I was recently looking through a book on making Adirondack twig
furniture and the comment made there rings true for makig a wooden boat. If you build it and have fun building it and don't like your finished product you can always use it for fire wood and still be ahead. Backyard Renegade wrote: "Jacques Mertens" wrote in message ... The guy that is building prototypes for us is moving 500 miles away and we will need some help. We don't expect anybody to work for free, we pay a salary, There are problems however: - we are on the East coast of Florida (Vero Beach) - while we use plywood in most of our boats, we are not wooden boat builders. The accent in our place is on composites. Besides that, it is a great position for somebody who wants to learn because we experiment a lot. Last month we tested a new kit assembly system on a 12' boat, last week and this week we test paint methods and equipment. In January we will test a new method to build carbon fiber masts. Later we will build a simple vaccum bagging table and build a 25' CoreCell hull to take pictures used in our online tutorials. All very interesting but not true wooden boat building. -- Jacques http://www.bateau.com Man, sounds like I should move south and work for you. You hire old hippies with an attitude? Scotty |
