Progressive Beveling
Progressive beveling is a critical step in traditional wooden boatbuilding, and Lou breaks down the setup so it can be applied to any bandsaw — not just a dedicated shipwright’s saw. He explains the angle adjustments, alignment considerations, and workflow needed to achieve consistent, repeatable bevels with accuracy and efficiency.
This demonstration sets the stage for the next major phase of the Orca build, where we’ll begin fabricating molds. Proper bevel preparation now ensures tight fits, clean glue lines, and fair lines down the road.
If you’re interested in boatbuilding, advanced bandsaw setup, or refining your shop processes, this is a detailed, practical walkthrough you won’t want to miss.
