You are opening new territory in the boat building world ... building your own CNC machine, working with wood laminate, consciously choosing materials that support the planet and most impressively designing the boat itself and programming the CNC for all the cuts. You are singlehandedly opening new boat build territory ... making CNC boat building accessible to the individual. I applaud your pioneering spirit and intelligent design. Thanks for smoothing out the bumps for those who are sure to follow.
Nice to see you watching the Duracell Project. I wonder if they watch you? And I am sure you will fix the little gap. Remember, the man who never made a mistake never made anything!
Sorry to see you are still suffering from the colder temperatures, you are making such good progress on the boat and now you have a dilemma - so I will not talk about that. But I know you like heavy metal (you are buying it in bars too 😉) - Have you listened/watched the Norwegian fella with an Italian name Leo Moracchioli ? If not here is a link to one of his covers and collars with Mary Spender - I reckon it is f’n brilliant. ua-cam.com/video/x0RV0kgdqJU/v-deo.htmlsi=6S3RSViVBwL2OVSa
It’s probably more important that it’s in the same plane than level, but doesn’t hurt to be both. Our Dovoh seems to be pretty close to our higher quality grade level. I think you’re set! Good job! One way to confirm (especially inside) is to set level on the wall far away and use a water level. Water levels are nearly perfect and all you need is a bucket, clear tubing and a stick. You can confirm your laser that way too as its error can only be a pitch (plane) issue, photos always travel in a straight line.
Panu I just caught up on all your videos. You are so inspiring man! For me this is like a Disney film, some cheesy message like “follow your dreams!” but it’s actually real! You’re going to have such a beautiful boat. You will not regret the commitment to precision. Thank you for being the kind of crazy person to take on such an ambitious project, and thank you for all the extra work you’re doing to document it.
Hi Parnu. I am not a boat builder but with different things I am involved with I find it quicker in the long term to go back to the stage that isn't quite right put it right and correct then move on to the next stage. It saves altering alot of the work that you have done but not yet fitted. All the best mate see you soon . Chris
When you tried to force the outside vertical pieces down by hammering it, and it had no space to go anywhere; so it forced the inside pieces up. And that's how you got the gaps. You also used the pry bars, and that probably also pushed up the inside pieces to create that gap.
We have three 🐱🐱🐱 But unfortunately they’re not used to travelling around… They have inspected things I’ve done at home. Like the CNC electric installations. 🧐
Working with epoxy and plywood, some would recommend pretreating the ply with a layer of epoxy before the glue up, to limit the "sucking up" of the glue into the dry woodnm, and so make a better seal.
Yeah, I’m putting a lot of the stuff on both sides. Plywood definitely sucks it in more than regular wood! When it’s cold like that the epoxy is thick enough to have good amount when spreading. In warmer environments it’s much more liquid and harder to get thicker layers. Then it’s necessary to use wetting + thickened epoxy-method.
Controversial take. Structural integrity is the crux. When you are on the water, you won't care about a 5 in 1000mm slope in the bow portion of your deck and care even less about the 5 in 5000 slope amidships. You will feel the pain when you modify part after part. Love the show.
GREAT to see the shape of the boat take form ! A couple of months ago, you where in a bit of a dark spot, but now I see light in your eyes again 👍🏻 …. And that is very- very nice to see. Keep up the good spirit, she will be a beautiful ship. … and very symmetrical due to the exactness of the CNC. 😁
I've been burned by the variablilty in plywood as well. Probably a good principle to apply is to recognize that wood moves and plywood is unreliable so it's best to leave some extra space rather than the tight tollerances you are used to with the CNC pieces. It's a lot easier to shim than to cut away some of your forms. Best of luck sorting this out.
I would say your mistake is close to a benefit of the slope helping to shed water if the other side was same then it would match and any cosmetic adjustment done once boat is flipped. Awesome to see is coming together and keep up the good work
Great to see how UA-cam allow inspiration across the world. Panu, I am so impressed with your talents, grit and stamina. You master all disciplines and are of great inspiration. Be proud!!
Great to always spend some time viewing your work Panu, amazing to start seeing the frame of your sailboat. Always best of luck toward the Build and will be here forever. :)
Another well made Video Panu, and the rib looked great in place! It starts to give the scale of the project. I have several times run into the problem of buying a plywood of a certain thickness and then finding out it is not the thickness they claim it to be. I now will measure with a micrometer if I am using the plywood on something technical. Not sure how you are going to solve the out of place side plywood but I guess challenges like that are just part of the process. I hope you can find a solution that is acceptable to you and not too much work. Thank you again for including us on this journey.
It's fantastic to see your dream taking shape, and the build technique is impressive, with such a perfect match of all the pieces. You deserve more subscribers and Patreons for your unique content. Cheers.
You deserved a better outcome at this early stage. But a) you have learned from the experience; b) it's not a total disaster, not too difficult to remedy. At least yoou won't be compounding the error by building on the error. Good luck Panu I KNOW you will resolve this. :)
Just a first thought about the gap. Could it be filled in by epoxying in thin wood strips. There would then be two joints instead of a gap. Sounds like it would be stronger. Then make adjustments to the frames so they will be in correct position for the rest of the boat.
After this the gap has been “taken care of”. 😁 As for strength, this seam is not really structural. And filled epoxy is stronger anyway than the wood. 😊
Epic glue up sir! Maybe too much. I wondered when you said how much you were going to do at once if errors would creep in. I'm sure with your skills you will figure this out as well. Thanks for sharing
Irritating but not a fatal flaw. Lucky to find it in a correctable stage so you can retire the flaw before it is unreachable or compounded til it needs a major tear out to fix. Remember mistakes turn in to knowledge and improved skill levels when caught in time. Take care my friend.
In one of the previous chapters you made a dry fitting of those pieces, if remember correctly and at the time they fit ok. Did they suck in so much glue this time that the pieces had swollen now when gluing them?
Not sure. But I think the glue wasn’t the cause. I did a dry fit but I didn’t push them all the way in (was afraid not to get them off in one piece) We did the other side with some additional modifications and it worked well 😊
Panu, I examined your posting a second time to better understand the problem, in this case the bullwork to deck joint looks built in to the point it can't be changed. correction at the keel mold and frames seems to be the only logical choice. Life moves on. ;-) good luck ...pg
Hi there. And thanks for watching! 👀 I have fixed the issue after filming this video. I cut the wall off from the bottom with chainsaw. The chainsaw blade was wide enough to allow the deck to drop back on the mold to correct height. I will fill the remaining gap with epoxy goop later. 😊
You know, if that spacing , i think the finnish expression for it is paskaa tapahtuu, is the only error you make, you have done well! Simply make a shim for the space and move on. British and american boatbuilders in the 1900s used to measure to the 1/8 inch (~3mm) for most of the hull and no closer than 1/16 (1.6mm) for interior joinery and their boats have looked good and sailed well. Carry on!
The low temperature makes the epoxy thick enough to use it just as is. If it was warmer it would be too liquid to roll enough of the stuff in the surfaces and then I’d need to put additional thickening to it. For the gap seams I used thickened goop to have enough and to make it stay there.
In Hawaii we would wet both surfaces with thin, then apply another layer of thickened to laminate. We would look for a lot of squeeze out to ensure a full bond. Clean up would be done with a bucket of vinegar, spatulas and rag. The vinegar is an excellent clean up trick, as you probably know. Depending how clean you work, you can always clean up with a flappy bird when it’s dry. Also I was thinking that you can always use the plastic wrap trick to break up the processes, when you find yourself in situations where the squeeze out will make for difficult cleanup….
@@shovelover Yep, that's the "more common" way to do it. As far as I know (referring with the Gougeon Brothers' book) the reason is exactly to have enough glue there for the wood to suck. In my case I can see no need for putting the thickened stuff there - IF I can put enough glue without it. There's nice smallish squeeze out from between the plywoods. As mentioned though, in the beginning there was little bit on the lower side. But I bet it's enough. Epoxy is way stronger than the plywood anyway... And if I was concerned that there's not enough, I could actually thicken the epoxy just a little bit to still to be able to roll it in in thick enough layer.
@@ArcticSeaCamel fore sure - it's an amazing project. keep up the good work. im sure it gets overwhelming. the project makes sense though. thats a nice comfort.
I know you are used to large epoxy glue ups, so you take them in your stride now. But they still seem monumental to us normal people, ha, ha. I have found rollers just seem to soak up more epoxy than the wood does.
It's not only about the plywood tolerance but also your FASTENINGS. never assume two surfaces are meeting. And use fasteners to ensure right joinery. I'm gutted about this my friend. Hang in there.
Yep! There was hundreds of screws to pull the sheets together while gluing. That mistake though, I didn’t even suspect that could happen. The pieces are heavy so gravity was on my side. Lesson learned there.

Just keep up the effort and if at all possible fix the mistake now because there might be other unforeseen problems cropping up in the future. Annoying but that is part of doing things especially that has not been tried before by any other individual we know about.

Now is the only chance you’ll have to fix it properly. If you work around the mistake you will always regret it and it will come up again later without any possibility of relief. Of course it doesn’t have to be perfect but trimming your perfect frames is a compromise you will not be happy with.
What a shame about the small error in your glue up. Just give it some thought before you fix it as its probably as simple as a bit of filling and faring. You are so methodical in your process so dont't hammer yourself too much. Its looking good. Great work. ian

Yep, exactly. I've now learned the good tolerance between "puzzle joints" but with thickness-based tolerances, there's still things to learn.

Old wheel weights are usually a good source for lead but im not sure if it would be in finland
Harder to get every day. I think they don’t use lead anymore in new tire installations.
@@ArcticSeaCamel no i think the new stuff is zinc but old tire shops might have some laying around to get rid of

I’m curious about your epoxy… are you using thickened epoxy or just the liquid? Exciting stuff Panu! 🇨🇦
Both. For the plywood joint, just plain epoxy rolled on both surfaces. For the seams it’s thickened.
It’s easier to correct the mistakes that compensate for the mistakes- Believe me.👍
