Temptress Build: Year 1

This is the Year 1 video documenting the building process of Temptress a 24 foot mahogany runabout wooden boat. The boat is kitted by Dan Lee Boat Building in the United Kingdom.

@Shapertools
The CNC cutting will be done with the Shaper Origin CNC router:

Love these boat designs, i'd love to build one for myself one day. Great progress so far, I will be following closely.

I know him!! I love the 1 year in review. It is amazing to see how far you have gotten this done. But i know there is a long way to go. Keep up the great work!!

Not for nothing…but if a turned over saw horse during a boat build is the most frustrating part, I’d say hell of a success.

Thank You for posting your progress and Thank You for introducing me to the Shaper Origin. I had no idea that these tools existed. It makes more sense and economical to buy one of these then to have all the pieces cut at a CNC shop. I want to build the Temptress also so, I'll be watching your progress. I just subscribed so I won't miss anything. Good Luck.

Thanks for sharing this with us; very neat project!
I couldn't help but notice that you used a Shaper Origin rather than a table-style CNC. I'm not a fan of it, as the Shaper Origin has two critical disadvantages compared to traditional CNCs: you have to guide it along manually, and it is only capable of doing 2 dimensional routing.

12:57 how much do those Domino traking stickers cost for your hand held CNC router?

Thank you for sharing! What's the spacing between each bulk head, length wise? (I am not sure if I am using the right terminology.)

If you use epoxi and let it cure, and don't clean off rhe amine blush (minimum) or sand, and then glue another layer or anything to it, it's gonna come off very easy. You only mentioned sanding after one layer epoxi once, and your pieces looked very shiny often. I hope you haven't skipped cleaning off rhe amine blich or sanding, especially that stringer you glued up in two steps, and you didn't show any sanding, which would be absolutely necessary on a piece like a stringer.

Very good, but the complexity computer guided router and also of the two bottom stringers and trying to fit them into the frames lost me.

[miles]

How much did all those clamps cost you?

[rcdogmanduh]

Cow bell, that the same as tumble home?

@24:44 I wish I could build this boat. I don’t have the money for it nor the location to build it. Or the tools.
