Episode 19 of Carvel Planking series: Building the Cockpit and Back of Cabin is now up

The cockpit has been in for quite a while but not permanently. Gluing it together and sheathing it had to wait until the back of the cabin was in, and that couldn’t happen until the engine was in. I discuss the choice I made to use marine plywood in the cockpit, and show how I scarfed the plywood together and how I sheathed it with dynel cloth in WEST System epoxy resin. The back of the cabin is all built from Queensland Maple, as was most of the Ranger fleet.
