Name says it all, people.
So as not to disappoint, I have yet another well, dumb question... Because of the geometry of the boat I'm building (yes, I realize this is taking me forever) I'm coming up with a little bit of a gap where the garboards get sanded back to reveal the stem - basically the spot where the curvature of the stem joins the relative flatness of the bottom, if that makes any sense. Because of the angle the planks run past the stem, I sanded them flush with the front of the stem, so to speak, and now I've got this space where the thickness of the planking needs to get bevelled into the stem. I know a picture would help, but ye old battery died in ye old camera the other day, and I didn't have time time to replace it.
It's probably something I'm doing wrong (it usually is) or else there's a way to do this without creating this gap. Maybe I didn't get the planking snug enough to the stem. I don't know. Just don't want it to be an empty space under the canvas that could get punctured...
