Mike Collier Posted October 30, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 30, 2023 Bought a Pot Pie Skiff kit from Wye River Models. I’ve really like building work boats especially from Chesapeake Bay Area. I’ve done Crab Scraper, Hoopers Island Draketail and a Buyboat all from Wye River Models.

Mike Collier Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted October 30, 2023 Sunday I installed the starboard side and the chines. When dried I sand an angle on the sides and chines so I would have a better gluing area for the bottom planks. Today I started to plank the bottom.

Mike Collier Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share #6 Posted November 2, 2023 More work done on my Pot Pie Skiff. I planked the bottom and chunked the bow. I work on the side frames on the inside of the boat. I built the engine box and rudder. Next I have to cut out 26 knees to help support the side deck. jbc77, Canute, Paul Le Wol and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
