SeaPea - talk to us about the materials used and construction. I am serious. This might be something I can build while "The Admiral" gets her house paid off so I can build want I really want.

and I have 2 boys that would go crazy to have one of these.

Few things in the world measure up to the thrill and satisfaction of boating in a boat that you built.

Dave, I got the plans from;

http://www.timelesssurfcompany.com/sup

I used 10 pieces 135mmx10mm (6"x1/2" ish) Radiata Pine and 4 pieces 40mmx10mm (2"x1/2") Podocarp for top and bottom decks. Unfortunately, the Podocarp did not like being bent for the top deck, so after a few repairs and reglues, the Podocarp was scrapped and I used all Radiata to make up 30" wide top deck. I really only used the pine 'cause it's very easy for me to get. If I was to to another one, I'd be happy to try cedar or possibly look for a reclaimed timber. Learnt lots the first time around and would do some things different next time - like I'm expecting for my boat build.

The ribs are 3mm plywood with the spine 6mm (your turn to convert LOL)

Simple as plans and method...got heaps of build picks if you want them..actually, I'm going to set up a blog for it...I'll let you know the details.

I remember some "insane" friends who, instead of water skiing, went aqua saucering. If you've never seen one, it was a round, flat "saucer" on which you knelt and then stood as the ski boat pulled you along at ???MPH. I guess a paddle board would have been far too tame for them.
BTW don't get too shlockered when you plan to do serious building. You might put the stem on the wrong end.

Thanks for the tip pamelalynne1, but I have to drive from my house to "the workshop", so there won't anything too strong in the drink holder!

Still no boat pics - waiting for materials to arrive....

Meanwhile, I added a cyclone to my little shop vac and it works a treat!

Hi All. Just back from some very intense international work travel.

Sea Pea... I love they cyclone... does the plywood just sit on the top, held down by the vaccuum? on the side, did you just hack your way into the side of the trash bin? How did you mate the intake piece? did you work from a specific plan?

I went looking on the web, and found this explanation about how to do it all on the lid...

http://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_base/L ... h_Can.html

Paste of explanation:

From contributor H:
Get a 55 gallon drum instead. Put a pvc straight pipe through the lid near the edge, and put a 90 degree elbow in the barrel, pointing on the tangent. This is the inlet. Drill a hole in the center, put a pvc pipe through it, and this is the outlet. Seal up the joints with duct tape. I got my barrel from a highway line painting company. Total cost: zero.

I have one of these in the shop that goes to a shop vac, which is outdoors. It's great for collecting sanding dust, floor vacuuming dust, and dust from the top of the table saw blade. The point of the barrel is to keep the dust out of the shop vac, so I can go a month without emptying it. The shop vac has a flannel sheet wrapped around the filter, so I don't have to replace the $12. filter cartridge more than once a year.

What is the length/volume of your paddleboard? I have been looking at these Glen-L plans for a sheet plywood version, and wondering if they would serve well for stand-up...

Ok, SeaPea. I talked the Admiral into letting me build one. The lumber is on its way.

I have a boat restoration workshop in 2 weeks where I will be conducting a seminar on cold molding. Done with that, I will tackle this. The boys are anxious to try it out this summer.

Hi Bruce,

Got the plans for the cyclone from http://www.internode.co.uk/cyclone/ - i pretty much made it as per instructions. When I cut into the side, I left a tab on the bin to rivet to the intake pipe. The mdf lid sits on the top an is held on by the suction.

The board is 10'6" long and 30" wide - nearly 4" thick in the centre.

Those Glen-L plans look interesting and I'd like to say I'll have a go one day, but my wife is already cringing when I talk of "my next boat"

AT LAST, plywood has arrived!

The first boat bit (breasthook top) has been cut!

That thing will irritate you before its over. Guaranteed.

Word to the wise. You will use it to fasten down the stem to your floor blocking. Save yourself some grief and be sure you can get to the screws after you have the hull on the frame.

Thanks for the tip Dave.

The ply templates are taking shape, and I can keep working on them while waiting for timber delivery...

On your cyclone, shouldn't that thing swirl the other way down there?
