Question on how you went about reducing the original plans by 10%.smici01 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 8:22 am Hi!
I want to ask for help.
I'm sure many people have asked, I'm sorry if I do it again.
I want to build fs17, -10%
I'm a little in trouble with plywood shopping
Where I live, the following plywood is available:
1. meranti or okume 6mm, but these plates are only 3 layers and that seems pretty weak.
2. birch plywood 6.5mm, it has 5 layers and is quite strong. From this I have already built an fs14 boat and it works very well. It is BFU100 / WBP / glued
3. Meranti or okume plywood is available which is made of 5 ply veneer but they are 8mm thick.
4. Also available pine 6mm thick, waterproof glued.
I would ask what are your opinions, can I build an 8mm meranti? lean enough to build enough fs boats? Or maybe 6mm 3 ply is enough? / Are fewer layers a problem? /
Thanks in advance for the answers.
Dennis.
Did you just reduce all the measurements by 10% from the original? Thanks!
