I cut out the first plank #5 and glued up the second #4 this evening. #4 went on very nicely. A good fit!
This means just one more plank and half to go before planking is done! That will be a huge milestone in the project.
I'm eager to check and see if I can copy this plank #5 for the other side. It should fit. That will make the final plank symmetrical. If it doesn't fit, I don't expect it to be far off, at least enough to make any real difference. I do want the line to meet at the bow. So far I've been able to do that.
I might set a new goal for myself: Have the hull painted and ready to turn by my birthday! That'd be a great present to myself.
