The rudder we built swings! Machining bronze castings for our wooden sailing boat. (EP52)

The pieces of the puzzle are coming together with our rudder for Tarkine. We have our bronze castings sent away to be machined and prepared for fitting. Matt begins by dry fitting the rudder in place, this becomes a slightly difficult job due to the awkward size and shape of the rudder. Once dry fitted he marks out where all the gudgeon and pintles go and the correct depths. In-between all of this Ed the Engineer is busy in his little workshop making everything flat and inline, also preparing the rudder stock with a keyway and rather beautiful nut. We hope you enjoy this latest video after so much hard work on the cabin and cabin top its great to find some direction below the waterline!
