This is truly a boat in miniature. I deduce that the brass template in the third photo is a jig for laying out the nibbed joints of the margin plank. Each angle appears to be slightly different. Brilliant!

[BANYAN]

Exceptional skills with such clean results.  I especially like your scarf template; a great idea.

 

cheers

Scarph joint template I would have said but could be wrong

The guy must have unlimited access to brass ...

Hello. I take the common "Z" shape interface size to make the template, facilitates the accurate localization before the processing. Angle can be arbitrarily changed, the end line can be arbitrarily extended.

Perfection ! Just a big thumbs up for this high level work ! Very great art.

[wefalck]

This gantry drill that can cover the whole of the building slip is a very good idea. At some stage I should look into this ...

What else can one do, but hit the 'like' button ...

 

Well, I still have a question: you seem to alternate between two different building rigs, why ?

I pressed the « like » button only in your last post, but it’s just laziness from my part, because all your posts deserve the « like »  ... Impressive woodworking and metalsmith talent ! I am in awe !

Absolutely love everything you have done so far. Keep it coming !

Usually the nibbed waterway is flush with the deck planking. Is this not so on Gemma?

[Tony Hunt]

If it wasn't for the missing deck I would happily go to sea in this boat.

So you can't just like it and not have any problems. Ha Ha! It works like this: the greatest use of the metal platform is to be able to adjust the angle of the hull at any time, such as in the laying of slats, while the wooden platform is relatively fixed, a stable, continuous support operation. Besides, the metal table is big and heavy, and the space in the house is very limited. My tools are scattered in different rooms, sometimes for convenience.

Thank you for your attention. Actually, I'm just as confused as you are. But GEMA's drawing was in many ways incoherent, my English was poor, and I didn't have much information to use, so I had to refer to the winner's work, and in order to do that, it took me a lot more time to work out the details. I don't think it's going to affect the drainage down there, because the deck is very curved.

That would be very unsafe. Because there's no hermetic sealing  ...

Looking at your planking I don't think it would need caulking. I bet it wouldn't leak a drop!

Superb craftsmanship. Will this model be used for teaching students about boats, or will it be displayed in a museum?

The House is full of tools. There's no room for models here. Usually, I sell it when I'm done. I just love the challenging process of modeling, and I love making special tools.
