Follow the Build

The Follow the Build page has been updated. Check it out.

 

Found the new Bandito site again. It seems to keep jumping servers but nearly completed. Great Pics.

 

Swapped Devlin's completed Godzilla 25 Harbor Tug for the Godzilli 16. Cute boat... I can see myself toodling around on our local Resevoir in one of these babies. Them Mid-West pond lubbers wouldn't know what to think... Maybe we can talk Joel aka "stitchandGlue" into keeping us updated on this one.

 

Not sure if Van Dam has spalshed the Sponberg Sloop yet but she ought to be getting close by now this spring maybe. The 17' Speedster got a new name. It's the Lisa's Lightning now... It looks like its going to be as fast as it is pretty.

Cullison's Tammie Norrie has been outfitted for rowing but is supposed to come back into the shop to have the mast steps installed.

 

We should be getting some new spring shots of CB's JEZEBELE II  pretty soon... Hey CB... What you working on these days? Did you get all your roof and deck frames installed?

 

Anyone know of any other builds we should follow along with? Speak up... We'll Link'em up... Hey Joel, what else have yous got goin in the shop?

 

Enjoy,

PS: Please report them dead links... We don't need no stink'n dead links lye'n around...

i need help...see attachment

Please advise.  How can I get the boat to bow out like it is supposed to?  I had to use a 12 screws, glue and 2 clamps to keep the sides attached at the bow stem.  In the end i had to shorten the braces in order to keep the sides attached at the front stem.  I'd like for the sides to bow out mor in the front...it looks akward!! Please help any advice is welcomed.  This is my first attempt at ever trying to build a boat...

I NEED HELP WITH BOW STEM

Anyone out there please help!!!  I attached the two sides at a 90degree angle to a 1x1 bow stem.  When I tried to put the braces in at the correct points and bend the sides...there was an enormous amount of stress applied to the bow stem!!!  I had to use 12 screws, glue and clamps to keep the thing together.  IN the end the support braces had to be shortened...as you can see the boat doesnt bow out like it should!!!  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

need or want

if any of you are interested i had a restoration project that went awry, 1946 Meadow Lark, i'll be using the salveged cedar & long leaf pine, the sails went to a dog resuce org. but i have several bronze portholes, 2 round & 6 rectangular w/ screens 90% cleaned & polished (coke works), I am not really interested in selling them but more interested in a trade - looking for a like valued 20 or 12 guage shotgun, over/under, nothing semi auto (theaten to throw my 11-87 in the drink when ever it gets cold), age & details somewhat important country of origin is not.  PM me & i think i could do photos, we'll do a resonable rd trip if interested.  

Opinions-Suggestions ????

  I am looking to build a new sailboat.., a 35 to 45 foot liveaboard.., and I would like some thoughts/ideas/suggetions from the members on "which one"!

  I am kinda old-fashioned.., as I like heavy displacement, double enders, full keel designs.., and I am currently leaning towards Jay Benfords' 41 foot DE - Clayton. (a Quiet Bird design with a small pilot house. Sloop rigged.)

  .., however, I am not 'locked' into this style/kind of design.., and would appreciate any suggestions, or other plans to look at. (I have looked at several hundred and most just don't cut it.) 

  So.., if you would please drop me a note, link, suggestion.., on any liveaboard design.., under 50ft, or so.  Maybe I missed a great one (design).

  I have built three (26,32 & 38 footers).., this one is gonna be mine.., all mine!!!!

dear K

ya doin a great job, can we down load PDF's to do our own Tshirts or have you come up w/a good supplier so we can buy some - weather is getting nice & T's are gonna be worn instead of longjohns soon. Nice designs! Too bad today isn't a Packer day, go NE.
