#1-How I build my model boat hulls out of one piece of flat aluminum YT.mpg

I managed to work out the boat plan and built a practice boat from card. Soon I will move on to aluminium and I'll also be building a putt putt engine as well. To improve the tutorial you could upload a higher quality plan to your 'putt putt think tank' website for people to download, then it wouldn't be pixelated. It also took a bit of time to accurately change all the measurements into mm, but that doesn't mater. Nice videos- thanks!

@ag4147 Good idea. I'll work on that. Let me know how the aluminum boat turns out.

where can I find a higher quality boat plan? i tried printscreening the video but it is too pixelated.

@ag4147 I just tried screen print again and it is not great but good enough. Did you have your monitor set to best resolution? I photoshopped a small amount to improve photo quality. I used poster print and increased the size to 20" OA for a tougher test. It is not important that you follow this plan exactly. It is important to have both sides of the boat equal. Hope this helps.

This is historic, Daryl! We've all marveled as you've created your masterpieces worthy of museums, but I think few dared to to follow. The very details that you think are just common sense are the ones that would bring us to a screeching halt. With these really helpful videos you've created a path for a new generation of enthusiasts to go from admiration to co-creation. Thanks for taking the time and effort!
