Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Garrett fabricates a custom bowsprit from an 8x8 kiln-dried Douglas fir beam to add structural weight to the bow and improve the vessel's trim.4:18 He determines the taper by marking the beam at six-inch intervals and using a circular saw to make incremental depth cuts, which he then refines with a slick and chisels.16:05 To create a smooth transition at the base, he traces the curve of a bronze anchor roller onto the timber before cutting the corners.10:49 The finished bowsprit tapers from a six-inch diameter at the shoulder to four inches at the tip, where it will eventually mount a bronze star fitting.18:37 This woodworking project serves as a reprieve from the monotonous, heat-intensive task of gluing deck planking.3:40 The added weight of the timber and associated hardware helps balance the boat, which currently floats high at the bow.9:37
