All frames had been cut to fit and temporary assemble indoor.70% of the lumber I used are 2nd hand cengal wood. Frames and keel are transferred to a larger space at my yard for assemble.
Stem that cut to desired shape and fitted to the stem knee.
Installing the deck plate
The chines are up,by wrapping the part that needed for bending with some rags and soak with boiling water,this way will soften the lumber to make bending easier.
Bottom battens are added to the framework.
Side battens and sheer clamps fitted in firm and aligned.
This is the outboard mounting transom which I extended out off the original plan.
They are my buddies,thats all the tool Im having.so far so good,going to add in a router and orbiter sander later on.What do you think?Awesome right?
Below are free plans which I"d downloaded from the net.there are quite detailing and useful for anyone who like to start a DIY boat project.Is a 21-ft cabin cruiser plan.What I did was expended the scale of 1:1.5.That is 150% from the original size.Extra frames are needed to add in as to the expansion made.
Video clips of boat building are essential sources for collecting info and techniques of how others DIY and professional boat builder had build their boat.Id ran through hundreds of videos from youtube and other sources and gathered as much info as possible to assist my project.
Here are some inspiring and helpful video to share.

Has been three moths since my first post,this project is out off my schedule,never thought that the works are getting harder and time consuming,it OK,that doesnt kill me,my spirit is still high.,a lot of mistake been made and redo,two chine stock has been broken,both chine are split from a single lumber and not noticing there is knot in it although is a solid knot,it broke while bending them.
So far Ive added 9 frames to the hull structure with the total of 14 frames compare to the original 5 frames structure given in the plan due to the expansion Ive made.although frames spacing two feet is not favourable but Ill add more supporting structure like bulkhead and so on.To fare the entire structure to flush with the plywood plank is my next job.Meranti marine plywood BS1088 is the highest grade here in Malaysia but I cannot afford it,instead off that,Im going for another grade,they are marine plywood too,using local hard wood ,which also meet the BS 1088 standard ,saving half of the cost compare to Meranti grade.
The outer stem was shaped by hand and double framing transom or maybe Im just over concern about the weight that the transom is taking. &n
