Louis Sauzedde reinforces the joint between the keel and forefoot of the wooden boat Orca by installing a custom-fitted white oak spanner.1:29 Because the angle of the scarf joint limits its length, the spanner bridges the connection to provide structural integrity.1:12 Sauzedde traces the joint directly onto the timber to ensure a precise fit without using a pattern.1:46 He cuts the curved piece using a 7.5-horsepower ship saw, which allows the blade to tilt while the table remains stationary, maintaining a consistent distance from the fence.6:06 After cutting, he uses an electric planer to smooth the surface, working downhill to prevent grain tear-out.10:01 The spanner is positioned to be bolted through the scarf and the surrounding timber, with future plans to notch frames into the piece.2:21 The next phase of construction involves joining the stem and forefoot using a gripe to further secure the assembly.12:36
