<p>Hi all--</p>
<p>Cricket and I are teaching a class at the historic Lowell's Boat Shop in Amesbury, Massachusetts, birthplace of the dory, November 11-16. We'll be building Jerry Briggs's legendary Rogue River Special, and one lucky student will take it home for the cost of materials.

<p>My trailer is from the early 70's (as is my boat), and in need of some retrofitting. Does anyone know a source for trailer rollers I can replace my wood bunks with? Or, does someone have a decent trailer they want to part with - even better!</p>

<p>In 2018 I built this boat. I used 3m 5200 in between the handrails and the side of the boat. Overtime the hand rails developed cracks and it was time to replace them. As I attempted to remove the handrails the adhesive pulled the first layer of the plywood off with the hand rail.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am quite discouraged and don't know what to do now. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Has this happen to anyone else? Does anyone have advice for me going forward? </p>

<p>I'm in the early stages of starting a side gig doing dory kits, some plans, and probably a few finished boats too. I'm focusing on a slightly smaller design than what is out there- it's basically a briggs style boat shrunk to 15'8" with a slightly different interior deck and hatch layout.

It comes with sawyer oars and a pretty nice Baker trailer. The boat is solid and ready for the river. If you are looking for a boat to take beautiful pictures of, well, I hope you're pretty, haha! This boat is of the working class! I'm thinking this boat is still worth every bit of $5k, but if you got your heart set on it and want to discuss offers then I'd hear them. <a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10024109461?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10024109461?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10024109484?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10024109484?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a><a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10024109682?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10024109682?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a></p>panneling on the bottom of wooden boatstag:woodenboatpeople.org,2021-10-06:1312281:BlogPost:2518492021-10-06T15:02:06.000ZScott Swardhttp://woodenboatpeople.org/profile/ScottSward

This rig has been in indoor storage since the early seventies. it's plywood and in prime shape. the guy that owned it was a guide that moved to the coast from Grants Pass and entered the commercial fishing industry and put the boat away for good. anyway his widow needed to sell the property off and i bought the boat and a nice old camper from her. i drifted the lower Rogue last summer and took it out on some lakes and stuff but i want something a little faster for myself. if anyone is interested hit me up on this site and i will respond with more info and pictures ect. it's a nice old barn find and was built at Briggs boat shop in Grants Pass in 1968.</p>

This winter going to repair the transom, tear out and build new end trays and fix cracks in the fiberglass on the inside. The anchor pulley screws were glassed over and now are rusted. Not sure I can get them out without just drilling them out. Question is: how should I reinstall the pulley? I was thinking a piece of thicker aluminum sheet that I could mount the pulley too and then fasten to the wood bottom.

<p>I am excited to offer the McKenzie boat class again at WoodenBoat School in Maine this July. It's perfect for someone who really wants to build one but doesn't know how or where to start, or is intimidated by the array of skill sets necessary to do the job.</p>
<p>We will build the Hindman 16' Double-ender with transom.</p>
<p>We will start by lofting the boat from a table of offsets, correcting, customizing or idealizing as we go. We'll build all the frames, transom and a rolling-bevel stem. Scarf all the plywood. Assemble the boat, steam bend and scarf the gunwales, and outfit the boat as a fishing boat. We'll also discuss modifications to turn it into a whitewater dory. On day six we will launch the finished boat and the lucky winner of the raffle will get to take it away for the cost of materials. </p>
<p>With the skills you learn you'll be able to build most any variation on the classic driftboat at home. And life on the WoodenBoat School campus is flat-out heavenly, situated on Eggemoggin Reach, just a mile or two from where Major Powell spent his final days. In off hours you can row or sail the heritage Woodenboat fleet. Too much fun.</p>

<p>Noooo! Had to store the boat outside for 1 1/2 years. Tightly tarped to protect it but somehow water got inside. Now I have mold from stem to stern. Bought one of those "cloth" garages so it is protected but somewhat "open". Looking to move soon. Hopefully will find a place with a shop so I can work on it.</p>

<li>Yes I let her sit since 2005. Kids etc. Bottom, battens etc are being addressed with penetrating epoxy then a full coat of the hard stuff. My question is I am seeing that skide plates, high density, are no longer suggested as neexed, especially for fishing/class I water. Will another 1/4 inch added to be bottom, epoxed and some glass be enough or any suggestions are welcome.</li>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I've got the skid shoe off and in the garbage. All the ring nails are pulled out or clipped and back filled. I've epoxied/wood powdered all dings and sanded from bow to where the skid shoe ended. I was able to get that far using 80 grit.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My question is, Just how clean/sanded does the bottom have to be before glassing? From where the skid shoe ended to the transom is being a bear to clean up with 80 grit. So was the bow bottom but i got that done...with about 12 disks of the 80. Starting the last leg it seems that the paper just won't budge the 50 years of varnish.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Since i'm going to glass and graphite the whole boat bottom does the bottom have to be clean bare wood? Ug, can't take sanding much longer. Stripper to finish clean or can I rough sand and start my glassing?</p>
<p></p>
<p>thanks, M</p>
