Hiya - We've had some serious discussions in our family about taking a year or two off and doing the Great Loop cruise. I've been searching...
Okay, so reading that subject line out loud makes it sound kind of silly. But I'm serious as a heart attack. I've seen pictures and videos of guys...
I am using Sweep 2 Rails to create a deck surface on the hull shown below. I am picking the two sheer curves as the rails, and then the deck...
In the attached image, I am trying to trim the transom surface (the black surface on the left) to the six surface edges that intersect it (two...
Howdy, folks - I've got a model in FreeShip that I'd like to get into Rhino; the FS version was sent by somebody I'm working on a project with,...
Well, I thought I was being really clever last weekend. I jury-rigged a fancy router jig to cut the 1-3/8" x 30" long gains on my lapstrake build....
I'm looking for a designer to help me work up plans for a large (22'-26' range) skiff suitable for the hobbyist to build in some form of wood...
So I have never used a hand plane for more than 12 seconds in my life. Tonight, however, power tools failed me, and I was forced to use a large...
Next question on the ever-growing list: My new skiff will have a painted hull and bottom, but I'd like to finish the trim (gunwales/inwales, false...
How thick can one mix epoxy (West System, FWIW) and still get good gluing characteristics? I've often read about "mixing filler to the consistency...
So I am working on my first build, and it comes time to let the chines into the stem. The builder's guide included with my plans shows a picture...
I'm getting ready to start a small skiff with my son, and the plans call for a bunch of copper clenched nails where the planks overlap....
I've got an old set of lines I purchased from the Mystic Seaport Museum. Included on one of the sheets is a table of offsets, presumably put there...
Was doing a quick Google search earlier about houseboats (thanks to this month's WoodenBoat) and came across these kumarakom houseboats. Very...
I have a very simple plan for a flat-bottom skiff I'd like to build with my son. I'd like to add a little bit of flare to the bow, but I can't...
I've got an old table of offsets (probably 30+ years old) for a round-bottom boat I'd like to model in Rhino. I've only ever worked on chine hulls...
Hey, folks - I've been noodling around in Rhino, and I've now got a basic hull shape that I'd like to work on in AutoCAD. However, when I...
I recently commissioned a design for a 55' displacement cruiser that I plan to build as a future retirement home. The design phase is well under...
I've been reading Dave Gerr's excellent The Elements of Boat Strength, and I'm curious what the general opinion around here is of his work and...
EDIT 27 JAN 2011: I have received a number of promising proposals for this work and am no longer actively seeking submissions. Thanks to everyone...
