While it's fascinating to see all the wizardry that the CNC router can achieve, it's great to see so much traditional hand work being done too. I think your CNC parts and the stringer are matching so well because you are putting a lot of effort into accurate mark-outs and careful cutting / planing. A pleasure to watch, Dan.
Yes, this project will very much be a blend of the two, CNC is not always the answer and there will be lots of hand tool work in this project from now on 😁
I was wondering how you were going to handle spring back of the glue lams. Now we know. Thanks for the clear and concise explanations. Looking forward to seeing the frame come together.
So satisfying. One small comment. When hand planing an edge, I tend to use the knuckles of my left hand as a guide or fence on the sole of the plane. Using an electric planer one time I realised 'muscle memory' had me doing the same thing. It was only later I realised just how close my fingers were to the spinning blade! I noticed you did the same thing, take care.
Yes I did the same thing actually, I use my fingertips on the sole of the plane but as I don't use the electric plane very often I had to think twice about it. That would be a nasty accident to have!
Fascinating to watch progress on this major project Dan. I have just enjoyed watching your older video of Miss Isle as well as Temptress .... Have you an idea of when it will reach completion ? I have to say I am unlikely to ever reach the skill levels and workshop set up to be able to produce such craftworks. This past couple of years I have been dabbling with the design of a successor to my little runabout with the Honda outboard. Unsure now if it will get further than the drawing board :-( 🤕
Thanks! I am not sure on a completion date right now and I was always adamant that I didn't want to set that time pressure on this project. Also because I am trying to self fund this build I can only progress with it as and when I can afford to. That's not too bad right now but it will get difficult down the line when the expensive parts need buying.
Yes it looks concerning but notches will be bonded back together when the frames go in, plus the bottom planking will close the open end off again when that goes on 👍
That must be disheartening to do such long cuts in the stringer after all that laminating. Oh well you boat builders know how much material is needed for adequate strength so just a layman's opinion anyway.
Using the CAD designed jig must be a game changer to enable fast accurate marking out of everything? I too thought that the positions of the notches looked like they were transposed in the wrong place compared to the jig but you have already my question in that the jig was backward designed to allow for this. Clever stuff! Could you make jigs to hand router out most of the notches at each position rather than saw them out? Maybe the notches aren’t perpendicular? Great videos thanks.
Dan, that's a wonderful lot of machinery, your CAD design etc. that you have, and coupled with your obvious skill, a great result will ensue. While I'm in no way considering it, would an amateur be able to build this boat using more the likely gear that he would have: table saw, band saw, jointer, thicknesser, router table and free router, and other hand operated power tools, and a selection of hand tools? I'm really looking forward to its completion, and thanks for the detailed step-by step journey through which you're taking us.
Yes this boat is buildable by an amateur. It should be considered that despite ability this is a large project to take on and will take a long time, probably 3000 plus hours. Despite that though, once the CNC work is done I have designed these plans so that the boat can be built with most common workshop tools such as the ones you mention.

Beautiful work, this.
Thank you! Cheers!

Spectacular attention to detail. Well done. 🇨🇦
Loving watching a tradesmen in action.
Fascinating. Very interesting how you dealt with the spring-back. Really enjoy your series.
cant wait 4 putting the puzzel 2 gether... Nicly done!!!

always enjoying your videos, well-done mate
Glad to hear it, thank you.
Chugging along! 👍👍👍

Спасибо , удачи вам .
Wow. Not much left after those frame notches are cut in. Some of them are cut like 2/3 of the way through
I was thinking that too, but once you glue the frame in with thickened epoxy, it all becomes one piece.
Yes it looks concerning but notches will be bonded back together when the frames go in, plus the bottom planking will close the open end off again when that goes on 👍
I guess that side of the stringer will mostly see compression forces, while the un-cut outer portion will see mostly tension.
When you projected the lines for the notches from the jig does that not mean they are out of position lengthwise now ?
No, they way they are projected in here is the reverse of how they are projected onto the jig in CAD.
i'm always surprised how much meat gets notched out
There is a lot, it will all get filled back in though.
That must be disheartening to do such long cuts in the stringer after all that laminating. Oh well you boat builders know how much material is needed for adequate strength so just a layman's opinion anyway.
Yeah is does make your eyes water a little. I'll be glad to bond the frames back in there soon!
I hope you dont live and work close to any military installation. I would like to see her finished.
Lol I to want too see the finished product
Yes I would prefer to survive the full duration of this build as well 😆
