Nutshell Pram EXCUSE ME Gunwales

 25 Apr 22:

Plans call for a 5/8th inch wide by 1 inch tall, one piece gunwale, attached to the outside of the sheer plank. We decided to rip 3/8th inch strips and have both an outer and inner gunwale, to create a handhold. Ripped the pieces on a De WALT portable table saw.

We wanted to use a #10 screw because it had more meat on the screw, to hold the inner and outer gunwale together, but all we had were one inchers, and they stuck out a bit. We fixed that with a belt sander

Bevel Tips Part 1:

Bevel Tips Part 2:

Marked and planed the bevels. Go slow and check often, it's hard to add wood back.

We chose to angle our knees up a bit more than plan. 

Rounded the inner face edges with a De WALT Random Orbital sander before installation.

Attaching the knees with Frearson Head silicon bronze wood screws. Drilled a pilot hole and countersink firat with a Fuller Combination bit.
