Yeah, that really is my trouble. I tend to only have time to work on this at the end of a work day before going home which really isn't ideal. I wish it was at home rather than at the workshop.

I've been drawing curves since I can't remember (about 50 years) and I've always just used a piece of string and a pencil. Start between two points to make a radius with a pivot point to be determined by putting the pencil end of the string on the starting point then by trial and error, find the pivot point with the other end of the string by touching the pencil on the start and end points till you get the correct arch with the string, then draw your radius. It's alot easier and faster. Then once you cut one side, just take the piece you cut off and use it to make the other side. Easy peasy!

Great stuff Stu

We learn more from our mistakes sometimes so thanks for your honesty and enjoying your build!

Thanks mate. I'm certainly going to be careful of this in the future. I was actually rushing because I didn't have any other video to upload this week which is a silly reason. I'll do some mechanical vids in the meantime and let this project take its due course.

Stu, One thing I found was very helpful was having various colors of razor point pens. I would start out in pencil, then once I double checked everything, I would mark it in colored pen. One in blue, one in green, one in orange and so on. That way, it was easy to cut out each part without fear of cutting the wrong line. I made all my benchmark lines in RED, meaning "do not cut this line". Great progress so far. Keep up the good work! -Tony

Thanks mate, that’s a really good tip. It also occurred to me afterwards that I could have laid all four sheets out and lofted all three from a factory edge then traced the other three anywhere they could fit. Much simpler! I’m on a camping trip at the moment (hence the rush to finish that vid) and I’ve brought a copy of Gougeon Brother on Boat building. Loving every page. It’s getting me so keen to push on.

Hey Stu glad to hear you are taking a well deserved break. And for all that fiberglass dust get some clear plastic drop clothes and hang them up around the boat to contain it and get some Tyvek suits and a good respirator no need to be itchy and miserable.

Either hire or buy an air sander with a water sprayer built in such as www.ebay.com/itm/5-Wet-Orbital-Air-Palm-Sander-NEW-/201623237133 and wet sand . Use a plastic ground sheet and some battens to make a bath tub and run to a drain. You wont get much sediment in the drain if you run the plastic out wide and let the water run slow, most of the sediment will drop out and can be scraped up and put in the rubbish bin. I have also seen people use gyproc sanders (drywall to the USA people) and vacuum at source . Saves suiting up in the heat!

I gotta thank you for these....i'm planning a build and i've already had a few things straightened out in my mind! Love the fact that you share the mishaps along the way because that's how we learn. particularly like how easily the lofting came along as i was half scared of that!! LOL thanks again

Thanks Mark, glad the vids are giving you a bit more confidence. It is surprisingly difficult to find step by step instructions for building a boat. There is information on techniques and detailed plans, but no real directions. You'll definitely be fine with the lofting, it is just a matter of going slowly and looking for anything that doesn't look right.

It’s looking great Stu. Looking forward to the bonding and fiberglass part of the project. Fiberglass work is the one subject where I can use more tips and training!

Haven't we all had an incident such as this? Fortunately, no injuries, and not too costly. But it does happen quickly and easily. Being tired and being dehydrated are just a few of the dangers. Anyways, as you were describing the mis-read incident and proposing photocopying it and cutting out the copies, I was thinking... just cover up the surrounding diagrams with other books, newspapers, wood scraps, etc to keep your eyes from inadvertently reverting to the "wrong" illustration. Don't want to see your project get delayed, but perhaps ol' Stu deserves some "me time" at home with just the family and some relaxing down time. Hope it's a nice easy weekend.

Anyway, back to the view. ;)

@DangarMarine

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks Rod. The Classic 19 looks like a really great boat, I like its lines. Mine specifies 9mm for the framing and decks and 6mm for the skin with a layer of fibreglass both inside and out over everything.

Looks like a fun project. I am curious as to how a wooden boat will stand up to a saltwater environment. What finish will you use? Given your ingenuity, I have no doubt it will be a prize.

@DangarMarine

Hey Greg. I think this boat will hold up better than aluminium when it comes to salt. The timber gets completely coated in epoxy and fibreglass and then painted. Out of interest, fresh water rots timber much faster than salt water.

Great series, thanks for doing it all as you go. I was wondering why you don't put both pieces of plywood together to cut out the duplicate pieces, vs. cutting one and using it for a template, with the problems that can cause? RichE

@DangarMarine

6 жыл бұрын

You could definitely give that a go. You would need to clamp them well and in places that wouldn't interfere with the saw. The circular saw would be fine with the thickness, but my jigsaw might struggle a little bit.

Howdy Stu, is this one of our good fella Mark Bowdidge's design? Can't tell how many hours I spent on these plans and it looks like an Edge Tracker 487 from here :) :) :)

Are there any alternative names for the "batten" you are using at the 4:34 mark ? Trying to find a 12 - 15 feet version of this at a homedepot or lowes store

Great job Stu! It is coming along nice. I think after the skin is done, you will have a great feeling seeing the fruits of your labor and can see it really take form. When I build the frame of fish tank stand and canopy I know it's not much longer. An ASS LOAD of sanding is the only part I hate to think about after the skin. I also don't have to deal with the fiberglass and epoxy portion either. Does this build require a lot of sanding, or do you just need to scuff the wood for the resin?

@DangarMarine

6 жыл бұрын

Hey Jim. I don't think sanding is anyone's favourite job. Once the glass is on the hull, you add a final layer of epoxy that has some small glass beads in it to make the epoxy resin into a thicker bog (for want of a better word). Once that sets you need to sand it back which I think is going to be the worst of it. My biggest worry really is where to do it. I don't want to cover everything in the workshop with a fine layer of dust or have it go into the environment. I think I might have to invest in a vacuum sander one day.

@dyemanoz

There's a variety of fillers to use to thicken epoxy. Real solid ones make extra strong structural adhesive but almost impossible to sand. Middling dense ones are good for filleting (tabbing). Then there are hollow ones (microballoons) that are good for final fairing and much easier to sand prior to final finishing. www.westsystem.com/filler-selection-guide/ Haven't tried it myself (though I intend to when I finally get around to more fibreglassing :-) ) but one way to get a good initial finish on fibregass cloth is to use peel ply - lays over newly fresh glass/epoxy, excess epoxy seeps through, and after peeling off leaves a smooth surface that should require little sanding, both because it's smooth and, because any amine blush is on the surface of the peel ply and thus is removed when the peel ply is peeled off (so to speak!). Should also be ready for application of a second fibreglass layer where required. Can get it on ebay or places like Boatcraft Pacific (along with the heaps of disposable brushes and foam rollers that you'll inevitably need!) (You're inspiring me to get back to my current unfinished boatbuilding project - Thanks!!)

@DangarMarine

6 жыл бұрын

Yes, I currently have two types of beads - one for gluing fillets etc (I think it's called Cabosil) and microballoons for fairing which is much easier to sand as you say. Interesting technique about the peel off layers, I'll have to look into that. Anything that avoids sanding has got to be good!

Hi Stu Well I think your deliberate mistake is going to prove very useful indeed.😉 It’s kinda funny no matter how much care you take there is a legion of opportunities to make errors. Anyway keep up the good work it’s starting to shape now.👍 Do the drawings call for wooden fillets at the intersections of frame and bulkhead? - I would have thought a nice (small) triangular section bit of timber would add strength and make for better glass fibre layup.

@DangarMarine

6 жыл бұрын

Hey Norman, you're not wrong about there being plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong! The building methods call for epoxy to go in the gap of the join, then once that is set the boat is turned over. Once it is right way up a mixture of resin and thickening glass beads is mixed to make to epoxy fillets on both sides of every join before glassing.

Which design was this?

If it's anything like my boat build has gone you'll use the scraps from the screw-up for something!

I would have cursed, throwing it in the corner and start all over setting the marks on 9 mm plates. I think you solution is the better one!!

Thanks Hans, it's a bit embarrassing at the time but people had to find out eventually that I'm not perfect, not even close, just ask my wife. ;) It did occur to me that they will be very handy if I make another boat the same so I'll definitely keep them somewhere safe.

4:01 Does that deduction for transom thickness apply to the outemost longitudinals? I would have thought it would be better to have the transom outside edges flush with the inside of the outer longitudinals so you're them into the heavier transom not the other way around - also, better to have fixings in shear than tension. Presumably there are still internal corner battens glued, screwed and epoxy faired in anyway? BTW the link from the original video to the plans bowdidgemarinedesigns.com/ROGUEWAVE_XR-16.html is broken - it appears he's withdrawn the Roguewave XR-16 model from the choices. I was wondering if he also supplies DXFs for cutting.
