end of the chine so I could tie onto them. Is there any way to do this. Possibly laminate thin pieces of wood together?

I used brass plated screws on the bottom and galvinized steel ones on the side, I ran out of brass plated ones, and they were too short.

I havent work on it in about a week, I just need to get that other side on. then the transom. Then fibreglass.

 

here are some pictures of a similar project ...no frame ,,no screws ..just ply cable ties and fibre glass
