Half Model Making

Description

Boats were traditionally designed from Half Models. From the carved hull form, lines were drawn and scaled up to create full-size patterns. For this class, building half-models involves reversing the original process by reading two-dimensional lines from plans of a classic Northwest boat and using these lines to recreate the half-hull. Time will be spent laminating wood, sharpening hand tools, working with chisels, gouges, spokeshaves and hand planes to craft your own three-dimensional model. Students will mount their own half-model on a board, ready for display!
