As I ended my post with IMHO, it was stated as that. My comments are not insignificant as yours are not insignificant. I’m happy his practicums helped you, they do not help others as much. As stated, it’s the nature of the hobby, but not insignificant. -

I'm glad you are getting use out of the practicum and I agree about the directions.

I know I’m late to this but I bought the Fair American practicum. When I emailed him with questions concerning the disks, his response was quite condescending. I’ll never buy anything from him again based on that correspondence alone. Plus, the information as others have stated, seems rudimentary. This is just MHO though.

Ok everyone, so I’ve figured out I’m terrible at keeping logs. I start building and it was full steam ahead. I have finished the boat, aside from the oars. I made the stand out of some scrap wood I had laying around. It’s not perfect and lots of mistakes but it’s done and I enjoyed it! I will include some pics I took along the way.

Fantastic work!

Ok so I had a little time this evening and was able to get in a little planking to the inside of the boat. I used very warm water to apply heat and soften the wood and gently bent the planks and then clamped them to the frames so they can dry. The instructions are vague at best...

Started this kit and it has proven to be tougher than the Artesania Latina Whale boat so far. The box says it’s from 1982! The wood quality doesn’t seem to be as good. Instead of the pieces being laser cut, they are more pressed, so I’ve had to use my mini jig saw at times. The keel was badly warped and quit a few of the ribs were too. I soaked them warm water and ironed them flat. I soaked the deck too before temporarily pinning it in place. I almost didn’t start this but I figured what the hey, if I really mess up it was given to me and it’s all a learning process anyway! I have the keel secured with the rips and the false deck is secured also. I’ve started forming the front and back wood forms. I’ve been using a combo of cynoacrylic and wood glue to fix the pieces in place.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. I agree the instructions are pretty vague, not like the plastic kits I’m use to.
