In Response To: Strip: Don't want to start a war, but (Patsy)

: can we talk about stripping methods?

Hi Patsy, I used method #2. I thought about doing other methods but, by the time I got to that stage, I was so eager I went for the path of least resistance. The bottom of the boat gets very little face time anyway...

You basically strip one side of the football letting each strip pass across the centerline. You go back and trim a straight line when you're done and then strip the alternate side. A rabbet plane is the only tool that can really smooth/trim the centerline. Stripping the other side of the football is harder since you have to miter the ends of each strip. I think overall it is less complex than the other methods you described.
