Boatbuilding - Lining-out for Planking (EP78)

[@SampsonBoatCo]

Thanks for all of your comments! Many people have asked "why not use metric"? Well, all the original dimensions and drawings are in imperial, the boat was built in imperial, and the US uses imperial for lumber and so on. Imperial is no more difficult than metric if you are used to it. In fact, I think both measurement systems have pros and cons, and unique useful applications. For example, Imperial is a lot easier to estimate if you don't have a tape measure, because each unit is based on a part of the body (width of thumb = inch, foot = foot, stride = yard, etc). I use both every day. Use of masks here is not a political statement. Apart from anything else, if one of my team contracts covid there would be no boatbuilding or videos for some time. We are taking a simple precaution based on the information and materials available to us.

[@pma7675]

Canada adopted the metric system 50 years ago and its easy to use both systems interchangeably given ties to the US & UK. It's like being bilingual :)

[@michaelpedersen1672]

I am in Sequim this week. What is your location, I would like to come by and see the ship. I have watched every video you have posted. If you can let me know.

[@jackdarcy6294]

How could masks be a political statement? Anyway great video, I learned a ton. It would be neat if you uploaded the drawings for Tally Ho, because it would be fun to 3D print her.

[@michaelhannah5376]

Mask are simple plain common sense and consideration to your fellow man, it is only political because some a**eh**e have made it so. There have been some amusing ( and expensive ) fails due to imperial and metric units. NASA planted a probe on Mars because the flight computer was programmed in imperial units and the radio altimeter was feeding it data in metric . Shut off the engine too early.

[@sombrenouille9492]

I am really fond of Pete and always smile at his issues with the camera and having to explain his work - which he does nicely and most eloquently, by the way. He seems to be a great shipwright and you get the impression that communication towards the youtube masses is a bit of a hindrance in his passion for boatbuilding. I like that. Keep it up, Pete!

Did you hear of the show 'The boat that guy built'? That probably comes closest in spirit, although it is far shorter (not really about boatbuilding, but craftsmanship and history). I say this, because the episodes are getting uploaded on Guys KZbin channel, and are well worth a watch.

[@ibTeeMac]

"There are no 1/32 nds in boat building" I have no interest in building a boat for myself but each episode captivates me , forcing me to think deeper and Leo's explanations of each process are awesome. 15-30 hrs per episode on top of building a boat and having time to eat Is an amazing feat in itself. Remember A small (or larger donation) is a small price for a captivating, engaging video. Thnx Leo for the best Saturday morning video available anywhere.

[@challengecompleted55]

These episodes are like Saturday morning cartoons for adults!

[@stevenholton438]

Indeed! Indeed! How captivating is this!?? I wonder if everyone coughed up how many more could be hired to speed up the process?!

Thanks Leo and Crew!

[@nelderkin564]

My brother apprenticed as a boatbuilder, and while no 1/32 nds may have been a thing in the building, when it came to fit out, hand cutting to 1/32 nd or better was the expected norm

[@AndersJackson]

@@nelderkin564 Hm, that is about 0.8 mm, that is about 1 mm precision, about the breaths of a what a line with a pen are. That is not that much. But again, wood are a living material, and it will change size with the weather, so it is probably good enough.

As a suggestion, you may want to add some "vents" to the top and bottom of the ship-saw cover. Humidity could build up enough to cause rust. A little bit of airflow is a good thing. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VIDEOS!!!

[@avonneave2131]

The complexity is incredibly involved (evolved), just when we were beginning to think how rapidly it would develop imagining as if simply rolling out a carpet. Seeing Pete handling those tools is to observe the work of a Master Shipwright,very impressive. G,day to all the new crew. I'm surprised Leo that any number of students in the study of documentary making and or film making haven't already reached out to lend a hand, the opportunity and experience is priceless,not to mention a major privelage,maybe you could put out a couple of feelers and see if you don't stimulate some interest. Isn't being involved as a labour assistant,for me would be one of those chapters in life that gives us a greater sense of fulfillment and meaning multiplied by the lifelong bonds of friendship. The project is becoming increasingly exciting. Nice to see a little bit of the Australian presence being able to contribute also. G,day to the Pooch,Poncho and the poultry from me and to ye all.

[@108hindu]

My dad was a self employed wooden boat boat builder in the 50’s and 60’s. The local plywood mill here in Tacoma Wa. made plywood sheets in custom lengths for him. I remember him bringing home sheets of plywood up to 24 feet long. In the 60’s getting that and other wood products became harder and he moved on to another line of work. I remember him soaking some of the oak pieces in water for a month or more. He would toss them in a surface water drainage ditch. He did that for the ones that needed to make a tight bend at the bow. After growing up around a boat shop I find your videos addictive. Your Tally Ho is much bigger and much more complex than what he did. You are doing fine work.

I imagine Alix and Steve from Acorn to Arabella keep tabs on Tally Ho's progress and right now they are saying "that's how we should have done it" Their planking has been a tortuous affair mainly due to bad lining-out. They are a pair of resourceful guys, for whom I have the utmost respect and they will prevail. However wooden boat building has hundreds of years of evolution and tradition behind it. There are some aspects of a build where this accumulation of knowledge is essential and you need to seek out the right people to help.

I understand and appreciate everything you say about lining-out (in, up, down)..., my take is: after taking the total lengths of each frame member and establishing a gentle line at a minimum of two locations on the totality of the hull; the lower will minimize twist, curvature and strake dimensional deviation especially in consideration of a (clinker-built ship) second planking layer lands (overlap, when applicable) the upper line will maximize aesthetic line appeal in relations from the waterline to plank-sheer. Considerations might be ease of application (minimize cutting) graduated dimensions to fill most effectively and efficiently maximizing structural integrity and overlap lands. Wow, what a work of art..., she is beautiful. Thanks for allowing me to follow along. I wish i could do more. Happy Days! Stay safe...

Even for those of us who won't line out a boat, understanding the process is interesting, thanks!

While watching this series, mainly for the woodworking involved, I keep wondering how in the heck this was accompolished 200 or 300 or more years ago. Mind boggling.

20 or so shipwrights per boat and a bunch of apprentices.

Ping pong table brought back happy memories of the antique restoration shop in Cambridge MA where, on Friday afternoons we'd knock off about 2 PM and clear out the finishing room, set up the table, and all be pingpong heroes -- Interesting work, but also a bit of a grind. Very good for crew moral.
