Just about to start splining my 34’ Griffin. I only wish I could turn it over too! Removing the already recaulked material which has been flood damaged with a 4.5mm circular saw blade. Then spline the 22 planks each side! You are definitely motivating me somewhat! Enjoying the series, cheers! 😀
I’ve done this on bigger boats, nice that you could turn it over. Also nice to see someone do it like I would. We are much more into dust collecting tools or at least put a big fan blowing everything away from you. You could v grove the planks above the waterline for a nice look. 👍
Hi Phil, thank you once again for a fantastic video jabiru is coming along way. I was wondering how are you would fill those caps up but you’ve done a fantastic job lot of hard work, but I think it’s well worth it to restore a wonderful boat. heaps for history for Australia. Cliff from Logan City Queensland, Australia
Hello Phil, Episode #16 popped up & I went straight back to Episode #1A, because of the beautiful lines of Jabiru. I shall enjoy catching up over the next few hours. Thanks for posting.
@@revivingjabiru7588 Hello Phil, Now up to date. Thoroughly enjoyed the last few hours. As I wrote earlier, it was the lines of Jabiru that caught my attention, because IIRC, in 2006, Peter Sewell's canoe stern "Whio" came to the attention of the Boat Design forums & solicited much discussion. Here's a link to a video about the construction of "Whio" from last year. th-cam.com/video/nPaPwQ89j7s/w-d-xo.html Best wishes, Perry
Great work, Phil. I'd just like to issue a bit of a PSA for anybody who's restoring a wooden boat and doesn't intend to spline the seams and fiberglass sheath the hull. DO NOT use the method/ tools shown to remove the caulking. It will destroy the plank edges. Use a reefing hook. It takes a lot longer, but it ensures that you'll be able to properly recaulk the seams.
Wonderful job Phil, she's got beautiful lines mate, she's going to be a gorgeous boat when she's finished.....are they ever finished haha. Take care, stay safe. Seeya Rob
Thanks for a lovely video. If I may be so bold, though: Here in Norway many old wooden boats were glassed with epoxy on the exterior of the hull, but it has gone out of fashion because it was found that it accelerated rot. I have myself built a 17' wooden boat with glass/epoxy on the wood, but on both interior and exterior so that it was sealed. Just sayin.
Yes. I can see the point you are making and the use of penetrating epoxy on the inside would work but only if all surface could reached and also clean enough to accept the resin. My outlook and aim is to keep all water from contaminating the inside with everything sealed and with covers on. I hope that idea works.
Splining is not good unless you have dry wood with a very low coefficient of expansion and contraction. If that boat goes in and out of the water a lot the seams well open up over time. Use G-flex epoxy for any hope of a long lasting joint. Just saying. I’m currently fixing a boat made that way. Also makes it terrible to repair in the future. Wouldn’t suggest this type of construction except on a new boat that would be glassed. But really just a bad way to seal a hull. Corking is really the best for long term service and maintenance.
It is very dry, having been out of the water for 10 years or more. Glassing it is to ensure it stays dry and it will be permanently on a mooring once it goes back into the water.
Glass the inside as well. Otherwise the planks will expand and crack the fiberglass. I've seen it happen. Look up the boat Bimini, she had glass put over the planks and the planks swelled up and the glass cracked at every seam.
Cheers Phil she's coming along a treat! - I love the way you do things without making a big 'song & dance' about it :) Out of curiosity what timber did you use for the splines? Oh and I'm Simon by the way - i did read your comment awhile ago and take on board what you said about me not saying my name - Winter is coming to an end here and so i'll be getting back on with Susanna very soon - floating her down to the new yard. Anyway Thanks again Phil, as i said, she's looking great and thanks for another video! All the best...
Hi Simon, I used pine offcuts from another job. Nice and soft as well as free!! I'm looking forward to see how you approach sealing Sussana for the trip down the river.
Greetings from Brazil. Do you know anything about the history of the boat ? I’m particularly curious that Jabiru is an indian name that represents a brazilian bird called Jaburu.
Yes, there is also a bird called a Jabiru in northern Australia. If you look at the first episode of this series you will see there is a carved figurehead on the stem just below the bow roller. I think that was the last owners interpretation of a Jabiru. I'm going to clean it up and keep it on the stem when the boat is finished. I haven't been able to find out much history about the boat or why it was named Jabiru. All the I have found out is contained in the first few episodes.
Thank you for sharing the splining process. What kind of wood is the spline made from? I can imagine it being a soft wood. Is the spline tapered at a slight angle and act like a wedge between the planks? Appreciate if you could elaborate. Cheers!
I used pine offcuts from another job (free). I cut them with a very slight taper. They were a little oversized so they could be wedged in place with a hammer. They were not meant to be a really tight fit but just good enough to glue in place and fill the gaps. Cheers, Phil
Episode #6 covers drawing the hull shape and #21 will show a drawing of the cabin, but don't laugh too loud when you see it. There is not anything on paper in the sense of formal drawings and there may never be.
Hi Phil, Just added a comment on ep16 If you stil ahve the cut off for the Bow Thruster I would be interested. What diameter is it and is it for sale ? cheers Jim
Puzzled as to why you blow off dust rather than vacuum. Just lands on everything else everywhere. Also puzzled why you use a disk sander rather than a belt sander for levelling and fairing.
The sanding already deposits dust everywhere and blowing it off is quicker than the vacuum. The disk sander was used to remove the sticky coating of tar. There is no attempt to fair anything, it just removes the rubbish.
Good question. I feel the bond between clean wood and untickened epoxy with glass will be better than filler to wood. I know the filler has epoxy as well but that's just how I feel. The concave section I filled with wood is the only one, All the rest of the dips and hollows will be fared out with filler on top of glass. I just don't want there to be a chance of the sheathing coming away from the hull.
Hi Phil, I’m so impressed how the hull come up I had to watch it again thank you once again. And thank you for saving this wonderful boat Jabiru
You are very welcome
Splining is a great way to do the job.
Great work. Really inspiring. As a young boy I learned a lot from my Grandfather, mostly without realising it.
Good work ❣️⛵ a wooden boat
Christ Phil that was a mammoth amount of work you did in this episode, what a change in the hull well done sir!

Thank you and best wishes for the Griffin 34.
Phill, what glass did you use for the sheathing? Did a splendid job of it by the way! 😄👍
Actually just found it on the previous episode, 600 gram! 😀
Very enjoyable to watch as a professional man to do work like this - thank You for sharing this to us.
i like the idea of splining the old corking lines then fibre glassing the hull
Thanks to all family members ❣️❣️❣️❣️ sport
It’s a joy watching your videos and the progress, thank you
Binge watched all the episodes ….can’t wait for the next installment
Well done Phil love your progress videos and the Jabiru shes a beautiful hull cant wait to see how she turns out.
She is looking well. Congratulations on your progress. I can't wait to see the next video.
Good to see you back, Phil. Nice progress.😊
Only averaging about 8 hours per week on the boat, so it will alway be slow to see new videos.
I’ve done this on bigger boats, nice that you could turn it over. Also nice to see someone do it like I would. We are much more into dust collecting tools or at least put a big fan blowing everything away from you. You could v grove the planks above the waterline for a nice look. 👍

Yes. If the aim was to paint over the timber, a lot more care would have to be taken.

Yes. I agree. She will look great on the water.

Ingenuity plus
She reminds me of a Newfoundland trap skiff.

Don’t discount the possibility that he might just want to spend time with grandad.😂
Yes. That is part of it.

I wonder if there will be any old boats in the future still left in their authentic unfiberglassed condition.
Mostly the sunken ones.

Lot of work. As it was going to be glassed over why not just use a balloon sanding filler and fair that in?

Yes, and soon I hope.
