After building a 14'ft rowing skiff, I set about on a design for a smaller version for my office. This one features Mahogany for the breasthook, transom, inwale and outwales, and the shelf edges. Beadboard Pine was used for the back, and Maple for the shelves. The sides are painted plywood. The...

Built from local Red Cedar with Alaskan Yellow Cedar (Cypress) highlights. The hull is essentially finished but I still have not finished the fiberglass, joining the hull and final fitting of the boat. I take a lot of flack over this as this has been an ongoing project for a number of years...

I needed a small paddle for the boat I built. I looked at a lot of different designs online and most needed a lot of shaping by hand. What I came up with here is pretty straight forward to build and doesn't require a lot of shaping. I started with a 3/16" thick blank of the paddle shape. Mine...

Working on the Shutter plank on the first year project at IYRS. There's a number of steps involved for putting on basically any plank on a boat. The shutter plank is the last plank on the boat. The first step of the process is taking the spiling off the boat. The spiling is what you see in the...

little row boat as a tender for my dad's 28 footer… I did draw it with a cad programm, so I could get developable, flat surfaces to print them for my sheet layout. It was just a test for accuracy and of course some fun building it… It is not as stable in the water as I wanted it to be, but...

..I think it's called a settee in english (not sure), it was a remodeling of my dad's boat

I made these paddle boats for my grandson for Christmas. I copied the basic pattern from a magazine and added my own styles - different nose shapes and tops. They're made using cyprus (very easy to work with) and no finish was applied (time will tell to see how they hold up under extended...

Between a new job, various programs we run for and projects we do with disadvantaged kids, building my living roof workshop, and replumbing the house, we ended up pretty burned out come late spring. The county 4H foundation has a big annual fundraiser, we had to go early in the morning to take...

Olfara and Stevador were two 36 foot Yachts form the same lines plan by Jay R. Benford, one with a "great cabin aft" long keel, and wheelhouse and the other one with traditional outside cockpit design and a fin keel / skeg configuration. I built them in the mid eighties. This post is to invite...

This may bring a smile from the experienced boat builders here, for this my quite beginners work, but this post is more for the LJ's that might think of building a little runabout with their son or daughter someday. A long term winter project that comfortably ends in summer bliss. And just $50...

Boat windows - where to start; this was the main hurdle I had to overcome. I knew this was going to be a challenge for me, and it ultimately was. When I went to visit Marc D. in Kansas; he told me to pick projects that were a challenge for me. This was his no.6 piece of advice for buddy...

I built these accent panels for my Donzi Classic 18, a fiberglass performance boat. I started by replacing the original dash panel, which was painted metal. The gauges particularly on the left could be a little hard to read, so I angled the mounts for them towards the driver as part of the...

The joints (if that is what you call them)...

Just finished an epoxy seal on my teak wood stern board for my boat. Oh… and the fishing was great today also. I added a shot of my boat as well. LOL The board could have been left untreated but I decided I liked the color better. The teak just didn't look as good as the gray epoxy. Got it all...

Last September I finished a kayak that I built to use, even though I'd never been in one. (check my last project I posted) After numerous outings trying to do simple things like getting into it, my wife and I took a Kayaking class at the local college. It then started being fun and I had told...

This is a version of my boat bed. The customer wanted a pirate themed bed. I actually built one similar to that. This customer seen it but wanted to add a little extra. First off we added the port holes. These are 6" ports with mirrors behind them. They also wanted the railing around the...
