In Response To: Strip: planed hole in hull *PIC* (Eric Anderson)

: I did a rotten job of cove and beading (too shallow a cove) and the
: result was a lot of gaps between strips. The end result was I
: had to do a lot of planing that resulted in a hole (see below).
: My thought is to cut portions of the strips out around this area
: and place new pieces into the resulting area much like you would
: do in fitting the closing strip. I would just cut along the
: grain, cutting out a couple of strips. The part I am not sure of
: is the crosscut. I have just about any tool needed and I am
: thinking of using an exacto knife to cut accross the grain on a
: slight bevel.

: Any comments? (Besides the one I would make which would be
: "Why the heck did you keep going when you must have seen
: that the gaps were too large???")

Btw, everyone makes mistakes, some just won't admit it :)

You're not by a long shot the first to do this.
