Carvel Planking Ep23 Hatches and Deck Joinery

The hatches and deck joinery are all complete on the 24' Ranger class gaff-rigged sloop being built as a retirement project by Ian Smith of the Sydney Wooden Boat School, author of the book WOODEN BOATBUILDING- THE SYDNEY WOODEN BOAT SCHOOL MANUALS. Ian brings his half-century of building wooden boats to show you tricks of the trade as he describes building this iconic Sydney Harbour vessel. The preceding 22 episodes (and more to come) are all available @SmithysBoatshed.

It's been a real joy watching you work on this project for several years now! If I could ask, how do you clean up the varnish that inevitably ends up on the deck and hull of the boat?

[@SmithysBoatshed]

150 grit power sand that was going to happen anyway before final undercoats.

[@Pocketfarmer1]
