Eric

Welcome to Lunberjocks. It is a great place to connect with other woodworkers.

Nothing wrong with planning even when others call it over thinking. I wake up at night and often fall into thinking about how to do this or that. Sometimes I’ll end up puzzling through the nuts and bolts of a plan till morning which might qualifyas over thinking.

Hi Eric. Great to have you on Lumberjocks…someone who designs project instead of relying on a plan from someone else. That boat build sounds like a fun project. I built a 16’ hovercraft once,,but I used a plan from Universal Hovercraft ( because I knew nothing about them) and then took it to work and had it redrawn by a girl in the drafting department to my dimensions. I had it for 10 years and it was fun to fly.

I can’t wait to see your boat!

Cheers, Jim
