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 hehttp://raka.com/EpoxyPricing.html
and order a standard 3 gallon kit and hehttp://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 hehttps://www.boatdesigns.com/products.asp?dept=294
and get three or four boxes of ringnails, for this boat I will use a
lot of 2inch and 1 1/2 inch nails.

I have no connection with these guys except I buy my material from
them.

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

Trolls will be ignored, although they can feel free to make idiots of
themselves climbing the curtains;)

It's about damned time! I want to learn from you so that I can make a
Brockway!!!

That's what it's all about.. There is nothing like the feeling you get
when you wet a hull of your own hand.- Hide quoted text -

So, anyway, if anyone wants to build along.. Let me know.. You can
build this boat with basic shop tools. Saw, screwdrivers, hammers,
files, sanding block, a metal dog for bending over nails (chunk of
steel) and a bunch of buckets, and stuff... A couple of changes I
will make to the Brockway plans I will be using a
Better nails. The origionals were built with galvanized (or not)
shingle nails, I will be using bronze/silicone alloy ringshanked nails
(boat nails, anchor nails). The origional Brockway Skiffs were sealed
at the seams with roofing tar and had to be soaked before use to swell
the joints (or not, they were wet boats anyway). Commercial fishermen
carried tar and chunks of plywood and a handful of nails, in case of
hull breach while on the water fishing the rocks;) I will be using
epoxy resin and fiberglass material to seal and as an adhesive for
this project. Other than that, we will go pretty much by the book
until we fit the interior.

Next, the build in a nutshell
