New Boatbuilding Tips and Tricks Blog Started
Hi all. I thought I'd start a blog to document tips tricks for building wooden boats and dories. I get questions from some people who are building my boats or are just curious about building my boats and I figure if one person has asked the question, there must be many more who have those question and just don't want to ask them.
Here I intend to discuss home built boat designs, boat construction techniques, boat building materials, tools required for boat building, boat fiberglassing techniques, stitch and glue boat building methods, fasteners for boat building, boat repair and painting, and just about any other topic of relevance about building boats, skiffs, dories, fishing boats sail boats, and more.
If you have any requests or comments, feel free to either post them or ask.

Hi All
I am looking for a home builder that has built a 20'CALADESI or is in the process... As I have many questions as this will be my first wood boat...
Seabass
Would it wise to glass both the inside and out side of a wooden boat?
Do any of the designs allow for drainage from the bow sections, along the (inside) of the keel
Capt,
I am going to glass the outside and coat the inside with 3 coats of epoxy
Gerald,
On the plans I have for the Caladesi 20 there is a gap in the frame 1 1/2" x 1" on both sides of the Keelson once installed from stem to the transom that would be the dranage if you were to put in 1x4 decking slats but I am going to seal off that area with a deck and install pore foam and make the boat self bailing

Caladesi 20
I am considering building my first wooden boat. Just woundering what the best epoxy is for gluing the wood pieces together.
