Scarfing the sheers

Not a lot done today. Scarf jointed the next layers of the sheers.

A couple of days ago I started to "repair" an earlier mistake. Frame 2 is about 4 or 5 mm off centre. So on one side I have added a packer to build the frame out to meet the edge of the chine. That seems to have worked very well and with some fairing etc I doubt you will be able to tell when it's finished.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, somehow I have ended up with my transom not level, so one side sits about 5mm higher than the other. Its easily seen now so I don't know how I missed it at the time. Anyway one of the side effects is the chine had to be notched in fairly deeply and now there is about 8mm from the chine face to the edge of the frame. I glued on a packer to try and counter this but looking down the lines of the boat this is not going to work. So I'll need to hack that off and come up with a plan B

Update:

Re-sawed the first 4 battens. Still can't get over how much saw dust these operation create. So now I have about 60 feet of batten material, but need about 270. Checked my stocks, I am going to have to get another couple of planks.

Also mostly prepared the last length I needed for the sheers. Just need to run in through the planner to clean it up.
