Sawfish kayak shaping the hull

[@myperspective5091]

I used to use a Black & Decker Dremel for the same thing. I used to make a foam terrain for miniature wargaming. I also used to make foam rc airplanes and rc sail boats /pond yacht. I found that the the foam would get sucked into the motor through the fan and it would burn and melt in there. It could kill a Dremel. I noticed that people who shape surfboards would use a shop vac attached their sanders when they shape their boards.

I enjoyed every minute of that

Great job.

So many micro-plastics going into the environment though... anyway to do this with heat?

[@rowerwet]

A hot wire cutter can also be used, it allows you to make mistakes a lot faster though, so I haven't tried it yet

Just wondering, why do you build up, glue, and then shape multiple layers of foam instead of just cutting a 2” foam panel and installing it on its end like a stitch and glue panel? Thanks.

[@rowerwet]

I've built a number of plywood designs, and I wanted to get the maximum boat from the minimum material. Look at the cut pattern for a similar length kayak and you see a lot of waste material that is thrown away after the hull panels are cut out. The second reason being that this utilizes the thickness of the sheet to the maximum advantage, and all those layers of glue add strength to the hull that foam doesn't naturally have, because it doesn't have the long strand fibers in it that wood does.

How did you remove the plastic from the bottom?

[@rowerwet]

Plastic?

[@KayakBrothers]

@@rowerwet I mean the foam

[@rowerwet]

Very nice , Haw many kg weight your kayak ?

[@rowerwet]

11-12 Kg depending on how you build it, that's my average build weight

Больше дела, меньше разговоров.Из за етого многие и не любят смотреть видео потому что много пустой болтовни.
