Small craft building Day 4 temporary gunwale

Before making the gunwale we have to get a temporary one for it because we need to figure out the size of plywood for topside and we could also see the shape and adjust both side of the boat.  
For the temporary gunwale we could use pine for it as it is just temporary.

Gunwale size : L(4100mm+),W(15mm+),H(25mm+)
Cutting list
L:5100MM
W: 280mm
H:  85mm

Use table saw to cut it into the size we need and put it through the Thicknesser.
well we get it!
We need to know how much plywood we need for both side so we have to figure out the location of temporary gunwales
Firstly, screwing the temporary gunwale on the the custom-wood with some blocks.
Secondly,using a pattern to estimate the size of plywood for both side.
Thirdly,transferring the dimension on plywood and making scarf joint with plane.


                            
 
Next, put resin on plywood and glue them.When it occurs we could sand them flat with sander then nail them on the side of the frames if the shape is fine we could glue them.Making sure that plywood could go above onto stem with the right angle and cut the more out.After the plywood being glued ,we could clean up the glue coming out from inside and outside.
