I am about to embark in another boat building project. I have decided
to do it here as opposed to wrecked.boats.builders for a couple of
reasons.
1 I am JustWait, I can do whatever I want
The builders group would probably be pretty bored with such a knock
down build.
I know there would probably be folks here who would appreciate
watching a backyard build.
and fourth, I am JustWait, I can do whatever I want.

Anyway. Step one is to order some goo, you really don't want to buy
this stuff a gallon at a time. I am going to go he
http://raka.com/EpoxyPricing.html
and order a standard 3 gallon kit and he
http://raka.com/FiberglassTape.html
for a 6 inch by 50 yard roll of 10 oz fiberglass tape for the edges
and butt joints.

Next I will go he
https://www.boatdesigns.com/products.asp?dept=294
and get three or four boxes or ringnails, for this boat I will use a
lot of 2inch and 1 1/2 inch nails.

Note: I have no connection with either of these companies other than
using them as suppliers.

Now for the wood. I will get 7 sheets of plywood for the hull.
4@1/2inch and 3@3/4inch. I will also need a bunch of standard framing
material. A 4x4 for the stem, 2@1x4 for the chinelogs, 2@2x6 for the
sheet clamp rails (gunnels) another 16 footer for the keel, and a 2x4
or two for floor rails and non-detailed interior framing. I will be
using Doug fir, never, ever, ever, ever, spruce!

I will keep you all posted and do pics so stick around. Anyone who
feels this does not belong here, please contact the forum moderator
