Carving a solid half-hull model of a 2.4mR sailboat

[@runristaren]

Thank you for this. I've planned to make a half model of my boat for years - I think your video will finally get me started!

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

My mission is complete then!

Nice ‘retired apron’ collection 🎉 Half hulls nicely done❤

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Yes! Thank you!

It’s always so satisfying to see wood shavings fly.

Hey Grant, thanks for peeking out from under that rock.

Hi The model looks and the technique used is ideal - true & best wood working BUT when are going to see the actual real boat in action on the Victoria waters ?

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

That’s the very question I keep asking the owner. I haven’t gotten a firm answer.

Swapping to the large chisel made me jump. I feared you had whittled away all the wood, now the model was half the size. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😏

keep up the good work...

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Thanks, will do!

Hear me out Mark, this would be a perfect time to make a "half dog" model for your channel. Obviously not the same as a real shop dog, but the first step in my theory that you need a resident shop dog in your videos. You already know my dog species choice.

Always thinking outside the box Bob. It’s a sound idea. Not sure how to loft an intestinal tract however. May need to employ some AI on that bit. Or a 3D printer.

How can I find a drawing?

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

For this specific design you would have to purchase plans but you might find some lines drawings if you search for “2.4 metre class” or “mini 12 class”. At least a good enough image from which to make a model. But this method could be applied to any hull design. I’ve used it for round and chine hull shapes alike.
