Building the houseboat

[missinginaction]

That is one inspiring project boat! What a pretty profile. I like the idea of building it up on the sawhorses. Saves your back I'll bet.

Here we see just the difference between a pro in NA and boatbuilding and the rest of the crowd.

That was not meant to belittle your well appreciated efforts MIA.

I have no ego to bruise Apex. My goal is to just do the best job that I can. I've found that by listening and watching I can more quickly attain that goal.
The only problem is watching a guy like diskira makes me want to scratch build once I finish the Silverton. I've picked up so much information and improved my woodworking skills/tool collection over the past few years.

I promised my wife I wouldn't do another one. On the other hand it seems a shame to not use my newly acquired knowledge.

I don't know what I'm going to do!

First enjoy your boat and wife (if that goes together). Then time will tell....

Good luck with it Daniel.
Keep us update .
Handmade boats is the best,
especially when it's made from wood.
The smell and aroma of the wood while
doing it will keeps you going till finish.

Cheers.

your flying now

[dskira]

Well not realy flying, it is always a long process, but it goes at a good clip.
I had back surgery, so it is the reason of the sawhorse, yes it save my back, and it is easier to aims at the shape for errors. The drawback it take a little more time to set a frame. The great advantage is planking the bottom of course.
The photographer is my wife.

As far as I understand this man, he does not build his dream John. He builds something he wants, has the budget, the patience, and a sensible use for it. All far away from the motivation the average buyer / builder has.

But then again, this is not a novice, nor a bigmouth..........

A humble pro builds his humble boat, thats it.

And we adore it...........
