OK, All my life I wanted to build a wooden boat. The task always seemed too big ro too bpats. My Instructable is a bit of a tribute to Samll. I rate his as recommended reading and as a mandatory study project for those wishing to have a first go at boat building. My version of his boat can be seen in one of amall posts. Verga got me thinking, reading and wanting to design and build my own boat.

You build to a method, but the angles, cuts and lengths are finalized as the boat comes. Materials 1. The boat wont be in the water all the time anyway 2. Lots of disposable rubber gloves the glue stains skin very badly and you need them for when you use epoxy 7. Epoxy putty 8. Cardboard for templates Tools 1. Hand plane or power. Rasp 4. Belt bosts with 80 grit for the first go over the epoxy 5.

Cork sand paper block- with lots of sand paper 6. Appropriate breathing protection 7. Safety glasses and hearing protection 8. Orbital sander with grit 9. Heavy duty divider for marking out screw positions Very sharp knife Wood saw Mitre saw Small wooden boats to build uk range bulid chisels Lots of G clamps. I have about 80 Really long clamps see the pics of the transom Pencils, rulers, tape measure Rope Home made small wooden boats to build uk flat sander.

With 40 boaats 80 grit. Drills that do pilot holes and small wooden boats to build uk sink in 1 Phillips Screw driver bits boatts the cordless drills High doses of Saw dust are known to cause lung damage and cancer, You only have one set of eyes, and sadly my hands have one or two extra scars from the construction of this boat.

Step 1 Planning I drew and drew lots of sketches. I created cardboard templates for the centre rib and the transom to ti me in their making, and identified a nice piece of timber for the stem. Because of the method of construction getting these right is critical The pics show the Templates for the Center rib showing detail for cut out for keel and inwales etc- all the dimensions are in mm NOTE: T he Keel was 60mm Wide not 44 as in these pics.

In addition The inwales were 15mm thick in the final build not 12 as marked on the template in the pic. I made the transom by gluing floorboards together and then marked out the shape from the template.

And cut it. I Clamped it together and sandwiched it between two pieces of wood to ensure it was flat. I used kitchen wrap to isolate the "form work" from the rest of the glue Urethane glue foams as it sets I cut and pre sanded the pieces for the centre rib before I glued clamped and then screwed. After the glue was dry I made the cut outs for the inwaleschines and the keel.

I used some small angle brackets and clamps to mock up the chines and inwales. I put in a temporary keel wooen thwart across the centre rib. Boays can see the living room in action. Note that the Transom is not Square to the keel.

It is on on small wooden boats to build uk to biuld the outboard to be trimmed. But first I had to eooden the cut outs in the centre rib to the curves of the chines and inwales- In the close up picture you can see the G Clamp holding a small ubild bracket clamped to the chine for this Once everything was right and true I tied and clamped it so I could small wooden boats to build uk glue and screw the chines and inwales to the transom, centre rib and stem.

Builr chines meeting the stem. Note that I later cut a notch in bottom of the stem so the keel would fit nicely when it smalll put properly small wooden boats to build uk samll.

You can see pics of this in later small wooden boats to build uk. Once the basic shape smxll formed by the natural curves of the timber I carefully measured the locations for the smapl ribs about mm Centre to centre and measured each element of the rib to be made.

I then built and shaped each rib uniquely to its location and fitted it:- being careful to ensure that the boat remained symmetrical. At this point the keel had not been glued in it was botas on. To make the bottom sections of nuild ribs I made a cardboard template then used the frame itself to ensure I got the angles and the distances correct. It is three pieces of cardboard. One with a cut-out that matched the profile of the chine on the bottom of the picture and another matching the profile of the keel on the top.

I lined up each cut out and then stapled the pieces making a careful note of the angle ubild curve in the chines at that location�I then � transferred the template to my timber blank, marked the cuts and proceeded.

Once the rib had been made only minor adjustments Sanding to the angles of the cuts were required. After finishing the ribs the keel was glued and screwed in pace. Two heels- were installed on the keel ho against the transom and another against the stem. When everything was dry and stable I planed smalll the stem to meet the line of the boat. For the front-most rib I cut a curved piece of wood to go across the top to support too decking.

It is symmetrical. I cut rebates into the bottom of the ribs about mm out from the keel. I cut the rebate very carefully so the depth matched the thickness of the stringer to avoid too much fairing. The stringers were then glued and screwed in. Here is a drawing of what that looks like.

Attached s a close up of the bottom, a chine, and small wooden boats to build uk rib showing the fit. The side panel has been done in this pic. I attached a 19mm wide vertical strip to the keel. The small wooden boats to build uk planking butts up to this and the strip protrudes about 15mm.

The strip was glued and screwed from the inside through the keel. It sat on the flat middle part of the keel left untouched by the fairing. See the centre rib drawing in the fairing section I also put in two seat rails 15mm x 20mm by notching out a step on the inner side of each rib and putting a small lug on each side ofthe transom to support.

Small wooden boats to build uk also did a lot of sanding. You bhild fantastic access to all parts of the boat before it is planked so do as much as possible. The detail of the attachment of the keel to the stem and how that is shaped can be seen. This was fun. Again these were both made from the same piece timber to ensure uniform bending force. After matching the cardboard sides from the full size mock up to the sides of small wooden boats to build uk boat frame I traced them out onto the sheets of ply plus 10mm all around for small wooden boats to build uk. A join was required toward the stern and I used a rectangle small wooden boats to build uk ply on the inner side oF the join to provide support.

This rectangle was a neat fit between the small wooden boats to build uk and inwale and was placed and clamped at the same time the panels were going on. While wearing gloves, I ran a bead of glue across every surface on the frame and spread it with a small spatula.

Then using some help to hold the side pieces in place I clamped the ply to the outer-side of the chine ran some glue along the gunwale and clamped the gunwale and the plank to the inwale. I used a clamp every mm. To ensure the boat stayed symmetrical both sides were clamped in mm turns to ensure uniform bending and forces While woodenn held by the clamps I drew out the lines for screws and used a large compass I made to set the distance between each screw.

I then used 1 cordless drill fitted with a bit that did a pilot hole and a rebate in one and another with a Philips drive to put in the screw.

Conclusion:

A normal tandem boat has the sealed as well as lined carcassthat will support me keep LaveyCraft financially viable. In addition a kits could be the small dear as well as I am going?cheap.
