I love the river. around 35 years ago I sailed to TAS, sailed into Cygnet, dropped anchor, then someone came out to my boat and asked me move as I had dropped my anchor on the finish line, and they invited me to join in with their race. This was a week night and they had racing every type of sailing boat you could imagine One young guy was racing an old dragon single handed. I never competed but it was really something to see. I then sailed up to Franklin and moored at the jetty. I liked it that much I got a job and stayed there for 6 months. The river is truly a special place. And I look back at as one of my best memories.

Personally, having watched Leo's Tallyho build, I think what you are doing is way more impressive, because for a start theres only the two of you doing everything, with one or two other people helping once in awhile, plus you are not professional shipwrights, unlike Leo and most of his crew, and this is your first boat build from scratch. I am actually awe struck by your professionalism and high standards of workmanship.

Nothing wrong with painting laminated timbers, it certainly makes more sense than the alternatives ! Laminating is practical, you can use up wood that you have and that makes it convenient and also really strong and stable over long periods and makes perfect sense on a boat. We all like seeing varnished timbers but the reality is they can be troublesome and high maintenance. Thanks for showing the scenery on Obie's walk at the end, Tasmania is very strange and looks like an alien landscape compared to where I live right now, it's always nice to see things outside the shed because it's easy to forget where you are sometimes !

Did you make heavy duty knees in the other areas where there's going to be massive loads put on the boat when sailing?? It would have been so nice to have seen you guys start from day one until splashing and then your sailing adventures. You both make this project seem reasonable and nothing most people who have some craftsmanship skills can accomplish..

Very nice beams, and certainly very strong indeed. Just a shame to paint them, varnished they'd have looked fantastic ! The knees' function is to distribute the force from the beam to the frames. That is why they are usually selected according to the direction of the grain that should also make a 100° curve. If you want to use wood with parallel grain - no matter how strong and dense the wood may be - it is better to laminate the knee from several layers with crossing grain directions. Wikipedia: "Wood is a highly anisotropic material (its strength varies considerably with the direction of applied force, i.e. parallel, radial, or tangential to the grain). Because wood is strongest when loaded in tension or compression along the grain, the best knees are those in which the wood grain follows the bend. For a knee with relatively little bend, it may be possible to cut the knee out of a single straight-grained board and still achieve sufficient strength. However, with increasing bend this method becomes problematic since more and more of the knee is aligned across the grain and is therefore considerably weaker. A knee laid out this way might easily snap in two under hand pressure alone, even if it is generously sized. In boat joinery constantly subject to shock and fatigue loading this method is unsuitable. To avoid this issue knees requiring sharper curves are made using methods which ensure that the wood grain and direction of load are closely aligned. This can be achieved by steam bending, laminating, or selecting a natural crook with matching grain - a "grown knee". Grown knees are generally considered as the "best" method among boat builders and have a strong traditions associated with their use, but they may not achieve the same strength as a good laminated knee." Regarding the joint between deck beam and beam shelf check the episode on youtube titled: "Carvel Planking Episode 10: Deck Beams". There is a reason why dovetail joints are used.
@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River
@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River Жыл бұрын
Oh yes thanks for the tip, we’ve had a few comments from our knees and will explain the strength and use of the knees better. The grain orientation of these knees are almost vertical, they are bonded to horizontal deck beam at the top which will give significant strength when racking. Also they are quite chunky and not much cut away so we have no doubt in the strength of these two. There will also be a bulkhead 1ft fwd of this deck beam which will aid the knees in their work. Maybe an overkill for a Mai sheet traveller, but the old crash jibe can be a scary and powerful moment! Cheers

love your work. Just an idea; really like the jarrah knees, but in this day and age with the bonding technology available, and considering some of the comment from the Wooden Boat conference recently, would it not be better to laminate multi-directional grain panels of jarrah, and then cut the shape rather than a solid raw piece of timber, for greater strength... and you said you had to work with what you had for grain orientation. If you laminated, that is no longer a problem.

A camel in the barn may get slighty messy and dangerous. And Obie....Is it a he or a she? Important question as I fell in love and being a heterosexual I may have to undergo a sexchange to make it bearable. Haha. What "brand" is it?

It's so sad to watch amateurs building boats. Sadder still is that they don't read a few books first or go and learn from an experienced boatbuilder. There's a reason why deck beams are half dovetailed into beam shelves which I strongly suspect you will find out at a later date. Don't worry, I won't be watching your videos so you won't be getting more comments like this.
