I'm guessing you've already made it far enough to be routing the bulkheads. That being said, you probably already discovered that a stronger router would have helped speed up that process. A 400W router will cut 4mm ply, but a 1/2 hp router with a larger shank does it so much easier with much less heat build up in the bit. Don't ask me how I know.
I LOVE watching you videos and have decided that a Janus 22 will be the first boat i build from scratch along with you.
Awesome mate, where will you be building your Janus?

Neat! I appreciate the attention to detail and effort to make later jobs easier.
Yep, a little bit of effort now will definitely save time later.
Thanks for sharing. An interesting approach.
Thanks Paul
Nice!
I like your no-nonsence just start building strategy. Here i am stil contemplating life before eventually ever maybee starting on a wa'apa build xD
Just trying to plug away it while keeping things as simple (and cheap) as possible. 👍
Have you started your wa’apa?

You might want to consider a pattern bit - bearing is at the router end. You won’t need to manhandle large pieces on the router table then.

A more powerful router would be handy but I figure if I keep my rough cuts close to the template the one I have should (fingers crossed) last the job
