Nick my mind is blown. Each time I watch your videos I learn a new trick
Aha! again. Countersink before full bore-good one. tnx Also no end pour is a great tradeoff for a plastic squeegee or two per boat. A good one indeed.
Thank you for taking time to post your videos. They have helped me so much in building my first strip kayak.
Master craftsman
thank you very much!!!!
I am assuming this would also be a good place in the build process to drill/fill for foot brace mounting holes as this wasn't shown in the videos.
I usually do the holes later, during the final fill coats, but during this stage would be fine. Measure carefully.
Any guidance on what to use for reference in terms of fore and aft placement of the cheek plates? Wouldn’t want to install and then after the build when adding the seat, finding out I put in too far aft or foreword. Thanks!
Is that 4oz cloth you are using for the fittings?
Do you sell the CNC-cut hatch template and the skeg control box template? I just received 2 small sheets of plywood with my CLC kit and with your book, I can make a paper hatch template, but your CNC template would be awesome!! Also, I may have missed but any video or guidance on making the skeg control box?
Hi Nick, I’m trying to make the flush deck cleats, I’ve downloaded your drawing for these but machining an ⅛” rebate is proving difficult, I’ve succeeded in a 1/16” rebate using a ½” cutter with a ⅜” bearing guide. So far I’ve made six without success, any tips?
Hi Nick, do the hatches have to be cut out after glassing or can it be done also before
It looks like you only glassed the hip risers (braces?) where attached to the cockpit (along with the strengthening carbon..) Did you glass the whole hip brace and I just didn't see it? Or did you just epoxy, or even less, just varnish?
I call them “cheek plates”. They are glassed on both sides before I installed them.
What are the tradeoffs between the traditional endpour vs this method?
This method is more controlled. Allowing you to be more conservative with the size of the pour. The only real advantage of the traditional Boat-on-end pour is it can be done any time after the kayak is complete. There is a small window when you can do the dam method, and if for some reason the timing doesn't work out for your schedule, you may have to do the boat-on-end method.
What material did you use for the hatch lip and spacer?
4mm Okoume marine plywood.
thanks
What is your opinion on using 1/4" bcx plywood ( not marine grade) from home depot. The lip and spacer are getting epoxied and sealed after all. It's just cheaper and easier to get.
While it wouldn't be my first choice, well sealed with epoxy and under fiberglass, it would probably work.
1/4" is thicker and heavier than you need, but if you have no other options readily available...
You might see if there is a WoodCraft within driving distance: www.woodcraft.com/products/baltic-birch-plywood-3mm-1-8-x-24-x-30?via=573621f469702d06760016d0
I found a plywood distributor near me that sells marine plywood. www.boulterplywood.com/ Fine prices and I was able to get the dimensions I needed. Thanks again
What makes the hatch waterproof? how do you keep it inplace so it does not pop out? Thanks
I use weather stripping for a gasket and nylon straps to hold down the hatch cover. All will be revealed in episode 19 ua-cam.com/video/ieXXj2xFsiE/v-deo.html
