Replacing the floor timbers. Restoring a wooden sailboat (KNARR ON42). Ep.5. Nye bunnstokker.

In this video I make new laminated floor timbers for my Knarr wooden sailboat.
The boat has been on land for 17 years now. In the first years I replaced 58 ribs, the keel timber and a few floor timbers. Then the boat was put in storage behind a barn for 7 years. And my wife nicknamed it "Vannskrekk" (Fear of the Water"). But now I'm going to complete the restoration.
I denne videoen lager jeg nye laminerte bunnstokker til min Knarr treseilbåt.
Båten har stått på land i 17 år nå. De første årene ble det byttet 58 ribber og hele kjølstokken. Pluss noen bunnstokker. Så ble båten satt til lagring under presenning i 7 år bak en låve. Og fikk etterhvert klengenavnet Vannskrekk. Men nå skal restaureringen fullføres.

Beautiful boat, the building and its other contents look interesting too. When you need some real power it's hard to beat hydraulics, brilliantly done!

I'm very impressed with your chosen bending technique. That short video makes subscribing a must. Great work!

[@ysteineek3976]

Thank you. The forklift was there. So why not use it. 😀

[@RossWilliamsDC]

Brillant bending method.

[@SampsonBoatCo]

Nicely done!

Greetings from Whidbey Island, Washington State, USA. Well done, sir. I've subscribed and look forward to your future videos.

Veldig kjekt å se at du gjør så grundig arbeid med restaureringen av båten din . Flott video

Subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos sir. Noticed you have a bandsaw. May I suggest searching for a resaw blade that will fit you bandsaw? We have a bandsaw from Grizzly that will resaw 10 inches of oak with no drift and that is with a standard blade.

[@ysteineek3976]

Thank you for subscribing. I know the bandsaw has a wrong blade. It belongs to the workshop next door and I didn't have time to by them a new one. I'll check out Grizzly.

I like the laminated floors a very practical solution was that epoxy or urethane adhesive ?

[@ysteineek3976]

I used polyurethane. Too cold for epoxy in my workshop in the winter. And with PU you don't need to dry the boards after steaming.

[@TheBeaker59]

@@ysteineek3976 PU is a great option with those constraints I sort of guessed with the foamy extrusions. PU is more waterproof than epoxy but epoxy is stronger and more tolerant of woods movement I use both in my boat building workshop. Epoxy is first preference though I guess it has a longer history of use whereas moisture cure PU is new technology.

you beaut!

[@robertparrish5542]

why are you not using Brass screws ??

[@ysteineek3976]

Brass not very long lasting in sea water. Bronze would be the best choice. The next best is sea water proof stainless steel . Wich I startet with many years ago because it's less expencive. And now, I will use only that because mixing with other materials will cause galvanic corrosion.
