11) Cutting the Centerline

After I rounded the bilge, stripping up to the centerline was no problem. The angle that the strips bend is a bit different, but progress is fast. After I passed the centerline (marked on each mold) I ran a stringline and drew on the centerline and cut down to it with the chisel. I never planned on using a chisel as much as I have for this project, but it is the perfect tool for cutting the 1/4" cedar (Note: Dad, I took your 1" chisel when I moved out, remind me to buy you a new one). I think I took 10 pictures of the freshly cut centerline it looked so good... I can't wait to cut the sheer.
