Steel

More info. from Gerd Muller

Make sure and check out the info Gerd left in his recent comment. He has some great steel origami designs that are really worth a look.

DarMI's launch

Alex has another couple of videos up covering the initial launch of a nice Brent Swain origami steel sail craft... video moves a little slow at times, but its always fun to see another successful launch.

 

Switchable Magnetic Ground Clamp

Alex Christie, moderator of the Origami Boats mailing list, recently put together a little video review of a Switchable Magnetic Ground Clamp. Looks like it could be quite handy if you're welding, especially metal plates.

Note that Alex also produced what is supposed to be a very nicely done DVD package showing the build sequence of a Brent Swain Origami boat. I haven't seen it, but plan to order it:

...there is still available the 3 hour DVD set detailing the construction of an origami boat from flat sheet to bare hull, cabin and decks. $54 USD, shipped worldwide.

A recent discussion on the Origami mailing list concerned the use of MIG vs. stick welding. The general consensus seemed to be that stick was preferred for their boatbuilding application due to ease of getting a good weld, and the ease of finding materials/equipment in out-of-the way places. Brent Swain has also made instructions available in the past for building a stick welder yourself out of just a few components. read more »
