: ...so, a little help with the definition of rolling bevel: it sounds like
: removing material from the fixed strip and the soon to be fixed strip so
: that the edges are aligned. more technically, if the total angle between
: the old strip and the new strip is 10 degrees, each strip is beveled
: (flat, the length of the strip) 5 deg.

: if that is the def...it seems there is some division on whether or not to use
: the cove and bead or the rolling bevel. without going back to look through
: my previous post, there may have been more suggestions to use the rolling
: bevel. outside of initial time and cost are there other draw backs to cove
: and bead? advantages and disadvantages to rolling bevel?

: thanks in advance.

Hi Steve. If you look at the associated picture you will see that there is very little in the way of radical curve in the topsides or the bottom of the hull. There is even less in the deck. The only place that needed bevels at all in the boat pictured is at the chine area around the cockpit region. This area in any case is largely carved into pionty bits anyway and if you were doing the hull in this way you would benefit from planing the cove off the last topsides strip anyway in order to ovoid having to bead your pointy bits. This is only one way to strip a hull. A second example in the next post.

The next post from me will have a different example of hull stripping where one can CandB right to the bitter end without much need for planing off of coves all over the place.
