Keel and deck beams went to the boat shed December, 2006. I have been working on this project for about 10 years and have not lost interest in it. My progress continues. I lost two years due to the storm Sandy. My progress on the boat far exceeds the posts on this site.I am going to post pictures showing progress. Bottom line is building is better than blogging.Seacoast Duck 44http://www.blogger.com/profile/13192651094501089926noreply@blogger.comBlogger41125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753753961538882121.post-24945140335013076712018-03-06T09:57:00.002-08:002018-03-06T09:57:30.164-08:00<div class="ygrps-yiv-1728222096MsoNormal" id="yui_3_15_0_2_1520359108656_1188" style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">

I have not lost interest in it and I am continuing to work on it. I lost two years due to Sandy, the major storm the Northeast had 5 years ago, at which time I may have worked on the boat maybe 10 days total. I have not kept up with this Blog and my progress on the boat far exceeds the posts on this site. At this point I am going to post some pictures showing progress and at some time I will go back and explain what I did. Bottom line is my time is better spent on the building of the boat at this point. I would love to get into detail of every aspect of the construction of this boat, however it seems that life just gets in the way. I will however attempt to keep up on construction pictures and answer any questions or comments the viewers may have. Thanks for following.

<span style="text-align: start;">This picture shows the notching of the deck beam at station # 8. The sloping notch is 3" wide and will receive a 3" carlin which will be 2- by's laminated together and run from station # 8 back to the bulkhead at stateroom. The sloping notch is cut into the deck beam deeper at the top of the deck beam, maybe 3/4" and almost flush at the bottom of the deck beam, thus keeping the carlin from sliding down and the carlin top remains flush with the deck beam.</span></div>

The carlin ( the 2 by to the left in the picture below) is above the sheer height thus giving<br />
the gunwale short deck beams a slope or a crown. The gunwale short deck beams are also notched into the first carlin layer with a sloping notch. Each beam is then bolted to the frame and are all the same length giving the carlin the curved shape of the sheer.<br />

And finally the carlin is in and assumes the shape of the boat. The gunwale deck beams can be planned to make a crown and the carlin will need to be beveled to match the crown of the beams. Once in place the carlins and the deck beams provide a strong gunwale. Knees can be put in under these deck beams attaching to the frames. I did not feel that they were necessary.</div>

After the planking and the aft deck beams are installed as well as the forward deck beams, it's time to install the two bulkheads. This bulkhead separates the engine room from the Stateroom. The second bulkhead divides the engine room from the galley.</div>

Now with the top sheer plank off I was able to place the deck beams on the second planking layer and fit the deck beams to the frame. I left a space between the planking and the en of the deck beam. In a wooden boat you want air to circulate.</div>

These beams have come a long way since the start of the project. I get more positive comments on the deck beams from visitors than any other part of the boat. That Tung Oil is great!</div>

Oh no the chine!!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for the notching of the frames for the stringers and the chine. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz8HwrzVbRU82v_3imBNE0mOxMdJli0_NyQZN4RlAX_VegnXRdV8Y6TzHnxe4nC2ZtutSPXrAWXPpNpMizhuq3_XqNf_JwLSvpykUUXpEhQZfn6umBBP9J8T7-LdhxJTIvNF-BEyXTStiX/s1600/Stringer+notches.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz8HwrzVbRU82v_3imBNE0mOxMdJli0_NyQZN4RlAX_VegnXRdV8Y6TzHnxe4nC2ZtutSPXrAWXPpNpMizhuq3_XqNf_JwLSvpykUUXpEhQZfn6umBBP9J8T7-LdhxJTIvNF-BEyXTStiX/s320/Stringer+notches.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The frames were notched 1.5" deep by 3.5" wide to receive a DF 2x4 stringer from stem to stern and from the keel to the chine on about 18" on center. This I did by putting multiple blades on a skill saw and cutting back and forth till the notch was made. After the notching was completed I placed tar in the notch and clamped on long 2x4's and nailed and screwed the in place. Lot of work over head but with the sand and sawdust floor it was easy on the knees.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now to the Chine. As you see the frames were notched for the chine on the frame table. THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE IN MY OPINION. I found that most of the pre-cut notches were not even close and had to be re-cut. They also made the laying out of the chine more difficult. I wasted a lot of time using this method. if I was to do this again I would not cut the notches in the frames till they were in place. Then run a batten around the boat where the chine is to be cut in. Mark it and cut the notches then. Much easier!!!<br />

Once the frames were put together on the frame table with temporary cross bracing and a temporary top chord it was time to put the frames up. I had left the floor timbers long to be cut off flush with the frames later. This made it easy for me to raise and attach the frames without help. Once the frames were up they would slide down over the keel to top of the rabbit. I would clamp the to the floors in place.

Once all the beams were completed I ran them through the planer on both sides. Sanded the underneath of the beam and rounded the edge slightly. I put trunnels every 10 inches by drilling 3/8" holes from the top down through the layers to mid-point of the lower layer. I then drove a 3/8" dowel with glue into the hole for extra strength. The final touch was to coat the beams with a coat or two of Tung Oil.

We placed 2.5" oak flooring over the last layer with 2 - 1/2" threaded rod on both sides of the beam, put 2 washers and a couple of nuts on the rod and tighten the nuts down till snug, working from the center toward the end. An air impact lug driver worked well. Once all the clamps we tight we would recheck and re-tighten, again working from center to end.<br />

Again, two beams could be done at one glue session. One galley or pilot house beam and one aft deck beam. With 22 beams to be made they were completed in less than a month. Each gluing session took about 2 hrs. Planning the 5/4 stock took longer than the lamination of the beam.Seacoast Duck 44http://www.blogger.com/profile/13192651094501089926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753753961538882121.post-42291380962099699242014-01-28T15:24:00.002-08:002014-01-28T15:24:42.641-08:00Deck and Cabin Beams<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The deck and cabin beams were the first thing I made on the boat. I figured they were easy to do in my garage , they were easy to work with and if I didn't enjoy building them, than most likely I would have abandon the project. ( I loved it!!!!)</div>

I decided to laminate my deck and cabin beams as apposed to saw cutting them. To do this I made two forms to bend and glue my material. The forms were cut out to the shape of the deck and cabin beams. I used two 2 x 12 standing on end and a 2 x 6 bottom cord. I then drilled holes in the cord every 6" on both sides of the curved 2"x 12", fastened 1/2" threaded rod to the bottom cord. I made some clamping blocks out of oak hardwood flooring which would be used to clamp down the layers of wood, glue and hold in place till cured. I used 5 layers of 5/4" by 3" western red cedar glued with Titebond II. Below you see the rods, and the layers of cedar to be glued. By putting waxed paper over the form, the beam would not stick to the form. Once each layer was glued I would crank down on the hardwood flooring blocks using an impact diver till tight. I would glue up one cabin and one deck beam in a night and let set up for at least 24 hours. I have 22 beams total. There are more cabin beams than deck beams and the cabin beams have less crown. <br />

Once the keel was set and sealed it was time for the floors to be attached. Each floor was made from 2- 2"x 12" laminated and nailed . They were drilled and placed over the keel bolts at each station, bolted down using ogee washers. Later the frames will be attached to these floors. Station spacing on the Duck is 2 feet with no intermediate frames.Seacoast Duck 44http://www.blogger.com/profile/13192651094501089926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753753961538882121.post-49278834026460369042013-01-31T15:04:00.002-08:002015-12-29T10:14:51.773-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another picture of the keel on her side. This shows the double 1/2" keel bolts at the rear of the boat to accommodate the keel shaft that runs through the middle of the keel in this area. You can also see the come-along I've chained to the keel which I used to raise and lower her onto her side. Using this method I could do this without help. At this point the keel is bolted together with the exception of the stem and the transom stem. The black lines are tar which was put between the main members or sections of the keel.Tar has been used in boat building for centuries.Seacoast Duck 44http://www.blogger.com/profile/13192651094501089926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753753961538882121.post-3688026468906182002012-08-16T20:43:00.000-07:002012-08-16T20:43:28.507-07:00The Rabbet<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another picture of the keel on it's side getting a coat of thin epoxy. This shows the rabbet which I cut with a skill saw, lots of chiseling and lots of grinding with a 4" grinder and course flap discs. The rabbet is a notch in the keel which will receive the planking at the angle of the bottom of the boat, which changes as you go from stem to stern. To make a rabbet in a keel you first mark out the rabbet line taken from the keel patterns at each station. Put a finishing nail at each mark and run a long batten spanning each nail, scribe the batten and you have a rabbet line. Next figure your planking thickness and and measure up that amount and repeat the process you did for the rabbet line, scribe it and you have the bearding line. Then you cut along the bearding line at an angle you get from the lofting and plans to the ghost line. That line is an imaginary line which is at a 90 degree angle from the rabbet to the bearding line. Once the bearding line is cut, you cut or chisel from the rabbet line at a 90 degree angle up to the bearding line and like magic the rabbet is formed. Then you take your grinder and grind away the bumps and make it nice and even. It's sort of like the old question: How do you carve an elephant out of a rock? You chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant!Seacoast Duck 44http://www.blogger.com/profile/13192651094501089926noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4753753961538882121.post-90495562196485724672012-08-13T11:43:00.001-07:002012-08-13T11:43:50.618-07:00Keel Bolts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once the keel parts all fit it was time to bolt them together with homemade keel bolts.For this I purchased some 3/4" galvanized rod and threaded both ends. Each rod would go through the center of the keel at each location of a floor. So each rod measurement changed due to the varying height of the keel at each station location. The rod was the height of the keel plus the height of the floors which are 2 - 2"x10" laminated together. I added about 2.5" for the the ogee washer and nut. Drilling the holes through the keel is a nerve racking labor. First it requires a lot of hunting to locate a bit long enough to drill through 2' to 3' of keel and at some points 5' of keel. Then if you are not plumb with your drill and bit it can blow out the side and that sucks. Around the shaft log is another "hole" issue. I elected to put two 1/2" bolts on both sides of the shaft at each location thus doubling the amount of holes to be drill and upping the potential for a disaster. Fortunately I only had the bit wonder one time and come out about an 1.5" up the face of the keel from it's bottom. I simply plugged it with a dowel and glue and re-drilled it. Worked fine. Once all the holes were drilled I separated each keel part and placed a layer of roofing tar between the parts, clamped them down and using a pipe to fit over the top portion of the bolt where the floors will go, tightened each keel bolt. This picture shows the keel on it's side and the keel bolts in place, tightened and ready for the floors. The keel is on it's side so I could hold the bottom nuts of the keel bolt to tighten the top nut. While on its side I coated it with thin epoxy and it's proved to be beneficial. Have no cracks,checks or gaps to date.Seacoast Duck 44http://www.blogger.com/profile/13192651094501089926noreply@blogger.com1
