To prepare the stem of a 23-foot V-bottom skiff for planking, the builder bevels the laminated stem to create a flat bearing surface for the side planks.1:59 Because the stem is laminated with multiple glue lines and opposing grain, the builder avoids a traditional rabbet, opting instead to bevel the stem and later install a stem cap to cover the plank ends.3:40 Using a Ryobi electric planer and a number five hand plane, the builder establishes the bevel angle by checking the fit with a batten against the mold.4:23 Once the bevel is set, the builder fastens the first two side planks—one on each side—using number 12 by 2-inch silicon bronze screws bedded in polysulfide.11:10 The builder coats the screws with beeswax to ease installation and uses a handsaw to trim the forward ends of the planks flush against the stem.13:45 The next phase of construction involves installing chine logs and vertical frames before laying the sole and Ashcroft-style bottom planking.16:02
