And I got the BEST bottle of Irish Whiskey from my son today(home from university, having missed Father's Day,) voila, a very good occasion....cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
Good lad there. Momma raised him right.
Awesome Mark! She’s got some beautiful lines.
Indeed!
She's a beauty Mark. Watching the progression of the hull is fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
Very welcome Scott.
Always like 👍🏼 the wealth of experience you share Mark. Thanks muchly from down in Aus’
My pleasure!
Well, I'll take a shot of whiskey for your whiskey plank. Beautiful work, Mark. Cheers!
Cheers to you too.
Nice work Mark. Haven't seen anyone use their rabbet plane as a bucking iron before, but if it works go with it. Have a great week ahead.
Thanks, you too! I'm sure someone was cringing at that.
A great milestone, congrats!
Thank you! Can’t wait to see the inside for a change.
John Gardner designed his 18-foot Gunning Dory to use batten-seam planking, similar to the technique you used - except the battens were part of the boat. Looks like an interesting boat to build.
Yes. Batten seams were standard construction on whale boats where light weight and robustness were important. It probably made for easier on-ship repairs too. Willits Ansel wrote a great book on the subject.I do love John's Gunning dory.
Good work deserves a treat Mark. I'm catching up on the progress, so I' m a bit behind. Funny you happened to be fitting the "Whiskey" plank as I enjoy my first whiskey in a few weeks. Jameson Black Barrel to be exact. Oakie, fruity and smooth. If you get your fist around a bottle , grab it. Very difficult to put the cork back in once its out. Slàinte as we say in the Emerald Isle. More mossy green with all the rain were having at the moment.😄
I gave up the hooch some years ago but a nice smokey single malt is the one thing I really miss.
You have your reasons and good for you that you are able to stay off it. 👍.Some poor guys cant stay off it. I usually only have one and measured , I do like the Smokey's too.
Another great vid
Glad you enjoyed
I had this thought yesterday when watching on Patreon and couldn't comment. When you talk about how a clamp can influence a batten, what if you taped a thumb tack to one side of the spring clamp yielding a single point of contact that would freely pivot 🤔
That's probably a little fussy but it’s the ability for the batten to spring away from the nail that helps you to refine the curve. I might put eight or ten nails on my desired line but then only a nail every third position on the back side for instance. Then the batten can spring off a low spot or maybe identify a high spot if it only touches one nail in a series if you get what I mean. These are subtle differences which may not make a noticeable difference in most cases but if you are chasing a refined result, I think it’s worth doing.
Thanks
Hey Brian. I really appreciate the way you've been kicking in a couple bucks on a regular basis. It's encouraging far beyond the monetary value.
@Nomadboatbuilding Hello Mark, like your efficient way of working and forward thinking. Worked in a boat yard here in the Orkney Islands Scotland where we did wooden boat repairs the idea of a new build is on the bucket list.
@@brianpottinger1263 Nice. Can't beat a new build and you should have some great inspiration out there in the Orkneys. The best way to avoid boat repairs is to keep the fleet fresh after all. If all the GRP boats were 50+ years old they would have same reputation for being a lot of work that the woodies do.
When you're doing the ringed nails at the stem, is there any concern about the nails contacting each other, or are they short enough that's not an issue?
It does happen from time to time depending on the nail length and stem size. Sometimes I will angle one side a little off to avoid it or nip the nail a little shorter.
