Carvel Planking Ep 20: Caulking the Hull

A different look at traditional caulking from an Australian perspective. Principal of the Sydney Wooden Boat School Ian Smith shows how he caulked the hull of his carvel-planked Ranger class gaff-rigged new build, and discusses the tools, materials and methods of traditionally caulking a hull with cotton and oakum. He shows how the Australian way of doing it follows the English tradition and differs from the way it's done in the USA and Canada. The video is full of tips Ian can pass on after a long career in wooden boatbuilding and boatbuilding education. He also pays the seams (fills them with seam compound) using traditional linseed oil putty.Other episodes can be seen @smithysboatshed.
