pete48 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share #31 Posted January 18, 2016 Thank You, Patrick, She's right on the money, I could not be more pleased, this boat sure is a lot of fun to build, The Herreshoff Mfg. method to build this boat makes a lot of sense and is straightforward Thank You, Jack, Yes, I am familiar with the Herreshoff Ice Yacht, I have the copy of Wooden Boat laying around here somewhere with an article on it. That is Awesome that you were able to see one ( pretty amazing stuff ) Best Regards, Pete Jack12477, popeye the sailor, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jond Posted January 18, 2016 Share #32 Posted January 18, 2016 Pete thanks for showing this. I am most interested in the method to size the forms to allow full ribs before planking. I look forward to following along. I also love your large collection of photos that show up on your logs. cheers Omega1234, michael mott, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote current build Beam Trawler Harvard 1926 Lightships of Boothbay.

pete48 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share #34 Posted January 20, 2016 Today, I started out by lining off the next plank ( #3) I then placed it in rubbing alcohol ( for about an hour ) I then realised that I was about 1/4" to short at the transom. ( I unfortunately, do not own a board stretcher ) Frustrating, so I made new one's ( I only make and install one plank at a time, so any adjustments can be made on the following plank ) at this point I decided to pull out the Herreshoff 12 1/2 work that I started right after Christmas. ( while I waited for the planks to soak ) In my excitement to finally have the plans for what is to me the Holy Grail of Sailboats, I made some mistakes, I laid out the frames incorrectly and used the wrong thickness of wood. ( 22 frames ) I realised that I could build it as a 1 off so I grabbed a base board laid it out and started putting it together ( while I wait for the planks to soak ) I did get plank #4 laid out, soaked and installed. Next will be to continue the planking and decide whether or not to turn the Herreshoff 1 off into a build log. That being said I would not be able to build her in the same method that I am using for this build ( Herreshoff Mfg. method ) the jury is still out Here are the results . The last shot is of the Herreshoff 12 1/2 ( no frames glued in yet ) captainbob, Engelmann, Omega1234 and 5 others 8 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete48 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share #40 Posted January 20, 2016 Thank you, Burroak, I appreciate it Hey Patrick, don't feel so bad, Years ago, there was an apprentice carpenter who was placed on my crew and I sent him to my truck to get the Board Stretcher, after a while he came back and said that he could not find it. The superintendent got in on it and for a few days he was stumped, we later sent him for a ladder permit ( lol ) Hi Deon, Thank you for the compliment. this one will be able to be sailed. ( right now its about 30 degrees F with about a foot of snow on the ground ) So when it warms up, we can go sailing Best Regards, Pete Engelmann, avsjerome2003, flying_dutchman2 and 4 others 7 Quote "may your sails be full of wind and the sun on your back" Current Builds : Future Builds : N.G Herreshoff 12 1/2 Scratch Build 3/4" = 1' - 0" Scale Completed Builds : Volvo 65 Farr Yacht Design Herreshoff Alerion Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 Volvo Open 70 Member : The Herreshoff Registry Montgomery Sailboat Owners Group Peter Kunst Sailboat Models http://www.herreshoffregistry.org/ http://www.msog.org/ http://www.facebook.com/Peter-Kunst-Sailboat-Models-1524464774524480/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hull was sanded up to 400 grit sandpaper. A final fairing of the Hull will be done once the Keel and deadwood have been installed. Next will be to remove the Hull from the building jig, Bend in the rest of the ribs, make and install the bulkheads at station 7 and 19.

pete48 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share #55 Posted January 24, 2016 Last night, before I went to Bed I decided that I would stain the Transom and give her a generous coat of Varnish. When I awoke this morning, I started by cutting 1/8" X 1/16" X 6" strips of basswood for the remainder of the ribs. I then soaked them in rubbing alcohol, I then removed the Hull from the building jig, It was almost too easy ( I thought it might get stuck somewhere ) She popped right off. I then used the jig to bend the frames ( in the same manner as the beginning of the build ) I then glued in the ribs and started on the Bulkheads. Next will be to make and install the Sheer clamps.
