Thank you for this video. You showed me how to correct some of my problems while planking. I am building an RC 1 meter model as my first boat. This is a test run before I start my goal of building a model J boat.
As you might have guessed, building a model prior to the full size boat is money in the bank. Not only do you get a dry run of the building experience but you can also use it to figure out material requirements. Take some time to shoot a little video and take pictures of the process because I guarantee you’ll come back to revenue them later.
I thought that building a full size boat was tough and I've only build a small skiff! That model is unreal Mark and meticulous. I am looking at doing a Pygmy kayak this summer after the virus passes and I just hope that I can do it the justice that you have in this model so fare. The finished model is beautiful. Take care, stay safe and stay well. Thank yo for the video.
I'm curious what wood you're using? I don't think I've heard it mentioned in the videos about this so far, but could be wrong. Mostly interested in what wood the strips are made from, and later what the lighter veneer is.
The planking is Alaskan yellow cedar inner layer and sapelle mahogany outer layer. All the longitudinal framework and deck structure is Sitka spruce and the remaining elements are occume mahogany plywood. Bulkheads and sub-deck.
I like the model build and find what you are doing interesting. I was just wondering though: are you planning to finish that lovely little dory sometime?
Bruce Millar The Dory videos will keep coming but I want this series to keep pace with the activities in the shop. One more model video coming and then I’ll switch back to the dory build.
@@Nomadboatbuilding thank you for the info, I don’t build large boats but I do build model ships and that would be very handy to have, I do like watching the boat builders on RUclips, and just started watching this one. It relaxes me. Good job on the vids and the build
Yes. I'm not knocking Malmsten's design or drawings but by minimal I am referring to the fact that they are not dictating any construction details and the full basic sets of lines and offsets are not all included. However there are full size templates for the stations, rudder and ballast keel plus a sail plan. In theory you don't absolutely need the full lines to move ahead on the project with what he has given you. It's just not a typical set of plans intended for the home builder in which all the details are laid out for you.
Great job. This is a scale model- are the strips to scale too as far as thickness and width go? Is there any difficulty with final fairness where those feather edges land between “frames”?
They are eyeballed to a relative scale. For the most part it faired out pretty good. The planking was so thin though, that I glued a few patches of fibreglass onto the backsides to tie it together better. I would have been a little better off making them thicker with an eye toward fairing later.
I have no idea. I got mine back in boat school over twenty years ago. The old timers used wood though. They would give them different tapers to change up how they bent.

For being a rough model, beautiful work Bud.

Your set of mignature planes is incredible!
They do come in handy.
Loving it Mark! Keep the great vids coming!
Will do Ryan. Thanks.

Matt Evans-Koch thank you Matt, I'm sure you'll do a fine job. Pygmy puts out a good product.
Awesome!
Love the work you are doing . We live right near Lake Ontario and this would look so nice on that water. - Ruthie
One of the yacht clubs out there might just have a fleet.

I’d like to ask where you got that mini hand plane from?
Hi Erik. I got that plane from Lee Valley Tools. They have a whole range of miniature tools. They are quite well made.

You Malmsten Boats that the drawings are minimal. Are you referring to the plans offered by Malmsten Boats

Nice work. Do you know where l can purchase a drafting spline like yours ?
I have no idea. I got mine back in boat school over twenty years ago. The old timers used wood though. They would give them different tapers to change up how they bent.
@@Nomadboatbuilding Okay, thanks Mark.
The Pounce Wheel Was Used A Lot By Sign Painters Also
Thanks Jim.
By the time you're done with the model, you'll have your table of offsets.
Bruce Millar maybe so but I won’t be needing them.
it seems like all of your ducks in a row look more like whales at ramming speed
Good eye. That they are.
Way first
