scrubbyj427 Posted May 1, 2020 Author #91 Posted May 1, 2020 Thanks Dvm27. im actually building it in the engine room of a yacht. I have a decent little work space for the saw and the model, not much more. I don’t get to make tons of dust like the rest of you do!

scrubbyj427 Posted June 2, 2020 Author #92 Posted June 2, 2020 Ok I’m back on the wagon, she’s upside down and ready for lining off this week. The plank intersection at the counter has proved to be a difficult operation, I’m sure I’ll have it perfected by the end of this build.

scrubbyj427 Posted June 22, 2020 Author #93 Posted June 22, 2020 Got the first belt finished tonight, gave it a rough sanding with 120 to clean up all the glue seams and level it out. Tight seams are tough to make especially with all the curves but I’m ok with where it ended up, Lots of learning, still may go the copper plate route as I really like the finish on minerva. Chucks tic strips he provides are extremely helpful and fit my hull very well, I feel confident in lining off my next hull now. Going to start the same belt on the stbd side next week.

scrubbyj427 Posted August 23, 2020 Author #98 Posted August 23, 2020 Today was a milestone, I finally finished the stbd side planking. It’s still in its raw state and will require much sanding before I can treat it and get it looking tidy. Quite a learning curve from previous planking jobs but the results are infinitely better. Onto the port side and hopefully chapter 3 soon.

Matt D Posted August 23, 2020 #100 Posted August 23, 2020 That looks great. How tricky was the last strake? It looks like it was in the middle or near the top of the third belt. How did you decide on that spot? I’m asking because I’ll be getting there in a month or so and I can’t see it in my mind yet.

scrubbyj427 Posted August 23, 2020 Author #101 Posted August 23, 2020 Thanks for the comments guys. Matt, there was no real reasoning behind the last strake, I just planked the first two belts down and then started from the garboard up. I did plank one more down from the upper belts (2nd belt) to set up a smooth run for the last two strakes, I Then double checked my tick marks again to make sure nothing would look too funky with the last strake. I just had to spend a lot of time on the last strake, slowly sanding and test fitting several times until each piece fit perfectly, once the piece fit well I just charred the edges and glued it down, it actually went smoother than I thought, I was definitely nervous with that one. Now just a lot of sanding, it’s still very messy.

scrubbyj427 Posted September 18, 2020 Author #110 Posted September 18, 2020 Thanks Chuck and Rusty. i started a mad sanding storm today and managed to get one coat of WOP on her below the wales, I’ll let it dry overnight and sand again the spots I missed then go over with 400 grit before flipping her over and finishing the top sides, stem and stern post.

scrubbyj427 Posted September 20, 2020 Author #114 Posted September 20, 2020 Thank you Chuck and Mike I’m happy with how she turned out but I also learned a lot this first go around and will do a few things Differently the next time. Definitely going to take the next step and line off the hull next time. Got her flipped over today and built a stand using the ply from the bulkheads. Did some clean up on the top sides, fitted the figure head and added some poly to the top sides. Wrapping up the loose ends from chapters one and two and looking forward to starting chapter three very much.

jfhealey Posted September 21, 2020 #115 Posted September 21, 2020 That's looking superb JJ! I really admire your restraint leaving the sanding of the hull until all the planking has been done. I found the temptation to neaten things up a bit by sanding as you go irresistible even though it causes difficulties with the lie of adjacent planks. Keep up the good work Fred FrankWouts 1
scrubbyj427 Posted September 21, 2020 Author #116 Posted September 21, 2020 Thanks Fred, I actually couldn’t resist in a few places and it caused me some trouble, namely the stern post area, I got them too thin in some areas and I had to actually separate them from the former and space them out a pinch to prevent them from hiding too far behind the stern post. I found the temptation came from the uncertainly of how the planks would look and if they required replacing it would be much easier to do without planks surrounding it. just about wrapped up and ready to start chapter three, but it’s vacation time now! I feel good about my stopping point.

scrubbyj427 Posted October 11, 2020 Author #120 Posted October 11, 2020 Thanks Rusty, as with all vacations it was much too short and I need another one ASAP! So I’m back on the wagon and onto chapter 3, I got the transom placed, the upper counter planked, sanded and a Dry test run on all the windows. So far so good, very happy with the results so far. Hope to get the framing started in the next couple days. The windows required very minor adjustments to fall in line and will require very little manipulation when it comes time to glue them in place.
