Today I am going to tell you about sheer clamps and chine logs. The sheer clamps are put between the walls of the boat to make it more sturdy.Chine logs are 1x1 strips of wood that are glued to the perimeter of the sides of the boat. They are used to keep the boat sturty and it makes it possible to nail the top and bottom to the sides. First you put glue on one of the chine logs and glue it to the panel. When you glue it, you glue it proud which means to leave extra showing on the edge so you can shave it down after.In the picture above you can see the chine logs glued to the panel.

Dan, this is info that will help improve your post.
What is a sheer clamp? What does it do?
What is a chine log? What is that for?
It says something about glueing things, what am I glueing to at this stage, do I glue the "sheer clamp" to the "chine log?"
Its a little unclear...
I like the intro though.
