OMG.......That's all I can say. I'm stuned you've got so much done.View attachment 1816770View attachment 1816771Shape are all locked in now it’s just down to all the fiddly little bits and tha mast.
She's doing fine the way she's building the boat. Filmzy knows what she's doing. I doubt she'll have any leaks. The mast is an interesting part of both Orca 1 and 2. Orca 1 the mast was round and a real wooden mast off of an old Ywal. Orca 2's mast was an oval shape mast off of (are you ready?) a Hobbie Cat.
Here's some Jaws and Orca 1 and 2 fun. On YouTube The Daily Jaws just did an hour long interview with Marty Milner who helped build Orca 1 and 2 plus other Jaws props and buildings.I'm not criticizing, just spitballing ideas. This build is amazing.
A Hobie Cat mast? Wouldn't that be an aluminum or fiberglass tube?
If that was workable enough for the Orca #2 then I wonder why they didn't use the same thing on the Orca#1. Seems like it would have reduced the stability problem.
He would have finished by now an on to the next thingWow...fast building here flimzy Are you using "GEEK1138 Speed-building tricks"?
Looking so cool already Right you are: when do you stop being too neat for that kind of look?Epoxy has gone off sanding it back now, Here's where I find out if I've over done things. I need it to keep that rough planky look and not end up like a smooth surf board, which meant not being too neat with the planking, then not being too neat with the sanding an filling. Its so hard not to sand it all smooth its something in our brains, that tactile thing. but totally wrong for this old lady.
