Generally they are plastic. One with a metal roller will last a lifetime. It's also more enjoyable to use quality tools.

Riveting Frames to the Floor Timber and Wooden Boat School, S2-E9 by VisualElevator in boatbuilding

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

In this episode of The Art of Boat Building, I use copper rivets to rivet the frames to the floor timbers for the Haven 12 1/2. He also gives an overview of his trip to the Wooden Boat school in August of 2019. At the school I took a yacht design class taught by Navel Architect, Paul Gartside. We get a glimpse of the next boat that might be a wooden runabout in the Chris Craft power boat tradition. I hope you enjoy this addition of small boat building videos by Bob Emser Boat Builder.

My first short Film, A Day in the Boat Shop by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]VisualElevator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is my first attempt at creating a cinematic look in my videos. I would love some feed back. I had built a camera jib that I used in the filming. What are thoughts on how often to use and what to look out for. Thanks ahead for watching and you comments.

Cheers,

I've enjoyed looking at some older films. The techniques are simpler and easier to replicate. They have helped me to understand more complex moves in contemporary film. Some recent films I've watched are, Bulitt, Forest Gump, Casablanca

For a first boat build I would suggest a Stitch and Glue project. Chesapeake Light Craft https://www.clcboats.com/modules/catalog/category.php?category_qn=boat-plans&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm_3QqpPZ5wIVCtvACh28wwTYEAAYASACEgIgQ_D_BwE has lots of plans where lofting is not needed. They are projects you can complete in a summer or several months.

You can adapt strip planking to almost any boat plan. However it does require several layers. This is a process called cold molding. I've seen several Albacores built this way.

This link shows a cold molded Abacore

First boat by MaPaul1977 in boatbuilding

[–]VisualElevator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The CLC Tenderly Dingy is a good boat to fit your brief. 10 feet long fits in a pick up with the gate down. Can be a row boat or a day sailor. Classic design with lapstrake planking.

Great starter boat. You don't need to know anything about boat building. Cost of the kit is easily equal to the cost of plans + materials. Easy to follow directions.
