Student Gina is using a sharp bench plane to precisely shape the stem. Planes are used to reduce the thickness of the stock, and can be set to take whisper-thin shavings, seen here, or great thick shavings as necessary. Gina's white oak shavings are so thin you could see through them if you looked at them closely, which is one of the marks of a sharp plane. Her Veritas bench plane, probably a low-angle number 5 or equivalent, rests on its side (to avoid chipping the blade) to the left of this photo.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) asked the Boat School to build three traditionally-built Whitehalls as replicas of the boats used by John Wesley Powell and his group of explorers during their first-ever descent of the Colorado River in 1869. The BBC will film a reenactment of the voyage later in 2013.
The School is building one 16-foot Whitehall, the "Scout Boat", and two 21-foot Whitehalls. Though Powell launched four Whitehalls onto the river in 1869, one, the 21-foot "No Name", was lost to the river shortly after the descent began.
The white oak from which the boats are constructed was supplied by Newport Nautical Timbers www.newportnauticaltimbers.com/ . The 16-foot boat will be planked in larch from eastern Washington, which is as close as it is possible to come to the original white pine planking used on that boat.
Whitehalls are the iconic American pulling boat.
They emerged in New York City and, possibly, shortly thereafter in Boston in the 1830's. It is thought the name derives from Whitehall Street in New York City, though no one is sure. By the mid-19th century, they could be found anywhere there was a sizeable body of water - the East Coast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Coast at San Francisco all boasted boatbuilders turning out Whitehalls.
The boats were usually used under oars and occasionally sail as fast harbor ferries and the boat used to take harbor pilots out to meet inbound sailing ships. They have a fine reputation as fast, easy-rowing vessels that are capable of carrying a great deal of weight.
Nearly all Whitehalls were carvel-built with white cedar planking on an oak backbone with oak frames. (Carvel planking means that the planks butted up against each other, edge to edge, which results in a smooth hull). The finer boats were highlighted with a bright sheer plank (the top plank) varnished to catch one's eye.
There is surprisingly little known about the boats used by the 1869 Powell Expedition, the first to descend the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. We do know that the Powell Expedition boats were built in Chicago IL to Powell's specifications.
It's known that the "Scout Boat" as Powell called it was 16 feet long and planked in white pine, that the remaining boats were 21 feet long and planked in white oak with twice the number of frames and doubled stems and stern posts.
There are no complete descriptions of the boats themselves, no pictures, and only a few scattered references made to the boats in the surviving journals and records of the Expedition.
The three boats we are building for the BBC are being constructed to the best information available, using the general scantlings provided by John Gardner's historical work, extent plans, our significant experience in building Whitehalls over our 32 years, and the historical data available to us.
The boats will be completed by mid-July, 2013.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is an accredited, non-profit vocational school. You can find us on the web at www.nwboatschool.org .
Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts.
We build both commissioned and speculative boats for sale while teaching students boatbuilding the skills they need to work in the marine trades. If you're interested in our building a boat for you, please feel free to give us a call.

Toolboxes like these are first semester projects for the students at the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Port Hadlock WA. They've been a part of our curriculum since the School began 32 years ago! They're made of pine, dovetailed together. Students are free to customize them as they desire. Toolboxes like these are called "shoulder boxes", and were used by boatbuilders when taking their smaller tools to a job site.
This is the Scavenger I Recycle Wire Stripper, used for stripping the plastic coating off #6 gauge copper wire. It makes a cut mark in one side of the plastic coating as the wire passes through the stripper. After it has gone through the stripper the plastic coating can easily be pulled away.

These gouges and chisels came to me forty years ago, after my grandfather passed away. They belonged to his father, and very likely to his grandfather in the first place. They were made by Wm. Marples & Sons of Sheffield, a company begun around 1830, and for several generations thereafter one of the largest and most highly respected edge-tool makers in the world.
I have blogged some interesting details, showing how my own natural interest and aptitude for woodcarving may be innate, coming from ancestors who were in the coach-building trade in Lancashire a century and a half ago.
Here is the link to my blog: andrewsnotes.blogspot.ca/
This big 36-foot long motor sailor was designed by designer Carl Chamberlin of Port Townsend WA and modified for an owner in southern California. Construction began in January, 2014. It is being built at the School 2014-1016 by the Traditional Large Craft classes under the direction of Instructor Ben Kahn.
SEA BEAST, named after the owner's favorite dog, is the second of these big motor sailors to be built, and was expanded six inches in beam to accommodate a Gardner 3L diesel engine.
Instructor Ben Kahn is leading construction.
The rabbet is the groove cut along them stem and keel of the boat. It houses the side of the plank that attaches to it.
The boat will be planked with port orford cedar planking over white oak frames on a purpleheart keel. The deck house will be built of fiberglassed marine plywood, and the masts and spars constructed of sitka spruce.
The class of 2014 will loft the boat and construct the keel, build the molds, set up the backbone and and frame the boat. The class of 2015 will plank the hull and construct a great deal of the interior and part of the house. The class of 2016 will complete the boat. Systems installation will be supported by each class as marine systems experts go about their work. We are fortunate to be able to work closely with designer Carl Chamberlin during construction.

We build both commissioned and speculative boats to US Coast Guard standards while teaching adult students the traditional wood and wood composite boatbuilding skills they will need to work in the marine trades. We sell our boats to help support the School. Please feel free to give us a call should you like to discuss our building a boat for you.

Some collection of completed orders. It is not often possible to put together so many of our creations that has been made in a while. This morning before saying "Goodbye" to our work we had a chance to document this happen.
