Temptress Build 45: Shaping the Stringers

This video continues to a step-by-step demonstration of building a 24 foot wooden runabout boat. In this video, I shape the sapele stringers to the shape of the boat bottom.
Temptress is a wooden runabout designed by Dan Lee Boat Building.

Great videos, I'm busy binge watching 🙂 I love how much more confident you've become over the course of the build.
Another method for profiling the stringers and keel... Screw or clamp some thin ply to the frames on either side then you can use your router with a suitably wide base resting on the ply to remove the excess material and get a really nice smooth profile. Finish with the hand plane. Nothing wrong with the way you did it of course, just a suggestion for an alternative.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of your build!

Great comment. Serdar Bas did this in his videos. I was going to do the same, but the track saw was faster. Can’t say it was better, just faster.
Thanks for watching.

@@Polymerman Awesome, I'll watch his videos next :)

I absolutely love your videos. You show the warts and everything and that is so cool to watch. Also love seeing my signature engraved!!

[@Polymerman]

You will need to engrave more parts. I need help.

There appears to be a slight dip in the stringer around the 6th or 7th or so frame bay from the front- port side (when flipped right side up)

[@Polymerman]

You are correct. In Temptress Build ~25, I laminated the stringer vertically. Gravity caused the bend under it own weight. It video 26, I did it the right way and laminated horizontally.

[@davidbadion7917]

and/or you saw down to the line across the stringer at several places to create a visual indicator to guide your depth of cut

[@Polymerman]

That would have been a good idea. Thank you.

Boaty!!!

I went out today and worked the chine bottom rail with two different planes. It worked really well.

I think an electric chainsaw would be faster to remove the bulk of the stringer and keel

[@Polymerman]

Perhaps. My bigger mistake is taking off too much material. I did this in several places.
And I don’t own an electric chain saw or many other tools for that matter.
