samaster 2

Today for the start of samaster 2 we were talking about the new project, which is called: Rob Shaw Design.

We talked about that we hv 14 weeks to finish the boat in.
That were gana be useing red cedar.
We have 8mm Planking.
Beam at 2.4m.
LoA ( length over all ) 5.5m.
All the materials that we use have to be writen down in the Materian Book.
The frames on the boat were made on a CnC Mashine.

After we talked about the boat every 1 got given a Main Task to do. Mine is Topside Foam.

As for the start today we  cleaned the working area where were gana make the boat at. Me and Greg moved the benches in order to give us more working area around the boat.
Once we cleaned the working area we went out to do jobs for the boat, every 1 got given there own tasks by the person incharge on the Main task( setting up ).

Me and Taz got the task give to cut out the Gussets. We had to cut 12 peaces of wood that were 500mm Long. We used the Blocking Wood Method in order to get the same measurements for every timber we cut.
The blocking wood method is when you get a peace of timber ( any kind ) and clamp it to the bench u want to cut on so every time you want to cut the same length you just slide the timber up to the blocked wood.

After we found out the Width of the Gussets for each station we went to cut out each of the Gussets to the right measurements.

Once we finished cutting out the Gussets to the correct measurements we went back up to the lofting floor an handed them over to Jade and Sabastian who were incharge of glueing the Gussets onto the Sections.

The gussets were held into place by 8 Screws 4 on each side over the CL, and it also had some PVA glue.
