    Hello from Fulton, NY

    Chestnut Prospector S.O.F. attempt.

    Uh Oh !!! Why don't forms 4a and 4b match? Does this have something to do with the rocker? I don't have the plans for this but I might have to buy them. I would think the forms on the left and right of center would be identical? Forms 3A and B Forms 2 A and B I have the forms 0-5...

    Chestnut Prospector S.O.F. attempt.

    Finally starting my build thread after a long introduction post. I have the strong back done. The center seems to dip down some. I'll need to raise the center form a smidge. I had to work on my Rogue and the pad is a mess. I'll need to clean and tidy this area! I'll show the level...

    Hello from Fulton, NY

    Yeah, I've watched them all. I like the newer way he does it with the gunwales first and the ribs put in under the keel. I like the Gaboats building with the heat bond tape and Dacron skin. I don't know if anyone has done this or not. It's just a pipe dream right now. Thinking out loud. what if...

    Hello from Fulton, NY

    I came to the right place. You all are awesome. I never heard of a wallpaper steamer but it's a good idea. I have an old Harbor Freight Flag pole that was 50' that the wind damaged. The base aluminum pipe is about 4" in diameter. It bent at the second from the top section. I like to repurpose...

    Hello from Fulton, NY

    Thank you. I might be changing my mind on that. I knew it was a boat building wood used in old ships. I didn't realize how dense it is. I have White Ash and Eastern Hemlock on the property. I was going to build it all with green wood to maybe eliminate the steaming process? I think I'll buy Red...
