Grand Banks Dory by Duanelaker - FINISHED - Midwest Products - 1:12


Recommended Posts

Welcome to another addition of simple boats built by Dave.  I have gone down the rabbit hole of having more kits then years left on this earth.  I can only hope I get to all of them...I can not wait to retire!

 

so here is the box and insides for post #1...since it was an EBay find, someone had already taken all of the pieces out of the wood blanks and didn’t break them!  I was missing half of the stem so I had to scratch build a new one.  Practice!17FEE6ED-A236-4018-AA90-02001A0B9148.thumb.jpeg.27df9f251284bf2019ba3d1bfcc14e09.jpeg

So first I started by gluing the easy pieces together per the instruction manual.  I scribed the line on the bottom plank.

I glued the frames on the bottom plank one by one...after beveling per the instructions...

While waiting for frames to dry I made the wood bucket and oars...97EC3E51-1DDB-4854-A502-98982BA58E14.thumb.jpeg.bc54e38725e41019a9b50769c54dbaea.jpeg40E7C20B-D38A-4050-8D32-AF98F4611F36.thumb.jpeg.41bf26b10318da01745ac9123ff92ecf.jpegEEEFC11D-BB14-439F-8F19-9A589707329E.thumb.jpeg.59856cce688502be3557011fa4a5be08.jpeg

I almost screwed up my mast step, but luckily I caught it looking at the plans one last time!

i was supposed to trim it so there was 1/16” from the edge to the hole.177A3678-9A55-4195-B1B8-2186316A4A16.thumb.jpeg.fa73dfe26c4e92b5438692fac7ed8c63.jpeg0BD46E7B-3A16-4BF7-8A6D-0A35B90796DF.thumb.jpeg.36560100648c1eeb3191aecc6075b3c3.jpeg2955B6B4-DB6A-4D91-9A2A-A79E394C4536.thumb.jpeg.ccc23707889a2dc4416aec2ea35551aa.jpegB29D6864-376D-4F6F-9C10-44F6EAE47180.thumb.jpeg.6f4fcdec0ad4a4ffaf584d8a98e269b6.jpeg

So I then faired the edges...it went way easier then I ever would have thought!  0E0FF761-8E9F-46C6-A80A-E241C54AE40C.thumb.jpeg.85bee89dd0aae826383fdf06556d3fb7.jpegB0D31480-81D0-46C1-883C-95850835A8CF.thumb.jpeg.1ea86cfa65dd8b3e3cd2c2f7ec29b635.jpeg67875EDE-BD84-43C7-A625-45A001B81CCD.thumb.jpeg.46bfed4b022aee97b45645fa4181c121.jpeg987550F9-F0FD-4702-8A96-756669176F07.thumb.jpeg.ce1eb3fcbca2cedf362900e8f6dce5c8.jpeg

I trimmed the stem post? which came out nice...more fitting of the gunwales.

I decided to do the turn of the century colors, instead of modern day yacht tenders.... so dark green (black green) exterior of hull,  buff ( I did yellow ochre) interior hull,  i did a dark walnut gunwale which I think I am happy with and I chose gunstock for the thwarts...which might be a bit much...I’m undecided on the oars, and mast.
