SPILING: How to make a PATTERN for a BOAT PLANK

In this video, I describe a simple method of making a pattern for a lapstrake or clinker boat plank.

The boat I am building is the wonderful Fiddlehead double paddle canoe, designed by Harry Bryan.

The video is an excerpt from the online boatbuilding course "Building the Fiddlehead Canoe" I am currently teaching at Small Boat School.

The course is open for registration at www.smallboatschool.com
