: I am just building the strongback for my guillemot and have cut out

: forms and do an internal stem peice but I am stalled because the
: taper looks like it rounds over and continues over the shear
: line and if I cut it out like that then how do I get the hull
: off the form later? what is the point of it going over the
: shear? I dont know I am prob over thinking this anyone care to
: chime in please?!?

I'm building a Guillemot Double with an internal stem and had the same question in my mind. When ahead with process -- ended up cutting between sheer lines with coping saw to seperate deck from hull. Worked out well so far.
