Thank you Brian! It surely will be very strong! And a great method for amateurs like us.

Hello there! Hopefully you enjoy the rest! The plastic nails gun is actually an American company that invented it or atleast started it. It’s a fantastic thing!

That would actually be so handy if the gun got an automatic nail feed! We could have gone even faster that way! Jokes aside, it really is a handy machine for this purpose! Thanks for sharing a joke!

Oh thank you beautiful friend! We always work faster and happier with your tunes playing!

Thank you Kim for the lovely comment!

Thank you Marcus!

Thank you so much, that's such a very nice thing to say!

Wow thank you so much for your enthusiastic response! Good luck with your build and have lots of fun with it!

I know you're excited but you don't have to YELL!

Wow what a compliment! Thanks so much

Thats a Lovely feedback Jason we do enjoy working together a lot!

Thank you! It sure is a new look for us too, very nice after looking at the strip planking all last year.

That's so true, every plank seems to have a different curve it needs to bend to. It's tricky but it's working!

@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River should be nearly bullet proof too.

We hope so! The thought was that we will never regret going the extra mile to make her stronger. We can only really regret not spending the time and money on her seaworthiness and this method will hopefully give that peace of mind in rough weather conditions! Are you happy with the result on your Haven? Sounds like a really cool project!

@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River very happy with the Haven. I did loads of video of the build. here is a clip of sailing "Enchanted" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqykhJV8y9fXeqM.html

Awesome!! We will go and watch them! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks! Yes it was very exciting and addictive, you just want to keep putting them on!

Thank you Roger! The plastic nail gun is really pulling though and we are happy we gave it a go! I think we will be thanking that decision in the future. We were also surprised and pleased how fair the laminations are curving and bending along the lines. Thank you for leaving a comment!

Thanks Kenneth it's such a strong method! We won't have to worry about her hull strength in a bit of weather!

Thank you Bengt!

Thank you Nena! Happy you enjoyed the process and the results!

Thank you! That's so nice to say!

What an honour to have you watching our video! (We obviously closely follow you and your amazing work). Our first layer are 25mm/30mm +/-. It is surprisingly quick to cold mould, we expect less than a week to finish stbd side and that’s including machining stock and hull prep with only the two of us! Cheers, Matt and Iefke.

Thank you Martin!

Great to hear! Thanks for watching. We tried to find your channel but couldn’t work out what it’s called?

@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River thanks it’s called “Our French House Renovation” cheers

Thank you Glenn

Thanks mate! Hopefully quality and content is improving also, we’re trying!

Thank you Nicolas!

We are so excited about it too! No corrosion no troubles!

Hi Tim! Good question, in boatbuilding there is always 300 ways to do something! This is the advice of the designer and she was designed for this method. Diagonal planking has been used for many years for different types of vessels. At work we are working in a 45ft boat from 1898 that has three layers of diagonal planking!

Ooooh a tricky one, we made our own veneer from 75mm x 35mm hardwood, we ripped them into 4 pieces. It’s on the verge of not being a veneer at 5mm but we did really search around for veneer company as money was tight! Haha

Tasmania is an Aussie Island southeast of Australia's main island\continent

We really enjoyed the cold moulding process. It's relatively easy for amateurs like us. Hope you start your build and let us know when you do!

Thanks for the thumps up!

Ooooh that’s a tricky one, we try not to think about it to be honest. Never actually kept a tally

It's all Tasmanian Oak!

@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River Eucalyptus regnans, or one of the other two that go by the same name (delegatensis or obliqua)? I ask because several species of Victorian eucalyptus hardwoods are called "Tassie Oak on the mainland; the naming seems more about marketing than geography! Go Tasmania!

Yes it's a funny one! It's often difficult to know what sub species we are using as the mill gets the log and its usually hard to tell at that point. Our fore and aft planning was all swamp gum - Regan's which we saw before being cut.

@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River Thank you. We do not have these timbers here-you are fortunate. Keep going! I've subscribed.

It's Tasmanian oak as well! We don't know the specific sub species we used for the veneers unfortunately, most likely a collection of the main species. The fore and aft strip planks where Tasmanian swamp gum. Thanks for watching Alexander!

Ignorance is bliss! No worries, plywood is firstly not long enough in sheets.. when water gets between plywood it goes crazy with rot. And it won’t be as strong length ways ones it’s cut into thinner pieces… but we did contemplate it at one brief point haha!

@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River you two are doing a fantastic job job - One of my favorite boats combined with my favorite hull construction technique! I live in the Pacific Northwest where a cold-molded Bob Perry-designed yacht named the Nightrunner has dominated its' class in Victoria>Maui and local races and proved its seaworthiness by "doubling" the Horn - Beautiful, light, strong, and durable.

Yes we gave that some serious thought as you said we could have gone the other way and most diagonal boats have a couple of diagonal layers so it doesn’t matter as much. We based this choice on when Tarkine pounds into the sea she has a heap of strength transferred to the stem and we can also run the diagonals nicely from the stem post to top of transom.. And it looked better, which is generally the way to go.

@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River Thanks for the reply, and good luck with the rest of the build.

Our priority was making sure the veneer was nailed down everywhere it needed to be. They are roughly equal distance! Haha but they will be covered with fibreglass and only there to hold the veneer while the epoxy cures.

Made my raptor nails, an American company, heap of info on the internet but they basically melt slightly when they go in and work almost like glue!

Hmmm a valid point but we never saw that as a concern, with a thin veneer it so impregnated with epoxy it’s basically bullet proof, we run over all the nail holes with thickened epoxy also. Epoxy wood boat building! Ahah

A company called Braford industries in Australia

There is plenty to do! Help is always very much appreciated!

Oh yes, lucky they are plastic and we don’t have a budget! Haha

@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River nice

@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River I actually thought about using the "leave-in" plastic fastener method on the next cold molded runabout I build. It seems more efficient and less time consuming than the usual "washer/screw while the epoxy dries" method. What do you think?

Yep! Plastic fasteners are the best, they pin it all together while the glue cures and then they are easy to sand off the heads later! Good idea

Oh sad.. you didn’t have time to read the description or see our first video in the 4.5 minutes?

@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River My comment was intended as a hint for you: it might help your channel if you pay attention to clear explanations as to what you are doing. Maybe start every video with an introduction. It should not be necessary for any viewer to go back to a description that comes with the first video in the series. Having seen the rather short description under this video, and the poor or even absent explanation of what was going on in this video, I had no reason whatsoever to expect something more elaborate with the first one. On most channels, quality of the videos improves over time, partly because the creators take some of the comments from their viewers into account.

see ya.

She’s called Ninie, and looking for a good home!
