Just a comment for the algorithm...Looks Good!

Beautiful! Good pitch... Hi Annie.

Thixo is a must have for any boat shop!

Interesting that the TB epoxy is taking so long to kick off. Im using their high performance stuff with slow hardner and left a glue up to cure outside with the temperature dipping below freezing overnight and it was set up enough to remove the clamps and sand the following afternoon. Nice update and thanks for going into detail on some of the builds!

15: 25 For your ply cover-sheet - 1. Lay plastic over your bow planking for protection 2. Lay over-size ply sheet on site 3. Thixo a square-section bead around perimeter of ply 4. Splash/brush water across ply every half-hour for three days, replacing lead-weighting after each wetting 5. Final dry-off. Team of three on shifts. With timers.

Have you done the canvassing? I've done it many times. Like most boatbuilding operations have a good procedure set and followed will give a good result. I could describe it to you or come down to help.

I've found the Thixo very handy. I tend not to use the nozzle. I just squirt some on a palette and mix it with a putty knife. I love that it's thick without having to add the usual thickeners. Easy to make very small batches, no measuring proportions, no waste from whats left in the nozzle or requirement to have a box of spare nozzles handy. Of course the nozzle is the way to go for certain applications. A passing thought would be to consider vacuum bagging the canvas onto the cat deck. That would solve the saddle issue. You'd have to caulk the seems for air tightness and maybe add a ledge along the gun'l for the bag seal. I can see you guys have a lot fun up there. If it wasn't so far away I'd be knocking on your door every day. 🐬👍

Reminds me of Platt Monfort's boats at a different scale.

Happy Thanksgiving from Louisiana. Thank you for highlighting these beautiful boats. My family roots run back to Ireland and Scotland. I remember the old ones talking about fishing out of these boats when they were young lads before they came over.

Tempting. Seems like a great deal. I really want to build a small wooden sailboat to putter around Cape Cod Bay in while I work towards getting the big rotten boat restored, but do I really need another boatbuilding project at the moment?

Thanks for the info!

How on earth, do you actually get any work done in that place with that view out the window?

Dude, if you could get plans made up for the lighthouse tender dinghy, I'd totally buy a set! That's too cool!

Is the beetle cat being done for a customer or will it be sold also?Love the name change.

Beautiful looking boat. If I could, I would bring it home to Louisiana.

Congratulations! Fantastic program and happy to see that the support needed came in above and beyond your goal!

Congratulations on the fundraising. Thank y’all for the youth programs. I grew up on the waters of Louisiana and am grateful for all who helped me learn and enjoy those times. 😊

I hope that any re-design or design tweak include the sculling notch. (Just one person's opinion)

This is one of the few hits that come up via "wooden boat" and "arctic". Really enjoying it, thank you!

Nicely done Graham!👍

That Haven 12 1/2 is a bargain at $25-$30k.Will be a great boat for someone.If only my health would allow it…

What are the steel plates on the ribs?

I like the original version much better.

Looks like a pea pod to me so your name for it is perfect.

Please define the term dory? I have a 50 ft Colvin schooner with just enough space on the forward trunk cabin behind the fore mast for a max 12 ft tender. I would love a rowing, sailing tender with an outboard transom, in the dory design.

Curious if your plan is to refinish the barn find dory or leave it as is?

Seams like the stern on the new one is a lot narrower and maybe even raked aft a bit , certainly pushes the peapod idea, but must loose comfort in the aft seat. Nice boats.

It may be camera angle, but your "replica" doesn't seem to exactly follow the same lines as the original. You look to have already begun to tweak the design. This is an intriguing little dory. Will lines be available to the general public of the original boat? 17" planks can still be found in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for sharing this find.

Do you have any plans to make the lines available?

Neat little boats. Cool that you found an original and managed to replicate it.

Looks similar to the beach pea pod

way to live!

Love to see how things are going in the shop. Thank you Gram.

Welcome back. Can’t wait to see the pictures. Wish I lived closer to y’all, Louisiana is a bit too far to walk. Keep the videos coming. Thank you for keeping the boat shop open and working.

Hide a butt. Hehehehe

Love the thumbnail picture!

Very cool episode!!

Nice update. Love the channel. Hi Anne! Hope all is well with you! cheers, Toby

+1 for those Flat Graham stills

Thank you so much for this.

Looks like a fine adventure. Sail well, stay safe, fair winds.

Really cool stuff! I'm looking forward to heading up that way once my rotten old derelict no longer meets that description.

Graham, thank you for the update. Watching the video reminded me of being seasick off the Maine coast where I was afraid I was going to die, then afraid I wouldn't! What a great experience for the MMA students aboard.
