International 2.4mR Sailboat Project - Episode 33 - Making the carlins

[@daveeckblad]

I've been learning countless things from your videos but i gotta say that seeing you use a spring clamp as a pliers and a quick grip as a hammer is masterful

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Haha. Gotta work with what you got at hand.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Nice Workmanship there Mark.

[@afterthemouse]

Loving the Diresta name checks!

[@TrapShooter68]

Fantastic attention to detail. One of my absolute favorite channels. Love your work!

[@billmeldrum2509]

Your channel is one of the highlights of my Sundays. Project is looking great. 🇨🇦

[@wesleywillard]

This was great Mark. Good stuff man.

[@chrispomfret8592]

Thank you for sharing your craft.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

You are so welcome!

[@lunkydog]

Lots of good information and problem solving in this one. I liked the pinning the end of the lamination bundle trick.

Cherrs from Brazil 🇧🇷

A little trick to calculate the area of an odd shape. Since your MDF is very consistent in density you can cut the cockpit shape, weigh it, and knowing from another sample that you weigh so many Lb per Sq. Ft .(Grams/Sq. Centimeter) just divide and Poof you have a very accurate area.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Never would have considered that idea. Thanks.

[@chipbisson28]

@@Nomadboatbuilding You are welcome, and thanks for sharing your work!

[@lunkydog]

I did that to calculate the area of a combustion chamber on a racing bike to determine how much to face off for a target compression ration. Used paper cut in the shape of the chamber vs a known full sheet of paper weight and measured with a reloading scale. Hit it within a tenth of a CC. I think I had heard about it from it being used to figure out area under a curve before computers got smarter.

@@lunkydog I got this from my drafting instructor. Yes, I am "Took Drafting in high school" years old...

Alternate idea for combing to make it match the deck camber: At time 20:33 you mention the blocks placed below the glue up didn't make much difference. Perhaps next time you could make the billet strips 3" wide instead of the 1" that you did this time. Then after less complicated glue up, when placing the combing onto the deck, you could scribe a line with correct deck camber and cut the combing to the proper height to match the deck? Bit more work, but you wouldn't need the extra blocks... Also have you thought of having the combing stick proud of the deck covering? With Kayak construction the cockpit combing sticks above the deck for tying a waterproof cockpit cover. Not sure of the rules for this model, but combing of a contrasting color (perhaps matching the hull planking) might be an attractive visible edge? Also if deck planking is plywood, you could cut a grove in the outside edge of the combing to insert the edge of the plywood sheet into this rabbit, and not see laminations of plywood? (again only ideas you might consider for the next build).

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

I might have gone with wider stock for that lamination if I had it on hand but I didn’t and I knew the amount of shape it needed would be small. These laminations are just the underlying structure for the cockpit opening. It will get a much wider raised coaming later in the process.

Mark your on Carlin's I'm on IPA, 🍻 have a cold one you've earned it.

[@jerryleach3311]

Is there a video of your method of cutting the 1/8" strips? I'm looking to cut quite a few 5/64" myself.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Yes there was of me cutting the planking stock. Episode 13. I don’t do anything special for narrow strips as in the carlins.

[@michaelleake7894]

toward the end of this video there is a frame for a boat above your head. What is that boat. also, what brand of shoes and shirt are you wearing??????

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

The frame is an Inuvialuit kayak. Are you joking about the shirt and shoes? The shoes are Sketchers, the shirt...well I'm wearing about four different ones throughout the video but I couldn't tell you the brand of any of them.

[@mikefriend7570]

A very interesting video. I'm interested to know how long this boat build took. Obviously following it on youtube it seems to be taking forever. That not a criticism just a perception. The boat in it's current form looks a bit like a canvas canoe my father and I built back in the fifties, not nearly as well crafted I hasten to add!

[@stianstorengen9579]

When you're a carlin everything is a hammer.

[@jasoncaldwell888]

Love you vids but can you film some closeup shots please?

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

I do when I can.

[@marvinwestern4276]

Ticonderoga should sponsor you. They are the best.

[@MikeAG333]

If it's any use to you Mark, you could send me a drawing of that curve and I could take it into Autocad and give you an absolutely precise measurement of the area.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Thanks for the offer Mike but it’s water under the keel now.

[@felixwichert3390]

[@bonafideadventures8425]

You are a little mistaken. If you want good joints you go with Cheech and Chong not George carlin

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Hahaha. Quite right! True story, Tommy lived in my old neighbourhood in Vancouver.

[@bonafideadventures8425]

Even funnier thanks
