woodman Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 16X36 Brazos River Dory designed by Gerald Kenedy ( http://www.theoldmansboats.com/p/boat-plans-for-sale.html) This boat has a lot of lumber in it compared to my last build the TV15-29... It has only 5 forms but all but 2 of the panels can be striped right on the forms.. The strips are 1'' wide and the first riser panel was to difficult to get them to lay right so I did what Ron does and laid them out on a flat surface and mark them out like a regular S&G plywood boat. The next panel down was striped and glued right on the forms, as with the rest of the panels (alleviating the need to layout on a flat surface) using the adjacent panel as a marking guide to cut the panel to shape.... The panels were sanded to 3/16 thick... Not a hole lot of wire ties are necessary.... Epoxied the seams and won't add the last side panel until I can take the clamps off..I will be able to glue it on with wood glue... http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/
woodman Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 The last side panel is on and I shortened it making the depth at midship 8.5''... This hull is symmetrical and has 2 1/2'' of rocker. http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/r302/scrawford_photos/

Buzz Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Definitely an art form. Nice canoe woodman. If fishing was easy it would be called catching.
