Beautiful. And I just now realized how to cut the sharp angles. Skillsaw just through the skin on both sides, then cut the foam with a hot wire....
Yes, camper and tinyzhouse things in progress. Yes, this is the backwards way to build a boat. I am starting with the materials and designing...
That diagram of the hull made with flat panels that approximate a curve is exactly what I'm thinking. And, one of my original questions was, will...
Yes, plywood costs much more than these panels. These are cutoffs from a factory that I can get for free. Yes, I agree 8-some pounds without the...
Yes, plywood costs much more than these panels. These are cutoffs from a factory that I can get for free. A stsndard plywood design could work,...
I'm guessing the nine panels would be three forward, three midship and three aft? Sharp verticle bow and stern? The fore and aft hull pieces...
That sounds about right. My weights were with the skin on. 2lbs per square foot for the 2" panel. Since I'm using 2" panels. The foam itself at...
You win the reading comprehension test! Yes! Flat. Dead-rigid panels. Non-bendy building material. Stealth design did cross my mind. This...
Yes, you did mention that before. Then I replied that this material was close to 11 pounds / cut ft. I believe that would suggest, by your logic...
Ok, just to clarify, you are saying that the foam definitely will absorb water? I was under the impression that some foam materials absorbed...
Yeah, the awkward joining is what I'm trying to figure out. ...and yes, having free panels is not a good reason to build a boat out of them....
Good idea. I'm going to soak a couple pieces and see what happens. I read the thread on here about the guy with the crappy double-skin boat with...
Nope, it is industrial door material. It wasnt a change order or anything like that. it's just the normal cutoffs from the normal manufacturing...
Point taken. I have other uses for them, was just playing around with the idea of small boats. My questions were really more about geometry than...
