Are you going to make a patten of the boat your are building ? Or just making the one ?

Not sure i understand. I have plans I'm following if that's what you mean

After rereading, did you mean patent?

I assume he means tracing the finished panels onto some cheap Luann or paper, so the next one you build goes much faster than all the measuring and layout work.

Looks nice so far, I've built a couple pirogues myself, but I deviated from the plans slightly to get what I wanted. Mine is 14' long, 25" wide on the bottom and 35" on the top, it weighs 45 lbs and absolutely flies. It is almost as fast as a sea kayak. The other one is 16' long with a 27" bottom, and front and rear enclosed floatations compartments for my FIL to use out on the salt flats.

Unless I screw up on this one, i don't see doing another anytime soon. The plans are pretty simple so wouldn't ser the need to trace a pattern. Next i want to do a 17 ft freighter canoe called lutra laker designed by a guy in texas. Also have plans for the point comfort skiff from doug hylan which is a pretty cool boat

Sides cut out, lined them up back to back amd hit all the edges with the belt sander to true them up and make them identical. Next weekend I'll be ready to start attaching the sides to the bow stems.

No I mean in case you plan to make more then one . That way you have a full size template to work from instead of having to redraw everything.

That exactly what I was talking about.

This thread is giving me ideas for late August when my kid leaves for college and I get my garage back.

Was in the attic today and found about 5 years worth of Wooden Boat magazine from the somewhat pre-internet days. Much easier to get plans now.

Thanks. Guess now the hard part will be making sure the sides match up perfectly on the stems, then it looks like it should all be downhill from there.

Are you using wire or zips ties to stitch with? Don't tighten anything until you have the entire hull loosely stitched together.
