Default Wooden boat beginners question

Hi. I'm getting into boatbuilding ; as a rookie.

I was considering building one of the simple designs - say Herb's
One Sheet Skiff as a sort of trial run. I understand the
instructions etc. fine, but there's one part I don't understand.

In the design he has top and bottom chines (gunwales ?). The top
one is notched and fits over the plywood. The bottom one is angled
at 70 degrees (the sides slope so the boat has a flat bottom) - on about
8' x 1" x 2" strips.

This is fine, but I can't for the life of me see how to do this ! Any advice
is very much welcome.
