Frame & Plank Replacement - 1960's 28' Lyman


Joseph receives a steaming white oak frame


Peter inspects the clamping pressure as the frames cool
Eleven new frames aligned and ready for 1/2" planks to be fit

The dry-fit oakume planks are epoxy sealed as per the manufacturer's instruction - "marine grade" plywood ain't what it used to be


Installed with Sikaflex, scarf joints with thickened epoxy and counter-sunk screw heads filled with vinylesther filler
