The nose was difficult needing a lot of wires,and clamps to get it all pulled together nice and tight. The nose was allighned and wires tightened before the rest of the hull. Started wireing from the nose and worked my way towards the back adding wires anyplace that needed to be allighned.

Time to shove some more worthless crap in front of your eyeballs . Turned the hull over so I could finish stitching with the wires. Also leveled the hull from side to side to make sure it wasn't twisted.

Leveled hull by useing shims underneath the hull and needed one brick to force out some twist.

The blue tape is where I masked off for the thickened epoxy fillets.

The hull is tacked useing thickened epoxy being sure not to glue in the wires. when the epoxy is dry the wire ties can be removed and the fillets can be done and then the tape pulled. When the fillets are dry you have a nice solid hull.

With the hull glued up I needed to figure out where to frame up for the fin, skeg,keel boxes. So I flipped the hull upside down and started playing with skeg and fin shapes and placement. I found I was some what limited to placement because the hull kicks up from the last frame to the stern. For now just need to know the box placement and laiter I can play around with skeg shapes.

two day absent
I have been looking
for the next brain food…
…ambrose…
will the lines match?
My next installment of pictures was delayed cause i had to go out to Pakalas (104 cars at 09;15). Was my wifes birthday so we went out to Barking sands and enjoyed watching the surfers at Majors and family Housing, shopping at the NEX and eating shrimp at the shrimp station
So here is the double skeg box assembly>I drew it out full size on plywood. The white foam was used to keep everything in allighnment while glueing.

Glued in place and clamped with bricks

Teddy the shop dog under the work bench. He likes to sleep in the wood shaveings.

glueing on the bottoms of the boxes, When the board is turned over the skin will be routed out and these boxes will be filled with epoxy resin.

Here are the bottom stringers.The 2x4 block was used measure the distance of the stringers from the outside bulkhead of the board. After they were marked they were glued and wired in place untill dry. Wedgeing or weighting the stringers in place might destort the bottom panels.

Ogre!
MORE PORN, ASAP!!! I really enjoy watching your projects. It inspires me.
bill ,show up I saw it in the water
it looks cool underway…
…ambrose…
and it feels quite lively
forward also .
The aft paddle trim
is a short radius turn
The glide is substantial
the wailua was way glassy.
My deck stringers (floor joists-ha ha !) were not done acording to instructions. I cut them to exact deck curve and then glassed 4 oz cloth on either side.The deck were my fat ass is going to stand needs to be super strong.
[IMG]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r195/Wood_Ogre/Koholo%2014%20Kookbox/markspictures193.jpg[/IMG]
before the deck stringers can be fit the sheer clamps need to be planed flat from rail to rail.
[IMG]http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r195/Wood_Ogre/Koholo%2014%20Kookbox/markspictures194.jpg[/IMG]
Planeing the sheer clamps makes lots of shaveings(I like wood shaveings !)

More and more Wood shaveings !!!!!

When I did my finger joints for the hull panels I wanted to know just how strong they were so I made up 6 test strips with finger joints and glassed them with four oz glass cloth.Then I bent the strips untill they failed. As you can see the are very strong. None of the joints failed as you can see by the broken strip on the right.

Curious what the final product is suspected to look like? Got any vintage pictures of a similar finished board. Looks more like something I'd put an outboard on the back of than a vintage surfboard at this stage. Good work.
put that stick down Ogre
we're watchin and learnin,,, yes um!
why there no glass at this glue joint?
seems to me a little glass cloth would make for a better load spred.
(hope the glue dont melt,,,,,)pun
I thought I recognized this one. Its the Chesapeke Light Craft Kit/Plans. I've been wanting to build one of their Kayaks for years but just don't have the space to do it.

Mako, the one I'm keen to reproduce is the "Proa" through Chesapeake Light Craft. That design is one of the best one man sailors I've seen. It is so fast and user friendly. Great for short tours. Gotta keep that one in my back pocket for awhile.....some day.
