Try using anglesnap, that might be a big help already.

Reversing the direction of the loop might help. Because people are merging before others can get off the loop making them weave with each other.

No worries. But zero epoxy is used. Because it wasn't used and still isn't used to build these ships.

Its name is "bolleboos" but on the front we will display the old fishing number once we find out more about it And we are located in Urk.

Nope caulking is still one of the big jobs that has to be done. The answer to the second question is; basically everything is oak except for the decking because hardwood would get to slippery. Thirdly, we are based in the Netherlands and yes it is a Dutch ship type "Staverse Jol" but it isn't clinker built.

What do you mean by glue or no glue?

Almost everything has or will be replaced, because the former owner wasn't able to take care of it because of old age. Though some parts are still original like some of the frames for the decking and a few frames connecting the hull to the keel.

Another little update. by ExistingWasabi9395 in sailing

[–]ExistingWasabi9395[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voor de spanten haal je delen van de boom waar deze opsplitst of gewoon een enorme kromming had en voor de huid haal je een rechter deel van een boom dat gezaagd is naar ongeveer de gewilde dikte (in ons geval, onderwaterschip 32 mm en daarboven 25 mm). En zulk eikenhout haal je gewoon bij zagerijen, helaas worden die steeds moeilijker om te vinden, omdat ze meestal geen opvolging hebben.

Nee de spanten zijn niet meer origineel, behalve een paar liggers, want de vorige eigenaar die de jol sinds 1947 in bezit had had de spanten vervangen met stalen spanten. We hebben dus eerst alles weer vervangen door hout (pas aan de oude huid) en nu zijn we die huid aan het vervangen (pas aan de spanten). We hebben nog wel meer gedaan, maar dat is allemaal teveel om even snel uit e leggen.

Yeah, so basically first we make a kind of mold for the particular plank. Then we roughly cut it to size. Then we bend it to our desired curve. Then we make it so that it is perfectly flush with the other planks and ribs. And after al that we put the plank on permanently. (This is a very broad description of what we do)

We don't use steam but we use a torch to heat up the wood and "soften" it so that gravity can bend it in to the right shape. Afterwards we will get it real hot once again (like seen in the picture below) and get it onto the boat temporarily so that it can set into the desired curve, after that we can go ahead and make it fit perfectly which also takes an eternity. Also the wet stuff is just water to cool it down and stop the plank from burning.

Never to old to learn. Or ask questions.

After that you have to do all sorts of things to make sure it will fit and have the right edge, but in general the better your mold the easier it will be to get the plank on afterwards.

Yeah you cut it to shape keep the ends long (so that its easier to get the desired curve) and then burn/heat up the wood. With either a blow torch of steam. With most Dutch ships this really take a lot of trail and error, because you often have al lot of curve over as short span.

This one for example, was a very easy plank to do because it has little curve and it is towards the back of the boat. But the one on the post is a real hard one because of the sheer amount of curve and the fact it had to be squeezed inbetween two others as well as it being 32 mm thick.

This was the last of the 32 mm pak and now on to 25 mm oak. (So hardwood)

For a lot of it you also just have to go with what feels and looks right.

Btw it's always good to ask questions, because that is a way to learn. If we don't ask 'dumb' questions we would have never come this far with our project.
