How to build a wooden boat.

[walkertongdee]

good method and presentaiion.

Thanks for your comments - good luck with the build. The benefit of belt sanding is that you can keep the wood powder generated and add it to the epoxy to create a filleting blend.

Thanks for posting this, grumyoung. I'm looking to do my first ever boat building project (probably the mouse) and all I see is butt joints talked about. UncleJohn is the only one to date I've seen suggesting a scarf joint. Having fair carpentery skills, it's still nice to see this in a video form! I liked your router setup. I'll probably use my belt sander since I have many hours behind one. Thanks again!!!

Good work.

I'm in the midst of a 16 foot flat bottom right now.

how do you know ahead of time how to cut each individual plank? is there a math formula or something

[grumyoung]

All of the plank dimensions are given in the plans for the boat you have chosen to build. They just need to be 'lofted' (transferred and scaled) onto the plywood

wow, very good video with multiple ways of doing things. I"m not even making scarf joints and I watched the whole thing.

[grumyoung]

Glad you liked it - scarf joints are actually easier than people think they are
