Traditional Clinker Boats: On old vices, new media and timeless techniques.
http://clinkerboats.blogspot.com/2012/12/on-old-vices-new-media-and-timeless.html
Ramblings about clinker boats, boat building, sailing and anything that seems vaguely related. Sunday, 2 December 2012. On old vices, new media and timeless techniques. Chris Schwarz, owner of Lost Art Press. And Editor-at-large of Popular Woodworking magazine, has a bit of a thing for leg vices. Though he calls them vises. It's a 'murican thing. Last night after a lovely day out with our nephew in Greenwich I sent Chris a picture of the carpenter's vice we saw on the Cutty Sark. Much of the bright work ...

Traditional Clinker Boats: February 2013
http://clinkerboats.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Ramblings about clinker boats, boat building, sailing and anything that seems vaguely related. Saturday, 16 February 2013. I've been procrastinating about the next step in the build - subtracting the plank thickness from lines of the moulds (I can procrastinate about anything). Kopanycia has two suggestions. I'm not keen on either. My father suggested a third solution which is much more elegant and I'm giving it a go. Amid the resharpening of tools and the mountain of chips created I didn't take any pict...

Traditional Clinker Boats: June 2011
http://clinkerboats.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Ramblings about clinker boats, boat building, sailing and anything that seems vaguely related. Thursday, 30 June 2011. Suggested that "the painstaking amateur can build a superior wooden boat if he makes the effort.". I hope he's right! This blog will chart a course through my own attempt to build a clinker dinghy and as I gather resources I hope it will serve others who may consider doing the same. Who knows where it might end:.

Traditional Clinker Boats: December 2011
http://clinkerboats.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Ramblings about clinker boats, boat building, sailing and anything that seems vaguely related. Saturday, 24 December 2011. I'm starting to feel like I'm actually building a boat. Having lofted the stem full size I've made a pattern to send to BTS Wales. So that they can find me a grown Oak crook. Thanks for the tip. It takes as long to do it as explain it. A few minutes with a jigsaw (please Santa, bring me a bandsaw) and I have a rather ragged template. Thursday, 22 December 2011. Boat of the week #9.

Traditional Clinker Boats: Lofting in anger
http://clinkerboats.blogspot.com/2012/08/lofting-in-anger.html
Ramblings about clinker boats, boat building, sailing and anything that seems vaguely related. Wednesday, 15 August 2012. After a seven month hiatus there's finally something to show. Not a lot, I admit and it took a surprising amount of work to get this far. The best part of a day to get the MDF boards in and nail them down, then paint them white. The tools, from left to right:. Carpenter's square - hardly used for this. Chalk line and blue chalk to establish the datum. Large pair of compasses. Traditio...

Traditional Clinker Boats: There may be trouble ahead
http://clinkerboats.blogspot.com/2012/08/there-may-be-trouble-ahead.html
Ramblings about clinker boats, boat building, sailing and anything that seems vaguely related. Thursday, 16 August 2012. There may be trouble ahead. I need better kneepads. And knees. A better pair of eyes wouldn't go amiss either. I've spent the day dancing around my lofting floor in on oddly contorted waltz. As I loft some of the skill of the designer becomes apparent. The rabbet line is not a measurable and consistent distance down from the top of the keel. In order to plot it on the lofting I hav...

Traditional Clinker Boats: And relax...
http://clinkerboats.blogspot.com/2012/09/and-relax.html
Ramblings about clinker boats, boat building, sailing and anything that seems vaguely related. Sunday, 2 September 2012. The last job to do before taking up the lofting boards was to develop the stem sections. This makes for the most fabulously confused drawing:. All that just to find out at what angle the planking meets the stem. Wednesday, September 12, 2012 8:04:00 am. Good to see you started. I thought youd given up! All this lofting makes you wonder how the village yards managed in the past? It wasn...

Traditional Clinker Boats: Boat of the week #10
http://clinkerboats.blogspot.com/2012/01/boat-of-week-10.html
Ramblings about clinker boats, boat building, sailing and anything that seems vaguely related. Sunday, 15 January 2012. Boat of the week #10. Seen at the London Boat Show. A brand new Stirling and Son 9' clinker dinghy built by Will Stirling over the last 7 days. I left my visit to the boat show until nearly the end hoping to see Will finishing the planking. It seems he was much too quick for me! Riser installed for the thwarts. I must find the name for this). Boat of the week. Duck Trap Woodworking - USA.

Traditional Clinker Boats: July 2011
http://clinkerboats.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Ramblings about clinker boats, boat building, sailing and anything that seems vaguely related. Sunday, 31 July 2011. I've been dipping into Lodestar Books' republication of Francis B. Cooke's Cruising Hints. It's an enormous and engrossing read and ideal when the weather is miserable and I can't get to the boat. When I've got time to do it justice I'll review it properly. Is actually not that far from a design that I'm in love with at the moment. That's quite a tall order. I really like the plumb bow on ...
