Koopyetz Posted September 3, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2014 As a transition from POB to POF I've selected Emma C Berry. Photo shows August progress. String to run at centerline during frame lofting. Level at front used to verify level of building board, the table building board sits on during work and for lofting of frames . coxswain, egkb, yvesvidal and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koopyetz Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I take if the tape is for identification? David B David Yes. Keeping everything organized. Through my viewing of other member entries I adapt aspects of what has worked for them. Edited September 3, 2014 by Koopyetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koopyetz Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted September 12, 2014 I would like some help with rabbet. Would forum members please post photos of tools they use for this task. Also, is this task done before lofting of frames. Thank you. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippwj Posted September 12, 2014 Share #8 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Rick - Others can provide better examples of tools for carving the rabbet - I used a small v-blade that worked adequately, though not ideal. You definitely would be better off on this build by carving the rabbet prior to installing frames - the rabbet is pretty much aligned with the base of the frames, and for some sections will be very difficult to carve with the frame in place. Carefully measuring (and double checking) the edges before beginning carving will also aid in aligning frames when you install them.

Maury S Posted September 12, 2014 Share #10 Posted September 12, 2014 Emma's a great way to transition to POF. Rabbet is cut before frames are attached while you can work on it laying flat. Very sharp chisels or xacto knives. Very light cuts repeatedly. The angle of the rabbet changes so take your time. Maury trippwj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koopyetz Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted September 12, 2014 My sketch shows that the angle of the rabbet changes as Maurys mentioned ( I also noticed rabbet cut information on drawings) . As this is the case , since the frames are not in place, do I need to make paper templates of frames to rest along keel to help verify angle of rabbet cut that will receive plank? Thank you all for your input. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koopyetz Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted September 18, 2014 Having just finished cleaning up and organizing frames I'm currently working on cutting rabbet . As part of this work I have glued two frames and dry fit them in place . The are helping me visualize how the rabbet needs to be cut. Interesting how fragile these frames seem as they now stand but the laying on of timber such as beams and planking will make for a sturdy craft.
