Bill,
Question for you. On my PBK19 I had substituted 6 inch aluminum channel in
place of Mr. Blandfords 6 inch piece of ash with 1/2 inch brass strip
wrapped around it(which wraps around the outside of the halved ends).
Anyway, I had halved all the gunwales and stringer pieces. There is no way I
can fold this thing without substituting a plain butt joint in the middle
somewhere (in other words, cutting the halved ends flush), and perhaps
installing a hinge somehow. The only way I can do it is by disassembling by
pushing outwards. This isn't all that easy either. Of course with the skin
on it would be impossible to fold/unfold.
I think the puffin uses the piece of ash with brass strip on the gunwales,
and homemade brass channel on the stringers. How in the world do you unfold
this thing?
