BOAT – 2013
This work is the designing-making project of a 2.4 metre timber boat. An extensive amount of research and trial and error went into constructing the design from the ground up. Including initial ideation sketches, SketchUp technical drawings, making an instrument to steam bend timber, application of fibreglass on marine ply and the implementation of front and rear transoms, gunwales and seats. The recycled red gum rustic finish contrasts with the high gloss white hull creating an image of new meets old. Knowing the amount of work that went into the assignment it was none the more satisfying to finally see the finished product float.
