Canadian shipwright here. It’s never good to install a structural member under stress (either its or yours 😂). The rule to go by is laminates need to be thin enough that the assembly is easily flexed into shape by hand. The tighter the curve the thinner the strips required. I would have used 8 strips less than half the thickness you did for that radius. The other rule is to leave the gluing surface rough and the easiest way to do this is to cut the strips on a bandsaw which leaves a great cross grain tooth in the wood to lock together. Definitely don’t plane them smooth. As to species, we try to use only species that are both long fibre and rot resistant. My preferences are white oak, douglas fir, sitka spruce or mahogany. Love the project and your enthusiasm!

A handy hint I picked up removing rivets from steel. Once you have it flush, drill a hole down the centre before trying to drive it through. This give the energy a place to go instead of trying to spread the rivet further. The same should work with copper.

Hello both, I follow your RU-vid channel from the beginning .I like very much what you guys doing. I worked already 30 years with Epoxy and built several boats in woodcore. We actually live on a woodcore boat now in the Bahamas . I know exactly what your problem is with the delamination and it's easy to solve. You are applying first thin epoxy which is good , but then you have to wait and see how much the wood sucks up the epoxy. If the epoxy sucks in totally you need to apply an other coat of thin epoxy before applying the thickened epoxy. If you don't give the epoxy time it will sucks in the wood while clamped in place and the glue surface inside will be dry up with delaminatin as a consequence. Excuse for my bad English 😂

@dadedubbledee 4 месяца назад

As I understand woodwork and I'm by no means any kind of expert, you need rough surfaces for bonding because as well as having a better surface to grip to it also gives a bigger surface to grip to in essence but also helps to retain more of the bonding material. Looks to me like the surfaces was so nice and smooth and like you said under so much strain and forces not only for them straightening themselves out but from you clamping them into place and shape that it all forced most all the epoxy out leaving hardly anything to do the actual bonding and not a whole lot for all them bonding hands to gerra grip on lol It's a learning curve....no pun intended lol for all of us. Great recovery Simon it's good to see the good the bad and the ugly because that's what real life is about. Awesome great job and so interesting to see the massive tide. When it comes time for yall to cast off finally from that spot will it have to be timed to one of those extra high rides? Or will a regular one be enough?

I've done a LOT of laminating for exterior projects using a variety of materials. Rule of thumb - the greater the curve, the thinner the pieces. I've been surprised you've been getting the curves you have with oak that thick. for more curve, get that thickness down to 1/4 inch or even less. Glue them in place and cut your scarf with them in place.

Have you ever trialed some of your systems beyond running the engines and engaging the props during a high tide such as this? I suppose specifically what I'm thinking is (are) your rudder(s) and stabilizers? Somewhere along the way, a subscriber stated your rudder(s) did not function. It would be exciting and rewarding to see Sarinda move just the few meters that her lines would permit. Just a curious fella. 😊👍 AH HA! I didn't view enough of the video.

Hi Simon and Gemma. I have watched a few of your videos and am impressed with your dedication and the ability to "keep smiling" in adversity. I too am the proud owner of an old boat in the throes of restoration. My vessel is a Dutch Luxemotor, built in 1897 (yes....127 years old!!) with a riveted iron hull, which is moored in central France on the Canal de Briare, Amazingly, the hull is the only part of the boat which hasn't been "messed-with" and is still as good as the day it was built! Anyway, the reason for my contacting you is: Are you aware that you can obtain a "Zero VAT Declaration" for old vessels for the purchase of goods and materials, specifically for use on the vessel? This could obviously save you 20% which, having seen the quantity of materials you are using, would be a considerable amount. If you need any help with the above, please let me know. Kind regards and best wishes. Nick Longstaff

I guess steaming the laminate planks, then dry assembling them in place so they take on the bend easier? Once dry, epoxy them together in place? I imagine Leo or Peter from Travels with Geordie (he’s done some crazy sharp bends in the hull of Geordie etc) would be good points of contact for help.

Two thoughts; I agree with the other commenters about thinner ply's. Three ply's should be at least 6. Secondly, this is a new batch of West Systems epoxy, right? I would not be so quick to accept that something has not gone wrong with the material West supplied. You have done some very tight bends with web frames that extended into the bilge. Take a very close look at the epoxy containers to make certain that something has not changed by accident. I'll also suggest switching to the high flexibility epoxy with your next purchase.

Just Curious - When the oil was changed the Port engine showed what looked like an emulsion due to water in the oil. Has the new oil been rechecked to see if it has again emulsified?

@martynbuzzing3327 4 месяца назад

The engines never seem to be run up to full working temperatures. Condensation could be mixing with the oil, its the same with diesel tanks. They need to be kept full. 😊

@m1cxf 4 месяца назад

Diesel tanks are horrendous condensation generators, unlike petrol tanks which are a little less problematic as it vapourises easier, well it did with proper old fashioned petrol. Getting an egine up to running temprature takes longer than people reaslise, not only do you have to wait for the guage to read the correct temp, you then need to keep it running for long enough to expell the crap that has accumulated. Add to that, diesels do not like running without a load and can become vulnerable to glazing inside the combustion chamber. This is why you see commercial vessels running the engines and in gear when moored. Modern engines adds further issues, I beleive that the police had problems because of the time they spent ticking over at accident scenes and I believe it led to one poor officers early departure from this world.

@philipreich7035 4 месяца назад

You might consider doing a rough sand on the mating surfaces with some 30 or 60 grit sandpaper to create a better surface for the glue to bond? Don't remove much material -- just scuff up the surface.... You mentioned possibly not planing them. Instead you could plane only one side to get it to thickness, and leave the rough cut on the other side for gluing. On the center plank, where you need glue on both sides, you could use the rough sanding on the planed side. Anyway, that's my "2 cents" on getting a stronger glue lamination. Keep up the good work! Cheers from Oregon, USA Philip

@themarinerkommer4371 4 месяца назад

i was told by a old builder that when he goes to glue two pieces or more together he said put some glue on the area you are joining first so that way it soaks in and then when it almost dry then apply another layer and then stick it together as the timber is quite porous and sucks up the glue to the extent your joint will fail.

@ivohooyberghs6808 4 месяца назад

That's exactly what happened here. The oak is very poreus and soaks all the epoxy out of the joint. With pine for instance the lamination would not have failed. It's also easier to use thinner strips in more severe bends but not doing so is not the reason of failure. The laminaat has then only the tendency to stretch a bit more

@SGTVProjects 4 месяца назад

Really enjoying watching your journey with your boat and what a place to do it, absolutely love it around that area take some lovely photos of the old boats left to rot I believe the council are looking at remover them aren’t they?

@davidm6134 4 месяца назад

Retired Joiner speaking here. You can de-stress the laminated members by using thinner strips. For the sort of curve you seem to be forming 6-8mm is the maximum. In general if you cannot bend the timber by hand (to the shape you require) then the lamina are too thick. If you want to use thicker sections you would have to steam them to shape, allow the natural resin to accept the inherent stress, dry them and then apply the epoxy. The second option is obviously very time consuming. You might want to take some core plugs of any sensitive members you have formed in the past to check for delamination. Stressful time ahead Simon!

Hi. Love your content and your work. I’m not a naval architect or engineer- just a building architect. My observation would be: if your laminate structural ribs can only flex at 4%, you would have to ensure the superstructure of the boat under way would not exceed that amount. Under a heavy seaway I don’t know the flexural limits of a timber ship. If it is at the limit you might need to introduce steel rods to ensure no more than 4% hull flex.

The only thing that might have worked better for you with the laminations, would have been steaming and maybe more laminations so thinner pieces of oak, this would have given more surface for the epoxy to cope with the sheer force and made the wood more pliable with steam.
