    Yes a master plan on what not to do, guess you have never watched other boat builders, Yaba.... wheels will never work, long beams should of been place under the original frame on the ground and the hull dragged outside.... then a crane or two could have lifted and rolled the hull....

Also: when I saw Vera on that bike it hit me that we are watching her grow up in total parallel to the boat growing in that barn, it really hit me, brought tears to my eyes, yes it did! This is definitely up there with Sampson Boat Co., these are the two greatest sites I know of.... Truly inspiring! THANK YOU BOTH!

    Consider adding thin steel sheet to the bottom of the cradles, it will radically improve rigidity as steel will take all tension stresses. The sheet needs to be fastened at the sides so it can handle the load. Also you can fill the gaps between the beams with foam to make a strong, solid beam.

  • @d.j.vanderschoot3717

    @d.j.vanderschoot3717

    Ай бұрын

    Concur. A steel sheet at the bottom, properly fastened to the sides should work best to stiffen en strengthen the cradle. I'm mostly worried about stress at about 1/4 from the ends or so, where the cradle loses contact with the hull. In this case, with the hull in close contact with the cradle, the hull itself stiffens the cradle. There are cradles with no inherent stiffness that derive all their form stability from the boat's hull. They are called slings ;) Basically you make a sling with wheels. As long as the thinnest bit of the cradle can take the horizontal tension exerted by the hull (squeezing out the sides of the cradle), then you should be good. The steel plates can take the majority of that horizontal tension load.

    Also concur. Think about composition floor joists. All the strength is in the top and bottom beams. The top in compression, the bottom in tension. The web in the middle really just holds the top and bottom apart. In this case the middle beams also add needed rigidity. Beautiful work. Love your channel.

    Would you consider making a fibreglass mould of the hull at the sections where the boxes will be located? That way you could be sure of the fit to the hull and also spread the load on the box more than the thin plywood. Important when the full weight of the boat will be resting on these areas as the boat is completed over the coming years. I think the pulley arrangement to hoist and manoever the cradle was simple and efficient.

    Great video that really shows the thinking required to do this kind of heavy work. When I was planning something similar my idea was to lay up a fibreglass shell over the hull using thick plastic sheet barrier. Making the shell with fibreglass and thin plywood layers to build up to the required strength. You could then either pop the shell off and build your frame around it or build the frame to the shell in situ on the hull.

    Ewan, lovely job on the support boxes! May I suggest that you consider closing the bottom face of the boxes with a glued and screwed plywood skin (maybe around 8mm - 12mm) you’ll be creating a much stronger unit in bending and I very much doubt that you’d need to add further steel structure later. That added skin will be in tension when the unit’s on its wheels. Given the width of each box, that tensile load will be distributed across a huge cross section of ply which will be good for several tons more than you’ll be presenting to it. Just adding a retired old engineer’s perspective. I hope that you’ll not be offended, I know that you are immensely capable and the quality of your workmanship is absolutely impeccable. Happy Easter to the three of you. Spring has finally sprung at last! Cheers, Rob. 😎👍🍻

    keep in mind the "span" on those cradles isn't a point loaded span. The width of the hull is supported at every point where the hull and the cradle meet and they almost become "one" in terms of a load analysis. You aren't wrong to reinforce it like you have but you don't need to be that worried about the span supporting the load of the boat.

  • @oliverf944
    @oliverf944Ай бұрын

    Another way to build the cradles while the boats upside down... heavy glass laminates 5--10mm thick over a double layer of 1' wide corrugated cardboard running athwartship over the bilge where you want the cradles to sit. then glue a thick tall and wide bearer athwartship full length of the pad, level and scribed to the laminated pad. ( 3-4layers thick of 18mm ply on a boat this size would be ideal for the bearers.) Bond the bearer to the pad with more heavy glass laminate too. later when removed, replace the cardboard with 10mm foam (yoga mats work well and cheap). the compressed foam from the weight of the hull sitting right side up will approximately match the offset created by the previous double layers of corrugated cardboard and fit perfectly to the bilge.

    A couple of thoughts: First, the Emajõe Lodjaselts (www.youtube.com/@hansalodi) project in Estonia just launched their barge using large inflatable rollers, something to consider for getting RAN 3 out of the shed. Second, you do not need to reinforce the keel-side of the roll-boxes to hold the finished weight, just get the hull back in the shed and jack it up to put a stronger carriage under it then. Thanks for filming this it lets the rest of us live our dreams vicariously. I started watching as you were buying timber. It was especially fun to watch the planking since I was building my own cedar planked boat at the time, but mine is just a 18 foot (6 m) canoe. 🙂
