"She is my Rudder"
CNC Pattern Making and Sodium Silicate Sand Casting Bronze

Building the Keels – Part 6
The winged keels are attached to the hull but their is much more to do. Big origami boats are not "frameless", the frames just come after the hull skin rather than before. We need the frames to strengthen the keels. ...and some better welding wouldn't h...

Water level, digital level, rotating laser level, plumb bob, and measuring twice or more ...it's all about getting the keels right before the finish cutting is done.
Building the Keels – Part 3
Actually building a keel now. There will be two keels; one on each side. And they each have a wing. Twin keels help keep our draft down so we don't scrape bottom going down the Arkansas River. They also let us pull up into a bay and sit upright on the ...

Origami Boat Building – Bulkheads – Part 1 – Layout
We've settled on 4 watertight bulkheads in our 75ft motor sailer. These serve to both stiffen the hull as well as add safety as the boat will likely remain afloat even if one of the sections is flooded, as well as helping to isolate fumes, smoke, and fire...
Origami Boat Building – Spreading Her Open
We're building a 75ft steel motorsailor using the origami building process. In this video we open the hull up to set the beam dimensions, level it, do some check measurements, and talk about what we could have done differently.
Origami Boat Building – Folding the Hull – Part 4
