We start with the ribs, the bottom board and the builder's jig.

.

Then we rotate the boat and securely fasten it to the builder's jig. We then place spreaders between the ribs to hold them to a precise width.

.

   We then begin planking the boat. Glue, drill and screw; glue, drill and screw. A messy job.

.

    Planking up to and flush with the bottom board; closing the boat.

.

We've left out a great many steps....most of which involve somebody doing something with sandpaper.
