3 Steps to Fairing a Hull, Building a Fairing Tool, S2-E27

In this episode of the Art of Boat Building I begin fairing the hull. In this 3 step processes we discuss the method of hand planing followed by sanding with a slow speed rotary sander. The last step of long boarding is sanding by hand with a long board. As a part of the tool building series I talk about my criteria for the marine fairing board. Finding a donor tool at Harbor Freight I use the auto body sander to produce an improved tool that will be a flexible sander over the curves of the hull. Producing handles in black walnut not only makes the fairing board function better but it also becomes a beautiful comfortable tool.
