Been building this boat for months now...in my head. Got EVERYTHING i need including eyebolt for my rope and eye hooks for tying things off, etc...I have only one question. Gonna be using polyester and was wondering when i go to make my "Butt Joints" do i have ta put the wax in it to make sure...

Sounds good...am really excited bout this. Gonna have to wait till the 1st ta get 2 more sheets of Luan. By then i'm sure all this yellow pollen from all these pine trees will have fell and i know it'll be in the 80's by then so wont take so long for the Joints to cure. Trouble is...the fish are...

Have everything i need to build cept my Rib n' Stem kit from UJ's. Ordered it from them on the 7th and called them on the 15th as i hadn't received it yet. Said they'd ran out of material and would ship it on the 19th. Anyways as i sit here and wait a question popped up. When making the Joints...

Thanks "Kayak Jack"...just a few more days after the rain clears out. Taken me almost 10 months to finally get this show on the road. On a limited income and seems like every time these past months i'd get ready to order my stuff my Truck would tear up, my electricity bill would jump, or one of...

Went Saturday to get Lauan @$12.02 a sheet. Loaded it on top of my Chevy Tahoe and strapped it down with 2 bungy cords and then tied some nylon cord over it from the back to the front bumper. Drove 45mph back to the house bout 8 miles away. Bout halfway back heard a loud bang bout like a...

I've got a fine toothed saw for cutting mouldings and a fine toothed blade for my jigsaw. Think i'll try both on some scraps and let ya'll know which one i went with. Am kind of a perfectionist and a damned neat freak so i'm gonna do this right or as right as i can. Will be wiping up any excess...

Ordered my glass and stuff and UJ's kit today...gonna go get my Wood this weekend. Question is...i've sawed paneling before and it splintered real bad and am going to use 1/4" Lauan to build my boat. Is there any way to keep it from splintering it?

I think i'd go with no Registration. Seems like that's the concensus. I don't ever remember seeing any Letters or Numbers on a Pirogue anywhere over the years. I live bout 2 miles from Toledo Bend Reservoir and i see Game Wardens in town (Zwolle) pretty regular. Probably be a good idea to ask...

I can't seem to get a strait answer but does anyone know if ya have to Register a Pirogue in Louisiana? Called Department of Wildlife n' Fisherys and a lady told me i'd have to have my pirogue INSPECTED, TITLED, AND REGISTERED but have had several tell me ya didn't have to as long as it doesn't...

That sounds like a really good idea using those plastic ketchup bottles...would make a really neat bead and they're cheap! AND, i don't have to order them. Thanks "Phishtech"...Charlie

That's what i needed to know...sounds alot easier than i thought it'd be. Gonna order syringes tomorrow and should have em by next week this time. Meanwhile gonna start on my Boat this weekend. I'm really excited bout this, Thanks Much, will stay in touch...Charlie

Where can ya get those syringes and how big are they? And how many times ya think i'd have ta fill it up to do a 15 footer? Was thinking if i could find something to do the filetts with that came in something like a caulking cartridge probably wouldn't take but 3-4 tubes. Trying ta save some...

Have finally gotten all my materials and tools together to build my UJ Pirogue. Gonna be 15' 6" by 26. Don't have a problem with the construction, fiberglassing, or finishing BUT seems like there's no neat nor easy way to apply the fillets. I was wondering, has anybody ever used "Liquid Nails"...

Filletting the seams like that sure sounds like the best way ta do it. Have read bout 4 different ways ta cut the stems and bout 4 different angles. Think i'm gonna rip a 2x4 down ta 2x3 and then put a 17 1/2* cut on each side(35*). Seems like anything more than that would be a little too much...

Hi everyone, i'm Charlie. After reading every post on here at least 3 times i decided to go for it! I built a pirogue bout 40 years ago and i loved it. Had it bout 4 years till somebody stole it. Really loved that little boat but for some reason never built another. Anyways, ordered the...
