International 2.4mR Sailboat Project - Episode 23 - The skeg

[@quentinwoods8811]

Thanks Mark Great build. Wasn’t aware of this class either. Was searching for coaming builds and now subscribed and going back through your vids. I’ve been a piano tuner for close to forty years and in recent years wished I’d found my interest in boats sooner… anyhow, can relate so well to your method and pace. Now I’ve checked out 2.4R class …keen to see the keel, rigging and all come together. Beautiful detail and careful thought process’s. Cheers from eastern Aus’

So enjoyable to watch. I remember sitting and watching an old boat builder make and fair some centreboards for us as kids. We won a nationals with the love he put into that boat. It’s was his boat even though we owned and paid for it. Can’t wait for the next step.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

I can certainly relate to that.

[@markschuman3615]

Great looking build THANKS for sharing this project Mark 👍

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Most welcome Mark.

[@ApexWoodworks]

Great tips you're sharing with us, Mark. Thanks ever so much.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

You are most welcome Marty.

[@bertrandpotvin]

Great! I owe you a beer. Or a few. Keep up the great work please. Just keep on doing what you're doing so well.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Will do Bertrand.

[@lunkydog]

That was a very satisfying part to see made and installed.👍

[@svlamancha9877]

Neat looking skeg. Looking forward to seeing the hull pop of the mold. 👍

[@Starboatbuilder]

Hi Just found the 2P-10 glue and the 3M-77. Must give them try. Thanks for showing / using. Boat looks great.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

They are handy bits of chemistry for sure. The Super 77 is the only thing I have found that can hang onto HDPE. The 2P-10 isn’t any different than any other cyanoacrylate glue but they do offer it in larger bottles and in a good variety of viscosities.

next level sound track

[@garykirscher9456]

Thank you so much, great teaching video

[@mikefriend7570]

Very tricky combining epoxy with wood. I’m intrigued to see how you coat the two final surfaces.

[@kurtlangford1895]

I hope I just worry too much, but about the skeg; check Class Rules D3.2a &b Hull Construction. Probably only a problem if the boat is too fast.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

I’ll check but the designer is pretty active in the 2.4mR scene and I’m following his recommendations on that.

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

hi mark, great video again, can i ask, what camera do you use. because your quailty is very clear

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

I’m using a Canon 70D with a variety of different lenses but none of them are particularly high end.

[@Johnbuildsiconic]

@@Nomadboatbuilding thank you for your reply

[@will_w]

I guess I didn't understand the earlier video. Why isn't the keel with the transom extended all the way to the rudder opening?

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

The shape just gets too tight for ease of planking is one reason.

[@will_w]

@@Nomadboatbuilding I see. Thanks.

[@soylentgreen326]

Made my day something sensible in an increasingly upsetting corrupt world 👍👍👍👍👍 Nice work looking amazing. *Additional* see you have a good up section under your bench, make a good video?????

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Thanks. I have a laundry list of general workshop and woodwork videos I would like to do. Just needs to get the boat projects out of the way. I'm judging by your moniker that we would get along just fine on movie night btw. Big fan of that genre.

[@soylentgreen326]

@@Nomadboatbuilding yeah l kinda think we would 😉

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Let me know when you’re free for a Planet of the Apes mega-marathon.

[@soylentgreen326]

@@Nomadboatbuilding lol PLANET of the Apes is playing right now on the World stage IMHO. Don't forget Friday is *SOYLENT GREEN DAY* 😉

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

@@soylentgreen326 sure enough is. I’ll sharpen up my people fork in preparation for Friday.

Step away....step away! funny.

If you ever want to see a good tutorials on glass check out Red Barn Boats. He builds out stich and glue boats. Lots of glass being done and he shows how. Good video can't wait to see this in the water.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Thanks Ed, I’ll check that out.

[@Starboatbuilder]

Hi What is that type of glue/ manufacture & why the 2P-10 activate

[@alfaspiderveloce6617]

In future foam fabrications- the air plane model makers use a hot wire foam cutter with guitar wire and a small transformer. Might not conform to the wine glass shapes of hull keg, but good for roughing out the blanks without dust or band saw kinks.....

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

If I could see myself doing that with regularity I might look into that option. Thanks.

[@tallboy3558]

When is the next one ; I’m addicted 👍

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

I'm trying to get one out each week on Sunday at the moment.There's plenty of stuff for you to grind through on the channel though.

[@MikeAG333]

Having slightly concave sides made that just a little awkward, I reckon.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

It’s a boat. Everything is a little awkward.

[@SalingSamantas]

You do very nice work! Beautiful boat.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

@@SalingSamantas Thank you.

[@dnomyarnostaw]

$300 of filler applied to the hull, $150 sanded onto the floor.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Well yes. Although this got maybe $5 worth of the stuff.
