Planking

I have had a few long days in the wood shop. I have accomplished a few things.
I do not want to rush this project, but it gives me a great deal of pleasure to make progress. The hours seem to slip by and I emerge late in the afternoon covered in sweaty sawdust, but feeling satisfied and at peace.
After the chines and the support pieces at the stern were glued in place, I clamped long planks of quarter-inch plywood on the sides and traced the outlines of their new shapes. I was nervous to see how they would all come together, so I had some long days getting to the closed-in stage.
Yesterday I screwed the last of the planks in place. John Marples says to use dry wall screws to hold the planks in place until the epoxy has set, then remove the screws. Instead, I used stainless screws, counter-sunk and filled the holes with epoxy filler. I am never sure how well the planks are secured. Extra work, weight and expense to leave the little screws in, but the security is worth it to me.
The attached pictures show the hull with the epoxy filler over the screw holes and filling the gaps between some of the planks.
