Hello -
I would like to build a dinghy or small sailboat using the cold-molded plywood method, sometimes called laminated veneer. I have looked a couple of books (Ruel Parker's and Hub Miller), but their emphasis seems to be on large yachts. Since I want to make a small boat, neither book answers the questions about ; 1. Selection of veneer, ie, wood type, appropriate thickness, number of plys (plies?), etc. 2. Mold method set-ups which are more suited to small boats. 3. The best method for making and setting up stems and transoms. 4. Adhesives - must if be epoxy? How about using the "construction" types glues? 5. General "comfort talk" to aspiring cold-molders. Can anybody help? Your specific suggegestions or references will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joseph |
