Progress of the Beg-Meil construction site in epoxy wood


The Beg-Meil under construction is progressing slowly. It must be said that gluing 2.5 cm battens and waiting for one to dry before attacking the next one, does not offer a very efficient progress. This episode of the construction of this rowing sail shows better some of the laying details. For those who love a job well done!

In order to move forward more quickly, but especially to produce more images, Lucas is getting help for this episode. This carpenter by trade started building a Beg-Meil in strip planking. He is accompanied by Valentine and Bastien who come as reinforcements to lay the slats.

But this installation, which consists in adjusting and gluing slat after slat, is not much faster whether you are alone or in a group. Indeed, the adjustment by hand of each batten with the planer, and the gluing require a lot of skill. The gluing time is the same each time. Each slat being 2.5 cm wide, the progress of the hull is slow, very slow.

The only advantage of being with several people is that it allows Lucas to film differently, taking new angles. And thus to show phases of collage for which, when he is alone, prevents him from holding the camera. The reportage thus gains in quality from a documentary point of view, for our happiness as viewersâeuros¦
