Helluva project that one! Send my regards to Martin L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAP Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I used t&g matchboard on the sides and ceiling. The tongues were wood glued into the grooves along each length. After two years none have separated. Read Graham Booth’s bc article, specifically regarding the drop down bed flap. As part of my research I photographed Resolute’s back cabin - many thanks to Dave Moore for his help here. I also photographed Alcor’s back cabin and have pored over many bc images on the web. I posted a pic recently in the Scumbling thread but I find it astonishing that I am still building the bc two years after I started. Work gets in the way and I only have weekends to work on it.

Dav and Pen Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 We had to start with the gunwhales before we could rebuild the cabin on crane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working full time and tinkering at the weekends does not allow me to get on with it at a decent pace. Good luck with yours, for me it has been an interesting challenge.
