filming boat

Step 5 Carpentry

I was lucky enough to have have had built and tested before a paperboard model i tested and gave me the occasion to see in which order the wood should be applied : I put first the strongest boards of woods that have the less chance to be hit by the rock while in the water (so the belly, the ass ; the front of the boat being the more exposed), and than I use this strong support to construct the digonal sides, and finally the sides.

belly and bottom : 15mm plywood
diagonal sides and sides : 9mm plywood

All wood glued with polyurethane expansive glue (to prevent water infiltration)
The wood panels wer fixed to the frame with auto-perforating screws (make proper preparation holes, with an inferior diameter).
