• An amphibious caravan from the 1950s

  
  intheboatshed.net intheboatshed.net — Authority: 124
  Dorma owner and pal Steve Taylor sent us this link to a priceless piece of 1950s British Pathe film clip promoting yet another great British product that as usual never caught on – though I’d guess that it will catch the interest of some of our friends in the USA . See it here .

• Keep Turning Left Dylan just isn’t good enough to own a wooden boat

  
  intheboatshed.net intheboatshed.net — Authority: 124
  Here’s a Keep Turning Left video about tides, caulking and why Dylan could not have a wooden boat because he isn’t a good enough person… The clip’s funny and opinionated, and I think the boatbuilder at the centre of it all shows remarkable good humour. Who is this saintly man? Does he have a website we can ...

• Eva Too – Fitting Bulkheads (cont’d)

  
  Bob Easton — Authority: 415
  The aft bulkhead doesn’t fit as well as I would like, probably a consequence of the lofting error that kept the garboard plank from joining the bottom well. When the bulkhead’s bottom edge is flat against the bottom, the top does not rise high enough. When lifted up, the top section fits very well but leaves gaps ...

• The simple solution to perfecto scarfs...

  
  Boat Bits — Authority: 126
  One of the things about tools is that they can vastly improve your workmanship and in some cases really save a lot of time. I cant think of a better example than the West System Scarfer which fits on your circular saw only does one thing but it sure does it well. Of course, you can set up a jig for your router or ...

• Eva Too – Fitting Bulkheads

  
  Bob Easton — Authority: 415
  Did you know that this is National Procrastination Week? Probably not. Formal announcements are planned for next week. (maybe) The stitching is not done yet. A few more parts need to be wired into place. A fore and an aft bulkhead go in next. Two deck support knees also get wired into place. The building guide ...

• A boat with no masts...

  
  Boat Bits — Authority: 126
  We were planning on crossing over to the Med in the upcoming crossing window but as various things seemed to get in the way it makes sense to hang around the Caribbean for another year... One of the reasons for going over to Europe (other than torturing French folks with my Spanish cow rendition of their language) is ...

• Eva Too – Slip Happens

  
  Bob Easton — Authority: 415
  Glue is slippery stuff. After a glue-up and double checking that the parts haven’t moved, you walk away and something decides to get moving. That’s when you turn around, go back, and check one more time. hmmm. Did that. Twice! This time the parts waited until I was completely out of sight. The slippage of the ...

• Eva Too – Sheer Clamps

  
  Bob Easton — Authority: 415
  Overnight temps have been gradually warming. The shop temperature reached epoxy’s almost minimum temperature yesterday. I’ve been waiting for this time because the next step in assembling the Mill Creek 13 canoe requires gluing the sheer clamps to the sheer planks. Sheer clamps are longitudinal framework members ...

• Not your everyday nesting dinghy... YOWZA!

  
  Boat Bits — Authority: 126
  Benjy over at Wooden Widget   just dropped me a line about his new dinghy design... Now, you may remember I was some kind of impressed with his little " Deckster " dinghy based on the Hobie Mirage drive, as well as his very neat and practical folding "Origami" dinghy. Being a Flicka guy, I guess, just makes ...

• RAKA rocks...

  
  Boat Bits — Authority: 126
  Over the years I have used just about every type of epoxy available to boatbuilders and for the most part they all work really well but they all have a definite learning curve attached to the process. Mostly I simply choose epoxy based on the two factors of quality of service and availability. Price, of course, does ...

  Rocinante at Reedham Keith Johnston has kindly written in with some photos and the story of a boat that’s often moored at Reedham on the Norfolk Broads . It’s an intriguing boat that looks like a Thames slipper launch , but which nevertheless has a completely different background. I’ll let Keith tell the ...

  Boat Bits — Authority: 126
  Over and over again I see a lot of misinformation about wood and its place on boats. Especially in the area of its supposed need for Herculean efforts to maintain it... It just aint so!
