Don's photo refers,
I was making some plank bending jigs for my Victory and thought you guys might be interested in a simple jig to bend the plank around part 70.
Mark the radius of the stern on a piece of scrap ply. Carefully cut out the pattern with a jigsaw, fretsaw, scrollsaw etc. A jigsaw blade is about the thickness of a plank.
Follow the pictures below.
I put the plank in ammonia for about 10 minutes prior to putting it in the jig but steam or hot water should be just as good.
