And not just the Epoxy and glass cloth but all those other bits and bobs such as spatulas, mixing cups, rollers etc needed for applying glass cloth.

BOATING EXPERIENCE, TRY BEFORE YOU BUY Experience the thrills and pleasures of boating before you invest in buying or building a wooden boat. ------------------------- OVER MY MANY YEARS OF MESSING ABOUT IN WOODEN BOATS I HAVE BUILT THEM, REPAIRED THEM, AND RENOVATED THEM. I'm just an ordinary guy doing it in my spare time. So You can do it too. I am near the completion of my latest project the rebuilding of

Mignonne .

So, I'm putting this resource together in the hopes that it will be of help to anyone else who is interested in wooden boats. Perhaps you dream of having a Cabin cruiser

big enough for

your Family holidays, weekends or even to sail the world. On the other hand perhaps you would prefer a single seated kayak to explore the wilderness. Or, a row boat for fishing. Whether you want a canoe, a row boat or a cabin cruiser there are hundreds of styles and designs to choose from. They are all very doable for the home builder. Also there are many Wood Boat Kits available which simplify the building process for the novice. However if you are planning that big boat it is always worth starting with a Small Boat project. Why not begin with a tender for your bigger dream boat. Make a good job of that and you will feel much more confident about tackling that big job. Glorious details will develop as you consider and reconsider your dream in the light of good advice. Seeing what others have achieved

will help keep you

focused.

And there are hundreds of people out there just like you creating superb boats from environmentally friendly

Wood.

PS. Start building that boat and soon folk will be coming to you for advice and to admire Your Beautiful Wood Boat. PPS. Got some advice

you want to pass

on?

I have just found your site whilst looking for boat saw information for my husband. He hopes to build us a rowing boat in the next two years. As yet he has no other experience of boats other than sailing a Polyvalk. Your site looks like a wonderful place to find information and I think you write in a relaxed and friendly fashion. I liked the bit about putting the pencil behind your right ear, that brought back some memories to us both. Thank You for the time and effort you take to help others.See more
