Thanks for taking the time to post, we realize it takes some effort. I have some knowledge to gain with questions.... I'll ease into them one a a time. How did you "set" the rocker? was it predetermined?

Thanks for the suggestion, these old(er) hands need all the help they can get !

Welcome to the forum, some of the folks on here are real knowledgeable and will share that knowledge if you ask. Good luck

Wish both of you the best, keep the faith, recovering is positive!

JD, I'll get back with those measurements probably tomorrow.

Today's building was a “do over day” as we were stitching one of the short side panels we noticed one of the glue joints was a little loose, that “not enough glue” in the joint was about to bite us again! So we unstitched the side panels, put them flat on the table and reglued a few places...

That works pretty good, sometimes I put it upside down in a milk carton, just have to remember to close the spout.

Now we cut the panels out to their final shape. First we will use our cardboard patterns to Trace the pattern shape on the cedar panels. We didn’t get a picture of this step, these photos are from a previous build. We clamped the like shapes together, ie, two side panels, two bottom...

his will be a short post to try a different picture post The 23 gauge brads now have to be removed from the table top. Easy to do with vice grips and a little patience.

OK, I failed posting pictures AGAIN! I used the picture sizer in google docs, then copied and pasted the doc to the forum, the pics went back to large. Guess I need some help!

Our next step is to make cardboard patterns of each panel for the stitch and glue boat. This will include converting the paper plan measurements into the shape of the various panels that will form the stitch and glue boat. For this boat we used the plans for the prototype Crawdad bottom, and...

The building to perfect the perfect boat to suit our needs sure is fun. I am on a building break right now. In Texas with my Bride getting some more treatments. Hope to get something started soon.

This is especially true for Cedar often it's the green Rough cut available at the Box stores. There can be a tremendous difference in the weight of these boards I try to keep and store Cedar strips that I cut 4 or 5 years ago make a huge difference in the weight of the boat

Thanks for posting. It is interesting and thought provoking.
