Sanding tent looks great and I like the benches. Great ideas for budding builders out there. I can't believe all the dust and wood shavings I've produce in the last few days rebuilding the hatch scoop on the Torpedo. Sawing, planning, sanding!! I thought I was done with the big messes. :lol: Roberta...

Welcome aboard! Great project I'm sure you will enjoy. Post pictures and ask questions.

I also have that sander. It is invaluable. Get one.

Really Nice, Carl!! You need to show up at some ACBS shows when completed and start filling your Trophy Room.

It looks great. I was disappointed with my G13 shirt. I ordered the Ladies XL and it was so small I had to give it away. I laid my G12 out and laid the G13 on top. There was at least two inches on both sides of my G12 uncovered. Both were marked XL.

Stringer extensions are added, but they are offset per plans for the forward frames and are 4/4 x 4". The plywood is beveled and butt...

Welcome Aboard!! We were just up in 1000 Islands last month for the ACBS International Show. That place could certainly inspire the boat builder in anyone. Good luck with the Jet Squirt. Post pictures.

Sawdust from just about any wood mixed with epoxy gets really dark. Experiment, try lighter fillers, and staining prior to any coating will even things out.

Look closely as there is most likely a floor timber. I may only be a line across the pattern. You would not just butt the parts to the stem.

When building a boat, you will need a table or space large enough to lay out the largest frame in order to properly assemble it. Use the patterns to draw the full size frame on it using transfer paper or use a pin to punch tiny holes in the shape of the frame. Then the framing can be aligned on the ...
