Clinker Boat Bar FINISHED

This is where we don't want anything but evidence of your finest wood butchering in all its glorious, and photograph laden glory. Bring your finished products or WIP's, we love them all, so long as there's pictures, and plenty of 'em!

Here's a short video showing the flattening of a wide board using a beautiful old trying plane. I'm putting together some stage WIP videos for promoting purposes on platforms like Facebook, Linkedin etc. I will also upgrade my video camera at some point in the future.

Anyway, thought I'd post it as I mentioned this above in a previous post. Not much too see as you've seen the above photos, but at least there is a bit of actual film of shooting the good old beast across a wide board. You can hear the plane successfully shaving through the bumps as it's designed to do.

Just watched it in full HD on YouTube. Big improvement over your previous videos :)

Only comment would be to avoid the flashier transition effects like the big flash of yellow. Go for a style for the whole video rather than use one effect/text style after another.

As always following the woodwork is good too....

Thanks Robert... yes, I agree with you about the flashy transitions. Mrs P likes them and feels confident most women will too - I'm not yet convinced, but we shall see. I've recently made 22 slideshows promoting past commissioned projects, some are straight forward fade-in fade-out made on the timeline, but I also made some in the 'Slideshow Creator' and clicked on the 'Normal' tab. The programme then chooses which fade, although you can change this once you're in timeline mode. I've also used the 'Highlight', 'Montage' and 'Motion' options and I like them. I suppose I wanted to mix up the transition styles a bit so that all the slideshow aren't just on fade-in fade-out, but it might be the way to go.

I've made my templates for opening and ending each slideshow and I'm happy with them - will hopefully become a signature for each film. I'm starting a 'Boost' promotion on Facebook tomorrow - 1 slideshow for each day running for 7 days, predominantly targeting the south including London - will see what happens.

:lol: :lol: Thanks Jim. Indeed, that was rather a swift move from the old trying plane to a thumbs up! Yep, I think Merlin was working his craft there.

I've also just realised, I reckon the yellow flash in this short film must have been sown by good old Capt. Blistering Barnicles - maybe a bit of Derren Brown going on there. :eusa-think:

Aye, next time we're travelling up to Newcastle, I shall buy you that pint chap. :obscene-drinkingcheers:

Greetings Chaps,

I've only worked about 20 hours this week so there's not much progress, but there is some. 8-)

All the hull frames are now made and fitted with the remainder of the plinth, and it's taking on a very nice shape.

The stern is on the right when looking at the bar customer's side, and this bit is a wrap around the right hand reveal.
Image

You can see the actual top is projecting by about 2mm which is for installation tolerance purposes.
Image

This view, also the stern, shows the finished stern will be off vertical as some normally are.
Image

Here is the plinth running through the bar's door. This is now ready for me to start making the actual door - next task.
Image

Image

Inside the bar.
Image

Image

Here's one of the hull frames made from 18mm hardwood ply. The cut outs are for clamping the clinker planks at a later stage.
Image

And all the frames fitted.
Image

Image

The bow - although not showing its outline shape yet.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The small battens are a guide to establish a combination of nice sweeping curves throughout the hull without any kinky jobbies going on. I'm happy with this at the moment but there is a bit of fine tuning to be done yet. All the frames are also splayed down the front edges in line with the bar's top, although the stern frames are slightly more exaggerated (halfway-point-down) to tuck in the bottom planks a wee bit.

Report back soon with the bar door swinging on its hinges.

Cheers,
8-)

Just thought I'd mention... looking over the above photos posted today; it appears the plinth isn't vertical or square from the bench in some places, but this is trick photography because the plinth is spot on square off the bench all the way round.

Oh OK. I thought it was all part of the realism and it was meant to look like the boat was at sea! :lol:

Greetings chaps 8-)

As you know, I've been working my last professional job part time as I also have a part time job due to circumstances and a new career change in the making - explained in this thread; viewtopic.php?f=30&t=3411

This long'ish post is all the woodwork almost complete in the workshop and almost ready for installation, which I shall update once installed within the next week or so.

The last photo in a previous thread (some weeks ago!) was all the structural work pretty much finished excluding the door as thus;
Image

Image

Now on with the door.

This door was quite tricky and the best way to make it was in stages; marking, cutting, assembling, offering it into its opening and so on... It consists of splays in various directions, bends, bows, scribes etc - only the rear panel has parallel sides and even these are splayed. :P

Here it is laying on its back on a stool bench.
Image

Standing on its head.
Image

Image

The plinth just about showing a small section of the overall curvature of the plinth.
Image

And of the hull's base plank - not sure of the correct terminology in boat building terms.
Image

Here is the door in situ viewed from inside the bar.
Image

And from the public's view of the bar.
Image

With the door now ready to hang, here are a couple of photos showing the 4" brass butts now housed and firmly fitted to this heavy door.
Image

Image

The side wall showing the hinge housings cut out by hand. I've also housed the hinge's knuckles into the wall as well.
Image

Door now successfully hung with a few tweaks to do a bit later - now done.
Image

Image

Opening in stages...
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

With the door now swinging, the next stage was making/fitting the clinker planks. I've used 12.5mm birch plywood and as the maximum lengths from the sheet of ply was not going exceed 2.4M, I could only make from bow to the bar door instead of one continuous plank from bow-to-stern. Although no probs... but it would have been easier as one continuous plank per tier.

In order to achieve the horizontal sweep of the planks, I cut each plank at a width/depth of approximately 250mm allowing for a 112mm plank including the rebate. Here is the first plank clamped to the frames ready for marking.
Image

This is my marking gauge which I used as a guide throughout the planking.
Image

Image

And now I have a pencil line to cut to using the jigsaw.
Image

Image

With the first plank's lower edge cut, I offered it on to the frames to check for any adjustments.
Image

Image

Image

With the lower edge good, I then marked parallel for the upper edge and fitted this plank to the frames. Before the final fit, I fine sanded each plank by hand to a 400g.
Image

Image

Image

Image

At this stage, I made a template for the inner line of the bow and marked the first plank before starting plank #2.
Image

Image

Now on with plank #2...

Same as #1, clamped it on to the frames and marked the lower edge ready for cutting.
Image

Image

This photo is actually working on #3 plank - not sure what happened to plank #2 photo, but same principle anyway.
Image

The lower edges from here on are rebated over the top edges of the planks below, so #2 is now rebated ready for a trial fit.
Image

The mock up...
Image

Image

Image

After #2 was fitted, I started to make progress with the others...
Image

Image

This photo shows the door closed with some tweaking required to the lower edges of the planks.
Image

Although each plank is firmly fastened with screws at the top edge which are hidden by the rebates, I still needed to fasten the lower edges and for this, I used copper roofing nails pilot holed. These have worked out so well with fixing and appearance, and before the work is varnished, I shall fine sand each nail head again.

The base rail still needs some finer work with shaping, which I shall do in situ when I make & fit the bow section.
Image

Image

Image

Image

The stern is now separated and rudder is made. The hatch is finished and I just have to finish off the bow which should be tomorrow. All going well, I can upload the final photos of the woodwork complete tomorrow or Tuesday evening. Installation is scheduled for Wednesday & Thursday.

Cheers,
8-)

Wonderful Work Paul!

You will certainly be finishing your woodworking career on a high note with this project!

Do you plan to be continuing with wood in your spare time or is this a clean break/closing the workshop down for good?
