Construction of the schooner MALABAR IV requires fabricating complex, curved oak frames from seasoned timber sourced from the Tregothnan Estate in Cornwall.0:50 Because the hull design features a wine glass shape with pronounced S-curves, most frames cannot be cut from a single piece of oak.5:08 Instead, the builder joins two separate futtocks using a doubler to achieve the necessary structural strength and curvature.5:27 The process begins by lofting patterns onto the timber, roughing out the shapes with a chainsaw, and planing the pieces.8:01 To achieve the required rolling bevel—the changing angle of the frame face relative to the hull planking—the team uses a bandsaw with a tilting bed.8:50 A counterbalanced, jerry-rigged system involving a lead-filled bucket allows the operator to adjust the table angle smoothly while two assistants feed the long, heavy timbers through the blade.11:11 Precise marking of water lines and buttock lines on the roughed-out frames ensures accurate positioning during final assembly.8:25
