FriedClams Posted June 26, 2020 Share #7 Posted June 26, 2020 Very interesting boat Kevin. The bottom photo in your last post shows how large it really is - surprisingly so. I like the anchor, it is unique and ingenious. This is a nice open boat model celebrating your local fishing heritage. Your doing a great job and I look forward to seeing the model in her final paint.

ccoyle Posted July 1, 2020 Share #9 Posted July 1, 2020 Great videos, Kevin, and I love the choice of subject. Indigenous smallcraft represent an inexhaustible supply of modeling projects!

Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share #10 Posted July 9, 2020 Today i start on the finial model, actually model number 4 of the same build. Scratch building a model from a book with limited access to actual measurements and building methods not fully described is bound to causes mistakes. Since the objective of this build was to recreate the fishing boat exactly as it was built I have decided to do it one last time. The book gave detailed materials needed to build a 25 ft pirogue yet the photographs in the book show a 28 ft boat being built. I only discovered this when speaking to Richard Hubbard very late in the build. This explains why we ended up with less ribs than saw in the photographs. So we have prepared a new keel “shell”and stem. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share #24 Posted July 9, 2020 Putting on plank 2 I had to increase the angle at the bow as well as taper the bow cut . Once that fit i shaved the inside edge at the stern to get it to fit the taper I had previously cut on the outside edge of plank 1, then installed two braces to again flatten the bottom planks FriedClams, GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share #25 Posted July 9, 2020 Plank 2 is now installed and has successfully included all the items identified as errors in the completed pirogue. Looking at the two boats together it is easy to see the difference. The flooring is so much flatter making lots of room for holding nets. mtaylor, Boxbuilds and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
