Hi Mark , I nearly bit my knuckles off when you ended up with the gap at the front of the coaming. Especially after all the frustration of steaming it into shape. I thought it had dried and shrunk over night as timber can sometimes do. I never thought of the epoxy causing the issue, but when you said you had made a slightly thicker mix , it made sense. It basically increased the circumference of the coaming which didn't match the inner circumference of the trim piece. I got a tip from a painter I used to work with in relation to varnishing a flat surfaces. You might know of this already. I had just taken delivery of ten white oak veneered door for my house. He told me to varnish them on the flat, thin the first coat slightly and on the final coat in particular; use a hand spray bottle with the nozzle tweaked to the finest mist you could get ang spray a mist of thinners on the varnish about ten to fifteen minutes after you had finished rolling the varnish. Any bubbles would disappear and the surface should be smooth as glass. It worked a treat. I used a similar idea when building 1/20 scale model Formula 1 cars. I'd spray a final coat of gloss varnish and clean the airbrush out. I'd then spray over the semi soft varnish from about 18 inches with thinners, tow or three seconds worth I might add, and it eliminated the orange peel effect. That 2.4 M is looking better by the week.

In wooden boat building you constantly encounter the ancient battle between Excellence & Perfection. Skill, practice, patience, and the right tools for the job will get you excellent results for the hours invested. If you want perfection, double (or even triple) those hours. Most people don't want to, or can afford to, pay the invoice on perfection while they rarely notice the difference between excellence and perfection in the final product.

Yes, very well said. As the builder you need to find a balance between your desires and the customer’s satisfaction. Those can be a long way apart and you can easily find yourself footing the bill for the difference. I often have.

@@Nomadboatbuilding You are not alone. I think you have also to set and achieve your own standards of excellence that are acceptable to yourself, in order to be able to derive a small sense of satisfaction in your own workmanship. In the absence of that challenge I find that an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction makes the whole exercise barely worthwhile at all. Guess I’m a lousy capitalist, hey-ho. PS. She’s looking gorgeous.

While you were dry finessing the coaming I was curious how you would account for the thickness of the epoxy glue. Turns out even a pro can get surprised. It helps me to get around my less than perfect wood working.

I think I was focusing on the position of the lip on the coaming and thinking bout it’s affect on the size. Maybe I also just clamped it on a hair higher in the glue up too.

Mark I absolutely love watching you work and I learn something every single time I watch a video - even if I'm re-watching it. I'm curious whether, if you could re-do it, routing the coaming sheer prior to steaming and application would be preferred? Or does it mess with the fitting/clamping? I would naively assume that overall it's less scary to work the router straight, with a backing, and that maybe removing some volume from the strip would even help the wood bend? Just curious in case I do anything like this one day.
@Nomadboatbuilding

That’s an excellent question. I certainly thought about moulding it before bending but I think I decided that I preferred to leave it square for clamping. Plus I planned to add the capping so it would only have been one corner that got moulded anyway. Certainly doing the moulding after bending was a little sketchy and I often do the moulding before bending but it's all really situational.

Whenever we`re bonding panels together, we usually allow a few thou for glue thickness, so, considering the length of the coming strip, if you add a few thou over that length, it`s no surprise you had a gap. All those thous add up to a significant amount over the length of the coming.

800 hrs is pretty close to a half a years worth of labour. The person commissioning this boat must be paying a pretty penny. Given overhead, materials and labor, even if you were doing this at minimum wage, it is going to be a hefty total for a small sailboat.

Wouldn't a decent tenon saw or dovetail saw have been better than a trashed Japanese saw for cutting that mitre? Couldn't you have taken a plane to the inner face of that lipping to make the mitre fit again? Congratulations on getting to the end of the hull construction. I hope we're going to see the mast, rigging and so on.
