OK, let’s get started. SourceRuns boat project. I and my friend have decided to make a boat of flywood with the SourceRuns theme. We are going to use a boat building method called “Stitch and glue”. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stitch\_and\_glue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stitch_and_glue) This method requiers no carcass and even a lot of spanthouts to seal boards, the transom and the bottom. Firstly, we’ve made a big 1:1 scaled draft with different parts of the boat. [spoiler] ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/7/73ceedecb860fedc6baab3e8a8742a1674b28ae5.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/c/c022ceb132038d2b5758bbc08d21500593d8171a.jpeg)(the lines can be seen hardly) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/e/ebb0180c0c9c71997c70e13d18073817c760cd07.jpeg)[/spoiler] There are some parts of the boat which will be copied on flywood panels and then cut. After that - starting building! Sliced panels, bars and planks; epoxy resin and fumed silica (yes lol); glass fiber + 4 hands = boat almost done. The last part gonna be pressurization and painting the whole boat into black-orange SourceRuns theme. Сharacteristics[sup]1[/sup]: Max size - 110 x 230cm Board height - 60cm (62.11) Mass - 20-50 kg (unknown exaclty). Crew - 2 + 1. Max waterline height - about 40cm (unknown exactly). Deadweight - about 500 kg (will be known exactly when I find out max waterline height OpieOP). [sup]1[/sup] - they will be refined soon In addition, we are going to make a mast and a tiller with a simple steering system; two “trunks” to store things. Every day when we do our project, we record videos and take photos to make timelapse/image montage video at the end. In the video all days’ progress will be explained. Here in this topic I will post some images showing what we have done. Starting from this point, the project is probably going to take about a month. Feel free to ask any questions in this topic. If some words here are unclear, ask me too. ---

BIG UPDATE! On 27th and 28th of May, we started building! We copied the blueprints on the plywood and have cut some pieces of the boat: the bottom, middle-shaphout and two boards (for now they are collapsed). All videos and photos from those two days are over 25 GB in total! ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/e/e46b38e15e65b835f18758064d9c4a92c7f0ed16.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/f/f80da18c546945e415f300c3d39ae5c85cac638b.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/c/c954badbbcbbe254ac0edafa26e7aa461a4bbc17.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/0/027447fd55bb4e39218a63f27d9cf0d291234f78.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/c/c8e84b2b914b529b0dee6e7701d0052dadb855c6.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/f/f0f52191e870f7dd1ebc5d1e4df7d2313b9d1609.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/b/b3b9fcbd2d21e4c7117a4cd23019413ef834cd3d.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/5/512ec3e164bcde271c580d90cc6d025255081bbe.jpeg) ---

Another 2-day update (8th and 9th). We cleared the outside of the bottom; made 3 more shpanhouts (frames) (7 in total); made the big (one on the back) frame to be as an entry to the “trunk”; glued the big (back) frame and one middle frame. ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/d/d0ca7268f0b02d58bce4405d921d86774769f94f.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/6/6f54471de4a4544273b45b976d3c79e52b60ac5e.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/b/bf7fe95f2050c8f03eeb60e0cf0233e756f8eff7.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/2/2134e37d9d33efa8baa807db1c64c4b0a221830d.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/8/8055af5ec69e94317dd0516af42a90c4c33e25b3.jpeg) ![](https://forum-content.sourceruns.org/original/2X/6/6892eb4e76cde163695430a6e98f1eeb8b920902.jpeg) ---
