I am starting on frame #3 because it will be removed at the end. I will keep you all posted as to how it is comming along because I know that you all are just so interesed in it.

I found a site on making plywood and fiber glass boats..... and wanted to try making one.... Ok... the first attempt was a total flop.... and my Boss gives me a hard time about that..... But sence then. I found out what I did wrong.......

But I think I have figgured out how to make a Pirogue,.... I have a few parts cut out.... but I didn't wanna post anything untill I made it (and found out if it floated or not)

I'm running into a conflict of time..... I have a second job, so I can afford to buy some fun stuff..... but I don't have the time to make any of it.... well untill Winter.... Drat....

So the boat may or may not ever get built.... but it might..... heck... I want to make it........

I think the worst part is.... I have an idea in my head on how the boat will work.... and how it will look... but untill I actully build it, I won't know if the idea is right...... So of course I want to make it and find out........

Hey.... I bought two life jackets at a yard sale for my boat..... so now I guess I HAVE to make it...... :rolleyes:

Well I figgured I would take photos as I worked on it... and post them if the dang thing floated..... if it sank, ... Well then I wouldn't post anything.... B)

If it sinks, just pretend you were really building a submarine and just wanted to throw us off the track. B)

My next boat project will be a South Haven Dory.

http://cruisenews.net/construction.html There are other sites where builders have tracked the contruction of their own Dory projects.

I want something light and slippery for rowing in the local lake. I have a Pacer sailing dinghy (with rowlocks) that lives at the yacht club down the beach, but that is 90 minutes away. The stitch and glue Dory has a real wooden boat look without all the hassle.

Please do post your pics as your project progresses.

Just an update on the pirogue project....

Other than getting some bondo and glue, (I still have to get the plywood, fiberglass and resin) I haven't done much more with it....Work and a new pair of (buckle) shoes kinda got in the way....

I might be able to get some of it done befor it snows.... but right now it looks like it won't be untill next Spring befor I can really get much done.... (Unless we have a late Winter.... but the dang duck are already flying North..... so there is no telling about that.......)

I know this is an old thread. Might I suggest Edson L. Schock's book How to build small boats. My father knew Professor Schock & built some of the designs. They were designed to be reasonably built by the home builder. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001K9297W/ref=dp_olp_used_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=used
