Good Morning

 

Today I'll show you how I made "The Pedrero"

 

First.... I made it in wood.  This is going to work to form the mold

Second....... I use Clay to make the first half

Third........  I use high temperature Silicone..... The firs half is ready.

I use the first half to replace the clay and repeat the process to make the second half.  With a really sharp knife I do the little channels to evacuate the air at the time of the foundry.

As demolding agent I use a common powder.

Hello Helmut

 

that must have been a difficult decision to rebuild, but looking good now. "Long" is no exaggeration, that's a very slim hull form.

 

I have a couple of questions on the boats: what they were used for; & what is the hull the length - it appears to be around 11m from the drawing...?

 

thanks

 

Mark

I just realized your question. My mistake. 
 

they were used for so many porpoises. 
1. they were the longboats of big/line ships 

2. were used to do many maneuvers with anchors, crew transportation and so

3.  When they were decorated and adapted like a “luxury” boat,  they were called Falúa and were used like a private transportation boat for high rank officers or royal family 

 

yes the length of this boat was like 11-12 mts

 

regards
