Sea of Galilee boat by Wintergreen - FINISHED


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the "likes" and to Carl and John.

 

Yes, "if at first you don't succeed, try and try again..." planking is a skill which I'm only in the beginning of acquiring. Of course I could have selected a softer wood than oak for a start, like birch. But I wanted the durability of oak since the item will be on public display in our church. 

Note to self - "don't be hasty" as Merry puts it in Lord of the Rings. Planking cant be rushed. Well, well, it can only be better next time.

The over sized planks will also take a lot of sanding and then it will look much better.

 

now what? ... humm, where did I put those notes...

Happy modelling!

Håkan

A while ago I descided to add floors to the hull. Not that it will be visible when on display filled with 3-4cm of sand. But the again, how many builders here on MSW add stuff that will be forever out of sight?

 

The floor boards are 5 mm thick and varying width.

 

I use contact cement to stick to the brown bottom and ordinary white glue on the edges.

Hi, an update again.

 

Work is progressing rather good now. 

To show that I care for my health since contact cement smells heavily.

I mounted the big sucker (I know, I know, it is called something like dust extractor, not as fun though) on the edge of my work area.

 

The second picture shows the floor glued in place. A bit damp in the picture after wiping off dust.

Next up will be "frames", or more like "L"-shaped side supports.

 

To be continued...

Thanks for the "likes" and comments.

 

Alan, regarding my dust extraction system. The motor unit sits in the adjacent room, aka "garage". From there the outlet is led to the gardening tools store. That area is not insulated and well ventilated thanks to crappy door and walls.

Happy modelling!

Work continued with the internal supports.

First I used card to make a template for each support.

 

Then rough cut the blanks on the band saw.

Next was a grand premiere for my disk sander...it even have dust extraction...

post-6-0-15014800-1458242482_thumb.jpg

 

When the mating faces were decent, again off to the band saw to cut the shape.

And continued shaping.

After that focus turned to the central candle holder. I had an idea and needed some lumber to fulfill my need.

The oak piece is actually the old samson post from the same boat as the other oak I've used...

post-6-0-62861000-1458242496_thumb.jpg

 

After some trial and horror (a couple of close calls due to the porosity of the old oak) it looks like this.

It is not yet glued in place. The square base needs some attention even though it will be hidden under sand.

Well Thank you Carl :-)

 

The light and the image resolution works in my favor to hide all dents, gaps and other short-comings of the build.

Next will be to fashion the square base and finally add some coating. I am thinking of matt varnish to enhance the wood structure.

Happy modelling!

Håkan

So, the "boat" is finished. However, I wont publish any overall pics until I have the surrounding items in place.

The boat will have a dedicated table to sit on. The table will match the other items at the podium.

It also needs a small box to have the candles in. The first one I put together were far to chunky in appearance to please my eye.

The finish is a clear lacquer, matte or satin. This to protect the wood from the anticipated far too many greasy fingerprints...

The candle-ring is just some plain copper that I went over with a ball point hammer. 

 

Nothing on this boat is "perfect" in the meaning of alignment, appearance, finish, wood texture (for instance, see the crack on the candle holder...). Why? Well, my thought is that we, as persons, are far from "perfect". We all have our small dents, cracks, soft spots and so on. And the boat reflects all that... (Rev 21:5)

Nuf said.

  • 4 weeks later...

So, time to conclude this thread...boat and table in place finally!

 

It took some takes to get a close match on the color. First I had matched it as good as possible with these small samples you can get from the painters. That was far off when it came to reality. So four or five tries later I was very pleased with the result. AS you can see from the candle it has been in use a couple of weeks (they were so so eager to get it that they didnt care about the table not being ready :P  )

Beautiful work, Håkan.  I can see why they didn't want to wait on the table.

Thank you Carl and Patrick!

 

Next build? 

I will go small, clinker and 19th century Swedish west coast...

 

In Swedish they are called "kåg" which stems from Dutch  "kaag" and translates to English "cog". Google will give you wiki results and images.

Happy modelling!

Håkan

Jan, well the larger table was the source of inspiration for the smaller one that I made for the boat.

They also asked me to build a communion table in the same style. The large table was initially purposed for this but was made static with the water fountain at rear left corner. 

So, I will make them a table, that fits under the larger one, for them to use in the services.

Happy modelling!

Håkan
