Clinker Boat Bar FINISHED
Posted: 18 Mar 2018, 15:12
Greetings Chaps!
An interesting project which has been on the cards for me to design and build for a while is a bar to replicate a wooden clinker boat. Now it's getting closer, I've recently prepared the drawings. This project is for a new build consisting of holiday cottages and a large function room. My client is a keen and very experienced sailor, so the clinker boat is completely his idea.
This is where the bar will be.
And here is the design...
I seem to be preparing most of my drawing work on Publisher these days (2016), which means I can work from home instead of on the drawing board at work. My eyes for the drawing board are not what they used to be either. Mrs P suggested I sell it, but there is no way that's going to happen. I've owned a drawing board since the age of 13 and I've never not had one in my life. I've owned my current board (A0X) for over 25 years from new and she ain't going anywhere - probably not worth much now anyway.
I'm going to try and stick with traditional methods when building the clinker boat part of the bar and the planks might be made using spruce. The frames, top and internals will probably all be made from pine.
Will update soon.
Cheers,
