I'm working on the One Sheet Skiff as a first boat building project
(plans for Stevenson's Skipjack have been ordered). This may be an
obvious question, but are the screws to attach the chine logs and
gunwales driven from the outside in or inside out? I'm assuming you
want to countersink the heads, but not have the screw poking out the
other side? I'm trying my best to "build the boat" in my head before I
start. Thanks!

It'll probably be bound with wire ties, which may be cut off after
the epoxy sets. That's how a lot of little kits go together. A
spanish windlass is used to pull the bendy bit together. A spanish
windlass is a loop of rope and a stick twisted in the middle.
