I was actually surprised it eventually swelled tight at Lowell's (more or less). On Sado Island these boats are used almost daily so they just stay tight all the time. Honestly, I think even my teacher would admit a new tub boat might leak a bit, because the construction just offers a lot of chances for leaking. That said check out a blog post I wrote last January about a group of Japanese coopers I met. They were building eight foot tall soy sauce barrels and I was there as they filled on as a test. In about three places a the barest amount of water was seeping out and some present seemed pretty disappointed. I'd say no shame on them.Douglas Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515886845098653363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379271667820721243.post-3822978265351223092017-11-27T08:30:03.847-08:002017-11-27T08:30:03.847-08:00Interesting post as usual.
You once wrote that it...Interesting post as usual.<br /><br />You once wrote that it would bring shame over the boat builder if the boat leaked when it was put in the water for the first time. I wonder if that also applies to such a tub boat?<br />I assumed that it would, but since you posted the picture of the tub that is swelling, I thought that perhaps due to the difference in construction that it was more accepted that a tub needed to swell to become tight?<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.com
