I am in Mr. Taylors boat building class and i was wondering if it is better to fill cracks in the wood or where boards meet with wood glue or wood putty? Thanks
I'm in Mr. Taylors boat bulding class and our boat is way far behind is there any ways that we could get it finished in under 25 days left when were only in the class for 50 minutes a day?
You are a true gem. I do not feel picked on, so do not worry about that. I just want to learn. You've have certainly helped me do that and again I thank you. Here is another question for you. When a boat builder uses glass on the bottom, do you not come up over the chine cap? I was under the impression that you came up and over. That's why I was a little confused as to why the bed liner was a bad idea. If you do come up over the cap with glass it would seem as though that would make removing the chine cap just as hard with glass at it would be with a bed liner.
If you did not come up and over the chine cap, just covering the bottom of the boat, then it would seem to me that the bed liner would be as good from a protection stand point as the glass. The one big advantage to glass being it's slickness.
I did not have any major leaks in my boat at the time I put the bed liner on, however, I will freely admit that I did put it on to prevent any from occurring in the future. I viewed it as a much longer lasting, tougher, alternative to glass. However, based on your answer to the question above, I may have missed the point all together.
Thanks again for the information, you truly are a great resource. I am planning on coming to the show. I took some of your advice last year on the issues I was struggling with on trim and would love to have your input. Also, I am planning on building a new boat and am excited to look over some of the construction methods.
I am "the guy" who left the post on using the truck bed liner for the old leaky framed boat. In that same post I mentioned several reasons I thought that the truck bed liner was a bad idea. In an effort to learn, was I on point with the reasons not to use the truck bed liner? If not what else am I missing? Other than not being able to access the chines, or the bottom for repair what are the other downfalls in using a truck bed liner on a framed boat.
I am going to venture a guess that you don't remember me from your show last year. You gave me some very helpful tips on the restore I was doing at the time. I don't know if I ever thanked you, so thank you. The insight was very helpful. I look forward at another opportunity to learn.
AJ,
My girl Christine is going to be staying at the Spring Creek ranch this weekend. Is that near where you are? Anyways she is in town for Hockey Game fundraiser. Just thought I would give you a shout to see if you were near there.
Hello There, my family and I were planning on bringing our wooden drift boat to Jackson the weekend of Oct. 16th, was wondering if you could recommend a scenic float around the Wilson area, my oldest son will probably fly-fish as well.
AJ, it was great to meet you and your crew! Glad you guys could make it to the show. Thanks for all your assistance here on Wooden Boat People. I'm hoping to make your get together but it will be unlikely. Thanks again.
AJ - Your Boat Show looks very cool. How's the fishing over there in May?? I'm thinking about "fishing" my way over and back...
How many boats do you expect to have??
Thanks,
Greg
