Boatbuilding Methods
Boatbuilding with Plywood
Plywood is one of the cheapest and easiest building materials, one that the average do-it-yourselfer is both familiar and comfortable with.
Boatbuilding with Stitch and Glue Plywood
This quick and easy boatbuilding method consists of plywood planking panels cut to shape from full-size patterns which are "stitched" and "glued" together at the seams.
Cold-Molded Boatbuilding
This method is utilized on round bilge hulls or hulls with compound shapes.
Boatbuilding with One-Off Fiberglass
Glen-L has done a great deal of research into the various options for "one-off" construction.
Boatbuilding with Steel & Aluminum
Steel is an excellent boatbuilding material, proven in use worldwide.
Steel Shrink-wrap
This admittedly low-tech and forgiving variation on steel boatbuilding is ideal for the short-handed do-it-yourself boatbuilder who can weld..
Strip Planking
Strip planking is a form of carvel planking. The hull is built over forms using strips of wood, edge-glued, and edge fastened together.
Boatbuilding Mahogany Runabouts
