But first I had to match the cut outs in the centre rib to the curves of the chines and inwales- In the close up picture you can see the G Clamp holding a small steel bracket clamped to the chine for this I spent a lot of time getting this true/ symmetrical etc and carefully marking the timber so I could clue and screw it accurately. It is on on angle to allow the outboard to be trimmed. Note that the Transom is not Square to the keel. You can see the living room in action here. I put in a temporary keel and thwart across the centre rib. I used some small angle brackets and clamps to mock up the chines and inwales. The chines and inwales were cut from the same pieces of timber to ensure that both halves bent with the same / uniform pressure.

The Shape made using the natural curves of the timber Here is my fairing вЂњsanderвЂќ itвЂ™s about 650mm long- Also pictured is a set of dividers I made to measure the distances between screws when putting on the ply High doses of Saw dust are known to cause lung damage and cancer, You only have one set of eyes, and sadly my hands have one or two extra scars from the construction of this boat. Important note- which IвЂ™m sure you will know already.ДonвЂ™t use power tools or chemicals unless you understand the safety implications. Paint brushes scrapers, rollers measuring and mixing equipment for epoxy resin

Phillips Screw driver bits for the cordless drillsДў2. Drills that do pilot holes and counter sink in 1Дў1. Really long clamps ( see the pics of the transom)ДЎ9. Heavy duty divider for marking out screw positionsДЎ5. Cork sand paper block- with lots of sand paperД©. Belt sander with 80 grit ( for the first go over the epoxyДҐ. 2x cordless power drills (one for pilot hole the other with a screw driver bit )Д¤. fibre glass matt and tape Enough to cover the bottom of the hull.ДЎ.

Lots of disposable rubber gloves ( the glue stains skin very badly and you need them for when you use epoxy )Д©. 2 sheets Marine Ply 6mm, 2400x1200 ( you wont need all of this ) ( the only new timber I purchased )Д¦. Lots of old hardwood floorboards 19mm x 90mm ( I used a light eucalyptus often called вЂњTasmanian OakвЂќ вЂ“ not a brilliant timber but ok if not out in the open all the timeД¤. 78 individual pieces of timber.( youвЂ™ll see )ДЈ. The boat wont be in the water all the time anywayДў. I didnвЂ™t bother with Stainless steel, which will rot away just as quickly as gal screws if theyвЂ™re imbedded. 748 screws, hot dipped gal ranging in length mostly 8Gauge x 18mm, 32mm and 50mm- used as appropriate for the materials being fixed. While IвЂ™m never allowed to do this again, they love telling people how cool it was, they want me to build a bigger boat, and everybody participatedвЂ¦ДЎ. Lastly, I want to thank my wife and family for allowing me to build most of this 3M (118вЂќ) boat in my living room. I also wanted something I could fit a few kids in, and I could build with stuff that was lying around or easily picked up from building sitesвЂ¦ ( mostly ) This Instructable is more of a diary than a precise set of plans This boat is an вЂњartistвЂ™s sketchвЂќ- so it is a little over engineered for its size. The construction method of this boat owes a lot to VergaвЂ™s Instructable- ie made by bending the sides around a centre вЂribвЂ™ or frame. You build to a method, but the angles, cuts and lengths are finalized as the boat comes together. VergaвЂ™s project is also of the вЂњas you goвЂќ style. Verga got me thinking, reading and wanting to design and build my own boat.вЂ¦ IвЂ™m pretty good at doing a basic design and then making things as I go. My version of his boat can be seen in one of the posts.ДЄnyway.

I rate his as recommended reading and as a mandatory study project for those wishing to have a first go at boat building. Then one day I saw an Instructable вЂњBuilding a One sheet boat by VergaвЂќ.My Instructable is a bit of a tribute to Verga. The task always seemed too big or too complicated. OK, All my life I wanted to build a wooden boat. Thanks, no new wheels have been invented here.
