Cosa tratta questo video

Ben shapes the keel and rabbet of the schooner MALABAR IV using traditional hand tools, specifically an adze and an axe.1:06 The process involves removing large amounts of timber to establish the primary structure before transitioning to finer tools for precision work.3:47 To ensure an accurate fit for the garboard plank, the builder relies on measurements taken from the loft floor.6:40 However, he leaves extra material, or "meat," at the transitions between the keel, stem, and stern post.7:22 This allowance permits final shaping in the real world once the stem and stern post are installed and a jig representing the planking can be offered up to the structure.7:34 The project faces significant challenges due to the high cost of materials and the substantial time commitment required for wooden boat construction.5:44 Success depends on balancing lofted two-dimensional data with physical adjustments during assembly.8:28
