Sorry for the flickery video.
So, after designing a kayak using the free software “Kayak Foundry”
(you can get it from here:
http://www.blueheronkayaks.com/kayak/index.html
under “software”),
I took the forms output to a press house, where they were printed on A1 paper. The forms are basically cross-sections of the kayak, numbered from bow (front) to the stern (back), in 20 cm intervals.
In this video I’m gluing the prints to a 4mm birch plywood using a contact glue spray to avoid folds, air-bubbles and absorption of glue by the paper.
Later I will cut the forms using a jigsaw.

I know that feeling …
I know that feeling! Hope you get it done! Thinking about doing this myself but I’ll start with a few smaller projects first.
Way too slowly, I’m …
Way too slowly, I’m still working on the master form while simultaneously working on my Master’s thesis and working full time.
I was just thinking of uploading another video showing the progress so far and explaining the different difficulties.
I’ll get there eventually.
How’s the project …
How’s the project evolving?
