Heyo..! Love the methods & techniques.. Mirroring the stern-line: Happy to see the paper come out, thought. I like to keep a role of builder's felt (the grey stuff) cause it's cheap and has a lot of body to it. With a big enough piece folded in half lengthwise, it could be stuck to the hull from the center-line over before any layout. Once removed, any humps can be faired on a table (drawing curves etc) then cut through both layers. Unfold and lay back over the hull, the crease down the center-line and a perfectly symmetrical layout.
@@Nomadboatbuilding Handy stuff that.. You sketch something out you like and you have something you can cut out to make a template from (or whatever...)
That’s a great suggestion but compound curves can make the paper/plastic templates pretty tricky. Definitely one to keep in the toolbox though, it all depends on the specific situation you find yourself in
I find your videos very soothing and love watching the build of this boat. It provides some peace of mind during lockdown here in the Netherlands and certainly makes life more pleasant. Keep up the good work and thumps up!
@@Nomadboatbuilding I live in a small village approximately 15 kilometers west of the city Groningen, so in the northern part of the country. Have you ever visited the Netherlands?
@@Nomadboatbuilding I grew up in southern Limburg and lived there in Brunssum, Heerlen, Sibbe, Borgharen and Maastricht. Edit: were you born in the Netherlands? Do your parents still live there? All none of my business of course, but I'm curious about how someone can end up where you are with Dutch parents.
Since this is a one design boat, I wonder if you have considered the benefits of buying one. Especially if you can find one with hull damage but otherwise in good condition. In one stroke you get the spars, all the hardware (very expensive if purchased individually), a rudder, and possibly some useful rigging. You can take each piece of running rigging and measure the length you will need for the new ones. You have a guide for how to arrange the controls. You may even get a set of sails which are good enough for initial trials.
It not actually a one design class. It’s a development class. The client did but one right before proceeding with the build with the idea that we could possibly cannibalize it if we desired.
With you clamping of the batten problems, you could have used off-cuts of wood or ply as clamps and screwed them into the waste you want to remove from the hull. Much easier than struggling with various clamps.
Another great video.... At time 8:40 or so, had you considered using double sided carpet tape to hold the flexible button onto the hull? A strip of carpet tape would allow you to adhere it to the line, and could be adjusted without fiddling with the clamps..
I certainly pull out the double sided tape a lot but I wasn't thinking along those lines just there. I think that was sort of the first kick at the can to see how it would shape up and I got there fast enough without trying to strategize too much.
New sub here so forgive me if this is an old tip. I use lasers a lot and when I need to tweak a 64th I will take my pencil and tap the base of my laser for super fine adj.While Ima blabbing another tip for viewers from my brother the painter when masking off I will see him with10 pcs of tape tabbed to his shirt so he doesn't have to reach for a pc. Your work is Awesome glad I came across your channel.
Excellent question. If the overall shape was symmetrical then probably yes, but the path string takes as it wraps around the form will affect its accuracy.

I should really get a roll of that in here. I’m sure I would use it for all kinds of stuff. All the felt I keep on hand is saturated in tar.

Your measuring gauge you made is just so simple but so ingenious. Nice.
Thanks Brad
Intriguing. Loved the giant compass!!
Love your work learning more each week.
Thanks David. I appreciate that.

Thanks. What part of the Netherlands are you in? I have family there.
@@Nomadboatbuilding I live in a small village approximately 15 kilometers west of the city Groningen, so in the northern part of the country. Have you ever visited the Netherlands?
Yes. My mother is from Deventer and my father from Limburg. A little village near Echt.

Certainly could have but sometimes you just start going down one path and it takes you where it takes you.
@@Nomadboatbuilding We have all done that

batton. not button--

Welcome aboard and thanks for the tips.
Such a Pretty Boat, I wich I had your tallents and skill. great video as always!
Well these things are mostly hard earned I assure you. I have no doubt you have the same abilities given the time and dedication to develop them.
Hi Mark. Can the compass thing be done with strings? cheers from Brasil.
Excellent question. If the overall shape was symmetrical then probably yes, but the path string takes as it wraps around the form will affect its accuracy.
@@Nomadboatbuilding bit like finding great circles on a globe 👍😎
*Mark* sit back and let you do the work, ok l can manage that.
🎉🍻🤣👍😎
Deal!
@@Nomadboatbuilding you got it👍
You tease...
