The project offers a huge variety of interesting work - an excellent opportunity to teach a whole range of boatbuilding skills.<br />
For 2014, we are planning a series of short workshops giving participants the opportunity to learn the details of professional boat restoration and boatbuilding.<br />

Various enthusiastic learners participated in our series of workshops during the year in which we built a replica step by step. The boat is now fully planked - ready to be timbered out. Experience the exciting technique of steaming solid oak ribs and gunwhales in our upcoming workshop!<br />

The following is the procedure we follow and teach to participants of our workshops. It is the way learned it from our<a href="http://www.ibtc.co.uk/" target="_blank"> inspiring teachers at IBTC.</a><br />
<br />
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEO2yx7DkxJ_8X2MODW__UUtkF1jBqA4GurHyomSfDsqDbybToGRR2k4WrgW9Dg6vfkZeOeXys8mOadKmZCYj2RMF97hoor2rpO0C3gEg8OqbPUPEesF7SLkefWloAYkac0PDAZVjC5uFY/s320/003.JPG" width="320" /></div>
<br />
A spile board is prepared - ideally this is a straight grained plank thicknessed to 5 or 6mm. Pieces can be joined ( with temporary screws) to make up the whole length of the boat - but best results are obtained if the spile board is one piece and fits the desired position approximately.<br />
It is pegged into place carefully, using clamps only at the bow and transom. Adjustements are made until removing a peg does not cause the board to bulge or slip out of position.<br />
<br />
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNIM1diJNr8DHrzVcs55IiOlhdYvZSthSYAcdFGocbQY2TtFW7hdy3rjC6WEAy8e2B5Ms7m_fJFtP5QqGh-nNFiMppz8sW0OXM532p6AMnhk0JNqVuDwvZsRBlDyJRWU01g8ttTaqFVIkH/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNIM1diJNr8DHrzVcs55IiOlhdYvZSthSYAcdFGocbQY2TtFW7hdy3rjC6WEAy8e2B5Ms7m_fJFtP5QqGh-nNFiMppz8sW0OXM532p6AMnhk0JNqVuDwvZsRBlDyJRWU01g8ttTaqFVIkH/s320/005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Care is taken that the spile board comes up to the moulds and that it lies fair on the lap of the previous plank.<br />
From the inside of the boat, a pencil line is marked along the top edge of the previous plank.<br />
Each mould position is marked.<br />
The stem angle is marked using a dummy stick along the rabbet.<br />
<br />
The spile board is then removed and placed onto the lumber. Using a dummy stick, the top edge of the previous plank is marked out. Plank widths are measured at the mould positions, stem and transom. These marks are then faired with a batten.<br />
<br />
The plank is then cut out on the bandsaw, planed to shape and thicknessed.<br />
The <a href="http://boatbuildingskills.blogspot.com/p/rebates-and-brows-in-clinker-planking.html" target="_blank">forward brow</a> ( bottom edge) is cut, and the overlap is marked all along the inner, bottom edge of the plank. It is then offered up to the boat and adjusted until it fits.<br />
<br />
The plank is then removed. The top edge diminishing rebates are cut fore and aft and the aft bottom edge brow is planed on. <a href="http://boatbuildingskills.blogspot.com/p/rebates-and-brows-in-clinker-planking.html" target="_blank">For more details click here.</a><br />
<br />
The inside of the plank is sanded and the top inside edge is chamfered.<br />
A bedding compound such as sikaflex is used at stem and transom.<br />

The students of our last workshops have built a beautiful backbone and fitted those tricky gardboards. Join us in our upcoming workshop on traditional clinker planking.<br />
Learn how to:<br />
~ Mark out the planking widths to ensure beautiful lines.<br />
~ spile to obtain the true shape of a plank<br />
~ plane rebates and brows<br />
~ "clink" copper nails to fasten the planking together.<br />
<br /><br />
All shaping, planing and cutting will be carried out using hand tools - <u>some prior knowledge of basic hand skills is required.</u><br />

It is essentially the skill of drawing an irregular 3D shape in full sized detail and is therefore of interest to a wide range of disciplines such as Technical Drawing, Construction, Woodwork, Craft and Design.</div>We will provide you with the knowledge and skill required to create drawings suitable for pattern and mould making, which are required to start building a boat. This workshop will be followed by a series of others designed to lead participants through the whole process of building a boat.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Tools,materials and course notes will be provided.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
