ShamblingBunyip Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Cut frames and positioned on strong back. I only used 2 fixed stations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamblingBunyip Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Bow and stern added. Split the end of the last stringer I was lashing to the stern. Stuck in back together with some epoxy and lashing. Hope its ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamblingBunyip Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Made coamings from the remaing wrc. The plans call for a ply coaming that slopes with the deckline. I'm still deciding what to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShamblingBunyip Posted October 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 Here is a pic of the coaming as per the plans. Is this a better option than the wrc laminated coaming? https://images.app.goo.gl/5S7YbDi9pYANkzjx6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would use what ever the designer calls for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamblingBunyip Posted January 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 I used a stitch I found in a building journal by George Dyson. It is very similar to the doubble corded stitch but without the chords. I had to place the stitches much closer together and they mirror on each side. It took about 3 times as long as the doubble corded stitch I used on Curlew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShamblingBunyip Posted January 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 I stapled the bow and then welded the seam using the side of the hot knife attachment on my soldering iron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShamblingBunyip Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I was a bit worried about some wrinkles in the skin but they came out easily with a light iron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamblingBunyip Posted February 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 On with the urethane goop. Much nicer to work with than the varnish I used last time. I tried some on a piece of scrap first and it looks like it is compatible with the skin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labrat Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Nice job there Bunyip - not shambling at all! It looks like the back bands are attached to the sides of the coaming only - is there a strap behind them to hold them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
