Taalak under way!

Posted on January 7, 2022January 7, 2022 By Mike No Comments on Taalak under way!
Kayak Building, Taalak

I think I made about 6-7 models with paper and cardboard.

I’ve finally tweaked the design to where I’m happy and brave enough to start cutting real wood.

After modifications I’m looking at a max beam around 33″ and total length of 13’1 (I think that’s what I remember)

I know there will be some issues as scaling 2d parts doesnt necessarily make sense for a complex 3d object.

Of course the bulkheads had to be modified to support a cockpit. And the sides raised to be more kayak like.

Marking out panels to be cut. Went with 4mm Okoume for the hull. However I did pick up 3mm panels for bulkheads and maybe the deck.
Getting ready to scarf some panels. Went with 8:1 ratio. The veneer layers didn’t seem to hold up as well as last time. May e my plane was a bit dull. There was also some chipping when fairing the panels to the drawn lines.
Drilled holes and started stitching together hull panels to unfold. NOTE: this is not how to do it. The instructions say to drill holes open, butt panels than stitch
Got to preview the hull shape. Had to take out the stitches to butt the panels together. Also needed additional wood support in the middle
