I wanna build 'er the ol' fashion way.


While it is relatively easy to make an intelligent person appear ignorant,
it is impossible to feign intelligence.

I have all the Gardner books previously mentioned. Often he exerts the
fact that old fashioned materials are no longer to be had. For example wide
pine boards for garboards. He recomends using marine plywood instead. I
would suggest getting all of his books. You will spend days pouring over
the designs. Often he relates information in one type of craft to another
such as changing the stem construction...etc. Dory's come in all sizes and
shapes..what did you have in mind?
