FriedClams Posted June 26, 2020 #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 #9 Posted July 1, 2020 Great videos, Kevin, and I love the choice of subject.

Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #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

Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #13 Posted July 9, 2020 Here is the new keel and stem which is 2” longer or 21” which at 3/4” :1ft. Is 28 feet. Mike Zoll, GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 3
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #14 Posted July 9, 2020 We tapered the stem with the top wider than the base which sits on the keel or shell. mtaylor 1
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #15 Posted July 9, 2020 The angle or the stem was increased to 50 degrees mtaylor 1
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #16 Posted July 9, 2020 We used spacers to flatten the floor boards 1&2 16 feet from the stern. mtaylor and GrandpaPhil 2
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #17 Posted July 9, 2020 We were also careful to get the first plank to give a fatter curve. GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 2
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #18 Posted July 9, 2020 At the stern the top of the keel or shell rose 1” above the floor. mtaylor 1
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #19 Posted July 9, 2020 As a result we had to recess the 2” stern so that it sat flat on the floor boards mtaylor and GrandpaPhil 2
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #20 Posted July 9, 2020 The outer edge of the 1st plank was also recessed at a 45 degree angle to match the 2 nd plank GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and Boxbuilds 3
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #21 Posted July 9, 2020 The recess started 3-4ft from the stern mtaylor and GrandpaPhil 2
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #22 Posted July 9, 2020 Recess at the stem at the bow started about 2-3feet from the stem GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 2
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #23 Posted July 9, 2020 Ready to install the second plank mtaylor, GrandpaPhil and FriedClams 3
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #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 mtaylor, FriedClams and GrandpaPhil 3
Kevin Kenny Posted July 9, 2020 Author #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. Boxbuilds, mtaylor and GrandpaPhil 3
