For making the 'bend' frames we made 3 mm thick Mahogany slats so we could laminate them alongside the different stations. The method we use is a bit different to what Vivier recommends.
Instead of building the hull first over the stations and then adding the frames, we choose to do it more or less in an old-fashioned way.
We built the hull over pre- shaped frames made out of small laminated slats.
On each station we glued and screwed small blocks.
Over these blocks we could bend the slats and laminate the rib like frames. (each set of slats is packed in plastic household foil before bending).
We made this tool to determine the bevel in mm of each position of the planking. Using a strip batten.
( The width of the ruler = the width of the frame!)
We taped all stations to avoid gluing the frames to the stations.
