Woodworking for beginners; a manual for amateurs . J-^--™—^ Fig. 444. lions are therefore omitted. The sides should each be of onef or -J board.

Thedeck can be covered with canvas. This boat, as shown in the illustration, is planked across the bottom like the other flat-bottomed boatsalready described, but the bottom boardscan run lengthways instead, if this case knees should be inserted, orcross-frames of some kind, to reach acrossthe bottom and to which the bottom boards can be nailed. Thebottom boards should be not less than J thick and the edgesmust be carefully jointed (see Jointing). They can be laid S3SSCSSS33 Fig. 445. 330 Wood-Working for Beginners. Fig. 446. slightly apart and the seams caulked (see page 302). Strips of flannel laid in thick white-lead paint can be placed between the edges of the sides and sternand the bottom boards, orthe edges can simply bepainted. The construction of thecase or trunk for the cen-tre-board can be under-stood from Figs. 446 and447. By either method ofconstruction the trunk con-sists of two upright posts,or headledges, cut withshoulders at the lower end, and sides of board screwed to these posts. A slot is sawed through the bottom of the boat of sufficient width and length to give the centre-board free passage—that is, of the dimensions of the opening at the bottom of the trunk. To cut this slot several holes can be bored close together until an opening is made sufficiently large to start the saw. By the arrangement shown in Fig. 446, a plank is taken and a slot is cut in it enough longer than that in the bottom of the boat to include the lower ends of the headledges, which should fit snugly.
