Thank You for posting your progress and Thank You for introducing me to the Shaper Origin. I had no idea that these tools existed. It makes more sense and economical to buy one of these then to have all the pieces cut at a CNC shop. I want to build the Temptress also so, I'll be watching your progress. I just subscribed so I won't miss anything. Good Luck.
Thank you Frank. I chose the shaper because I did not have the space or $ for a CNC machine. And the outsource option was crazy expensive in the Twin Cities But please know that I spent hundreds of hours cutting out all of the parts. Outsourcing CNC can save you several months of time.
SANTA!!!!! I know him!! I love the 1 year in review. It is amazing to see how far you have gotten this done. But i know there is a long way to go. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for sharing this with us; very neat project! I couldn't help but notice that you used a Shaper Origin rather than a table-style CNC. I'm not a fan of it, as the Shaper Origin has two critical disadvantages compared to traditional CNCs: you have to guide it along manually, and it is only capable of doing 2 dimensional routing.
Fair point. I looked into purchasing a table-style CNC, it it was too expensive, and I did not have the space for it. When I watch Dan Lee Boatbuilding, it is clear that the table-style CNC is more accurate and way faster. I do like the Shaper Original. So no turning back now…
You can buy the Shaper Dominos tape for ~$20/roll. One roll will cover 2-3 sheets of plywood. To save $, In Temptress Build 7, I placed a guide board with shaper tape, on which I never cut the dominoes. I just kept butting new board to the bottom of the taped board. I would guess that I spent
@paulbriggs3072 The CNC router is not ideal for such a large project. DanLeeBoatbuilding does a much better job with a full CNC. As for the stringers, the stringers get notched and the frames fit into the notches. This is my first boat build, so I am following Dan Lees UA-cam 1/4 scale build as my guide.
If you use epoxi and let it cure, and don't clean off rhe amine blush (minimum) or sand, and then glue another layer or anything to it, it's gonna come off very easy. You only mentioned sanding after one layer epoxi once, and your pieces looked very shiny often. I hope you haven't skipped cleaning off rhe amine blich or sanding, especially that stringer you glued up in two steps, and you didn't show any sanding, which would be absolutely necessary on a piece like a stringer.
Very good point. For the coating process, I used West System Epoxy 207 Special Clear Hardener. It is formulated to not leave an amine blush, so it does not need washing or sanding. I agree that it is very shiny; not my favorite look. Anywhere that I have to add a second layer of export, when I used the 206 Hardener, I first sand the cured layer of epoxy.
@@Polymerman Pretty sure that's NOT how it's meant to be used. It's meant to require less sanding for finish work or layer under paint etc. You're using it as a base for glueing etc, which is not the same at all.
This is the most honest comment yet. Thank you. I agree. Temptress is beautiful, and will not be cheap to build. I am lucky to have a garage deep enough and to have friends who loan me tools. If you live close to Woodbury, MN… you are welcome to visit and work with me.
Love these boat designs, i'd love to build one for myself one day. Great progress so far, I will be following closely.
Thanks for following. And I agree, I love the design.

It's 3k for a shaper and 30K minimum for a decent sized 3 axis cnc. The parts looked good after cutting.
Love it
Thank you!
12:57 how much do those Domino traking stickers cost for your hand held CNC router?
You can buy the Shaper Dominos tape for ~$20/roll. One roll will cover 2-3 sheets of plywood.

Thank you for sharing! What's the spacing between each bulk head, length wise? (I am not sure if I am using the right terminology.)
In general, the frames are spaced 20” apart. The bulkheads on Frames 2 and 4 are spaced 40” apart.
Hope this answers your question.
Sub'd for the cowbells.
I must ask… what does Sub’d for the cowbells mean?
@@Polymerman I subscribed right after the cowbells song bit :D
Thank you for prescribing and watching.
Be careful al of a sudden youtube may decide to remove the audio track of the video. Or give the money to someone else.
How much did all those clamps cost you?
I borrowed most of them from a friend. I personally have spent
Very good, but the complexity computer guided router and also of the two bottom stringers and trying to fit them into the frames lost me.

Cow bell, that the same as tumble home?
What? I don’t understand the question…
@24:44 I wish I could build this boat. I don’t have the money for it nor the location to build it. Or the tools.
This is the most honest comment yet. Thank you.

@@Polymerman I greatly appreciate the offer. Sadly, I live in Albuquerque, NM. As a disabled veteran I’m on a fixed income. I can’t afford it.
First.. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I do appreciate your watching, and wish you the best.

Send me the plans 😢
Sorry. I need Dan’s help. SonI can’t give away and ruin is business.
