Loved this episode and previous. Clearly illustrated a process for achieving scarf joint . . . including potential challenges.

Six decades of accumulating skills and I still enjoy learning. Should I ever have the need to scarf plywood I think I have a recipe for success thanx to your example. Nice work. I chuckled at the birthdays around Christmas remark. Here on the upper side of the planet it is the opposite months. Long winter nights ya know. 🤣🙃

Wish someone had told me about using a fine tooth metal in plywood years ago. That cut was beautiful.

Loving the build mate! Looking forward to you doing the rigging ! Hoping you've got some nifty tricks up your sleeve

I'm sure the comments section will light up then. Sailors love talking rigging even more that anchor theory.

Troy! When cutting ply across the grain try scoring along the line with a Stanley or craft knife. It only cuts the top veneer but leaves a perfect cut. Should you need two perfect edges after cutting simply score a parallel line with the knife along a straight-edge, a saw's blade width apart, then jig-saw between them.

Both very useful tips, Thank you. I should have occasion to pass them on pretty soon

@@FreeRangeLiving p.s. Ever considered using a plane on your scarf joints? Just asking as that's my preferred method. Great work, enjoying it tons as I have from free range sailing ep1.

@@DavidSmith-tu6jd I just figured it would be easier to get a good result with the router over a large area. On short scarfs, I'm going to give it a go.

Actually I feel bad that I didn't tell you about using the metal cutting blade for plywood in the beginning. An old cabinet maker taught me that lesson many years ago and I've used that technique for so long that I just take it for granted that everyone knows about it. Fortunately someone else was on the ball and shared that nice tip with you. We learn as we go but sometimes a tip or so from someone who has already experienced it can save a lot of time or work. The project is coming along nicely and I can hardly wait til you start with the assembly phase of the build. Of course once you reach that stage I'll be looking forward to the test sail stage. 🙂

When we were making sailing videos, Pascale would always bug me to explain what I was doing. I thought it was silly, as everyone would know that stuff. As it turned out, she was right and they didn't!

@richardp4544 5 ай бұрын

It's amazing how so many people don't know as much as we think they know. As far as the sailing videos go when you stop to think about it there aren't as many sailors out there as we might think so every move that you and Pascale made on the boat, or off the boat for that matter, was something new for them. I have in the past referred would be and novice sailors that have asked me, because I'm still a member of a yacht club, for advice to your channel, partly because I don't have the time to teach them all that they want to learn, but mostly because your videos contain a wealth of knowledge that the two of you thoughtfully chose to share with everyone interested in watching them. Not only are your videos entertaining, they are also educational. Thank you on their behalf and mine.

Great stuff going on on your channel another way to cuy ply is to cut 1-3 mm away from your line run a batten along your line use your router you love to use with a flush trim bit with bering top or btm bit and use the baton as the guide on the bering this works realy well when doing planks in boats as well . A nother way to scarf is to use a grinder to shape the scarf keeping your ply lanonat lines strate and paralel to each other and finish with a hand plane to take out any high spots also having a small hollow in the center of the scarf alows for a bit more thickend epoxy in the joint and alows the edgers to sit a bit better flush to each other . Hope some of this helps you along the way i use these methreds in my day to day wooden boat repairs at work

I sometimes look in awe at the mess my router makes- I can only imagine what a Flap disc on my largest grinder is capable of! 😆

As a Chippy I can tell you how I would do it but it wouldn't be much different. Thanks for sharing.

When using epoxy in cold conditions we heat resin in a hot water bath before mixing with hardener

@the-naked-sailor 5 ай бұрын

.... drying is the issue, not application.

@TheBeaker59 5 ай бұрын

Coming along nicely, yes had success in the past with finer teeth blades also scoring along line with craft knife and then cutting just outside line. A bit of breakout disappears though behind fillets so not end of world. You can get winter hardener but generally I use summer all year and just get more patient as I don't want to risk batches cooking off.

@FreeRangeLiving 5 ай бұрын

Yes, where future fillets are going to go is foremost in my mind when it comes to finishing!
