Look for some Sure Ply or Super Ply which is now being sold for tile underlayment. It has X marks on one side. Its really not that bad with thicker surface layers too.

I have the exterior all roughed in. I used teak capped bulwalks foward for safety. The nice walkaround lets the old folks relax as we go foward. I am also creating a fishing station in the cockpit with two sinks and lockers and drawers. I have also trimmed out the cabin edges with teak and...

For me personally I notch the ribs or side frame whichever you call them, if there is enough materials and enlay the solid batten inside and glue up, running a fastener into the side frame or rib. Its really a bit tricky on the length. But I normally don't worry if the ends are fat and even hang...

I Take it that you are doing mortises on both pieces. There is actually nothing wrong if you wish to scarf in a new piece with a long scarf glued up and start over. Also always cut long, glue in place and then use a japanese saw or the likes and wack off the extra. Remember if you are using...

Thats a nice job and I like the color combination too. I really like the square transom too.

This one would be great for the old guys here. 8) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH7qNjHOhOA

Well one thing is for sure, I am too far away or you would have had the wood gone faster than a new york minute, if thats any consulation. I have met a piece of wood that I did not like, unlike some wimmin. :lol:

Well sometimes paddles are actually used in a manner that are not always noted in their sales brochures but carried on board in power boats. But FWIW, I have never seen a boat that could not be rowed , I have not yet found the proper placement right now and hope that the only one needed will be...

The shape of the boat is more important than the seam opening which can cause areas along the joints to be open. The key if you need to close some of the larger ones up is to fix any fat areas that throws the pieces off a bit more than what you would prefer filling too. But that said there are...

Well since things are a bit sluggish lately around here I will provide an update. My cabin and external parts are ready for the finish work . The nice walkaround decks worked out to be better than expected and has room for a bulwalk and cap foward which also will double as a bow rail without all...

Thanks, its a nice change from some of the so called manufactured small boats that you can only sit down and pray in weather other than slick calm or protected creeks. I need to go across open stuff to get to the goods! I am still viewing the plank pictures too. 8) If I was a rich man,,,,,,,

this is one of my favorite small boats for sure. All the talk about skiffs I thought I would add some shots of my own which i took while on my trip across the country the past few weeks. This boat is a 12 footer with an 8 hp two stroke yamaha outboard. The shape allows for an incredible reserve...

Thats funny, folks that just show up around your place with crude plans and demand you build a boat from them. :wink: NIce work, but you must have had that boat hidden away in some corner behind some old stump. :lol:

Well since these guys are stingy with their updates, I found another guy down that way with some varnish on their boat thats been found by Roger Stouff and posted on another site that I normally would not share the link with on any other site, but this is too pretty not to share while awaiting...

Gee you guys are still backwards with no child labor laws. :lol: But if those kids were around me, there would be no work at all taking place. I am a sucker for those types of smiles and truely what is really important in life these days, spending time with the offspring of the offspring. God...

LOL! Thanks guys, but I don't got friends. Friends are the ones that have a boat and you can either use theirs or go with them and buy the gas you know. :wink: :lol: So as Mr. Rogers use to say, wanta be my neighbor? and iffin you wanta take a boat ride anytime just let me know.

On the starboard side, more storage under the interior helm seating. The galley area also converts into a love seat size for two other people to sit and chat in desired inside and has enough length for small kids to sleep overnight if desired. I lined the interior which doubles as support with...

The dinette converts to the passenger seating, flipping over with a special locking support from the bottom for it. This feature also makes it nicer inside when I want the interior to be as open as possible, folding things away. Under the walkaround covering boards, storage gallore with...

Well I am closing in on the hull. The foward section is also lined with cedar too. The cockpit will have plenty of protection for my grandkids and seaworthy with splashboards which will deflect water too down the rails. I have all the interior completed but still needs cosmetics and will add...

I have never in my life time ever witnessed a leader that called for strong arming his own citizens that are expressing a difference of opinion. Oh wait a minute, Sadamn did quieten a few but I would have never bet anyone in this country would have promoted and supported such silencing as we...
