I wanted to make a summer project. i wanted to be fun and if possible to combine playing in the sea. so i made this toy boat out a few scrap spruce pieces and an oak dowel.. Written especially for the amateur boat builder, this concise guidebook contains clear, practical directions and designs for building 16 modern small boats, rowboats, sailboats, outboards, a 125-class hydroplane, and a runabout.. 1. small boat design and construction. by john teale ( temple press, london 1964 ) this is a great book for the maths and design principles.. 2. clinker plywood boatbuilding manual by iain oughtred (wooden boat books, maine usa 1988) an all round handy book . 3..
Making a wooden boat can seem daunting. the process of wooden boat building has become much easier, however, due to a method called "stitch and glue." in this process, plywood pieces are stitched together with copper wire and the boat is firmly glued with a mixture of epoxy and sawdust. these boats are lighter and sturdier than fiberglass.. This is a technique used usually for smaller boats to be able to pull the hull form together without the need to build a frame or mold (which can take almost as long and as much wood as the boat itself). i built a gauge stick to make sure my holes were perfectly spaced at 4" at 1/2" in from the plywood edge.. The next day, after discovering that his precious scraps of holey wood had some play value, he returned with a couple of peg dolls and a plan – he was going to make a gift for faye. a toy boat with sailors! not a surprising choice, considering how fond he is of the toy boats we made for him (a balloon-powered boat and a paddle boat)..
