Duanelaker Posted January 8, 2020 #1 Posted January 8, 2020 Welcome to another addition of simple boats built by Dave. I have gone down the rabbit hole of having more kits then years left on this earth. I can only hope I get to all of them...I can not wait to retire! so here is the box and insides for post #1...since it was an EBay find, someone had already taken all of the pieces out of the wood blanks and didn’t break them! I was missing half of the stem so I had to scratch build a new one. Practice!

Duanelaker Posted January 8, 2020 Author #2 Posted January 8, 2020 So first I started by gluing the easy pieces together per the instruction manual. I scribed the line on the bottom plank.

Duanelaker Posted January 8, 2020 Author #3 Posted January 8, 2020 I glued the stem and transom to the bottom plank... Next I made up the frames.. thibaultron and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote David Builds in Progress: Phantom Pilot Boat - MS Completed Builds: Bounty Jolly Boat - AL Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff - MW Grand Banks Dory - Bluejacket The Dinghy - MW Grand Banks Dory - MW 32 Pound Carronade - MS Skiff - MW Peterboro Canoe - MW On Hold: 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull - NRG Ponte Berlin - Corel Taurus Steam Towboat - MS
Duanelaker Posted January 8, 2020 Author #4 Posted January 8, 2020 I glued the frames on the bottom plank one by one...after beveling per the instructions... thibaultron and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote David Builds in Progress: Phantom Pilot Boat - MS Completed Builds: Bounty Jolly Boat - AL Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff - MW Grand Banks Dory - Bluejacket The Dinghy - MW Grand Banks Dory - MW 32 Pound Carronade - MS Skiff - MW Peterboro Canoe - MW On Hold: 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull - NRG Ponte Berlin - Corel Taurus Steam Towboat - MS
Duanelaker Posted January 8, 2020 Author #5 Posted January 8, 2020 While waiting for frames to dry I made the wood bucket and oars...

Duanelaker Posted January 8, 2020 Author #7 Posted January 8, 2020 I almost screwed up my mast step, but luckily I caught it looking at the plans one last time! i was supposed to trim it so there was 1/16” from the edge to the hole.

Duanelaker Posted January 8, 2020 Author #8 Posted January 8, 2020 So I then faired the edges...it went way easier then I ever would have thought!

Duanelaker Posted January 19, 2020 Author #12 Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) I trimmed the stem post? which came out nice...more fitting of the gunwales.

Duanelaker Posted January 19, 2020 Author #13 Posted January 19, 2020 I decided to do the turn of the century colors, instead of modern day yacht tenders.... so dark green (black green) exterior of hull, buff ( I did yellow ochre) interior hull, i did a dark walnut gunwale which I think I am happy with and I chose gunstock for the thwarts...which might be a bit much...I’m undecided on the oars, and mast.
