: The internal stem gives you something for the ends of the strips to
: be glued to and adds strength. It isn't an add-on to the form.
: It should take the place of part of it (ie remove material from
: the form and then replace it with the same shape in whatever
: material you're making the stem out of.. hot glued to the lower
: part of the form). So essentially you have a form with a
: break-away edge. You glue the strips to it, and when you take
: the boat off of the forms, the edge stays with the strips....
: The large part of the form stays on the strongback.
I understand that the internal stem becomes part of the boat. My internal stem is pine. So, my other questions are: Do I cut out the area shown "remove"? Is there a clear sketch/photo of the internal stem attached to the bow form showing how to handle the point of form 1?
