Really liking the idea of having a bath in the sole of the cargo hold. :)

The next video will be a while; just a lot of welding and grinding, and now it's covered with ice. Join us on FaceBook for latest photos, and we are starting on an ROV. https://www.facebook.com/groups/svseeker/

CNC Pattern Making and Sodium Silicate Sand Casting Bronze
Making custom metal parts can save you a lot of money but it's very rewarding in a strangely primeval way. If you don't love building, don't build big. See our website for more details: http://www.svseeker.com/casting_furnaces.htm

Skeg and Rudder – Part 2 – Skeg Frames
The Summer Solstice ushered in our hot weather this year but we're happy to have a big transom to provide some shade while we frame up our skeg. There is considerable lateral force on the skeg so we've decided to add 3 frames that will later be reinforced...
Skeg and Rudder – Part 1 – Making a Plan
Starting a new part of our 75 foot sailboat is always fun. It's like a new project, even though it's just another part of the big project. There really are no plans for the boat beyond the origami skin of the hull the mast locations and general size of k...

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...
Building the Keels – Part 5
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 ...
Building the Keels – Part 2 – Lifting the Hull
After five days of work and one near death experience, our 15 ton hull is 24 inches off the ground and ready for her twin keels. Thanks for watching. We appreciate your comments and support.
