: Looking at your boat, your forms 1 and 2 start going horizontal.

: Yes, you will bevel the strips and you should use 1/2 width strips
: to get around that bend on the forward deck.

: Here's what I do: take your strip and place it along the boat and
: put pencil tick marks on the strip corresponding to your forms.
: A good way to work is have a little shelf along the boat on each
: side so you can lay the strip there and bevel it with a block
: plane. As I bevel a section, I now push it up in position and
: see how it fits. The little pencil marks let me know what area
: I'm working on. I go section by� section, often beveling a few
: feet at a time. That strip will have a pretty strong bevel on
: your front deck. Put a pencil line along the strip as it is
: beveled to completion so you don't start re-beveling a section
: that you just did. Two strips will get your around the bend and
: back to full width strips. Don't forget, since a strip has two
: edges, the angle to make a 45 degree bend has to be around half
: of that with two faces touching.

: Don't panic. It's easier than you imagine. and if you off a tiny
: bit, error on the over beveled side so you get tight outside
: joints. You can always fill the inside with a tiny bit of putty.
: Nobody can cut two half width strips and make a rolling bevel 90
: degree corner perfectly. But you can easily make the outside
: joints perfect.

Great explanation (and good pointers on shop setup for this). I'd just add - this part of the construction is, perhaps, the most fun! Getting a strip to conform to those rapidly changing
orientations appears daunting - until you do it. Piece o' cake.
I've gone to using 1/2" strips, several runs, around the shear - both hull and deck. Much easier to 'convince' the strip to follow the lines I'm interested in. I don't like using cheaters, and getting the upsweep at the bow/stern is so much nicer and easier with the narrower strips. Besides, what's the hurry? As soon as you finish one, you'll just be started on the next. Pace yerself!
