Half-Hull Model Plans

About

If you'd like an overview of the process for building a half model, William Baycroft of BC Canada does a nice job of it in this 9 minute video, featuring our MINVERVA plan. And, if you are wondering what tools you might need, here's the quick rundown: Scissors, pencil, band or coping saw, Combo square, hammer, spokeshave, block plane, wood or Shinto rasp, chisels (1/2" to 1-1/2"), gouge, screwdriver, and about a dozen C-clamps. And for materials (there's a list that comes with your plans) you'll want carpenter's wood glue, sandpaper from 40 to 220 grit, and finish, like varnish, shellac, tung oil, lacquer, or paints.
