Will take some time to look over everything and gather the additional materials I'll need to get started. Been ages since I have been able to get down in the shop area. Hope the spiders didn't carry everything away!   | ||

That looks like cherry wood to me is that correct? Also can you show what the plans look like? Was wondering how detailed they are. If I decide to do this boat I do not want to use the video practicum. I just want to use the plans and whatever info there is out there. Which ain't much for this boat. Thanks | ||

I think you can also ask for your own wood selection but that would need to be clarified by Dave. I haven't unwrapped anything yet from their individual packages to have a closer look. First I need to find a build area as I can't get down into my shop.  [img] [ Edited Thu Sep 24 2020, 08:01pm ] | ||

That being said, if you've built some models in the past I don't think you'd need any more info to build the kit so while the video series is very helpful to the novice builder its not really required for the experienced builder I don't think.   | ||

I thought at least it would have the pattern for the frames and the framing jig. With no line drawings can't do much to make your frames from scratch. Hmmm!!!  . Hunt's Hannah plans were the same way but had the frames printed up on the plans. Too bad. | ||

Its not like the plans themselves are for sale. Then I would expect a bit more info. Especially the lines drawings so that you could develop your frames. | ||
