This is a rig I set up in my shop to build my boat on. I'm getting too old for all that bending and stooping. :D

Y'all one bunch of wild and crazy guys. Well, I'm not sure about wild but yall have the crazy part down. LOL Thanks for the advice on the cloth weight. I'm glad I got the right stuff. I'm about to try posting some pics. Hopefully it works. I also may have a question or two.

I haven't given up on my build... just been very busy with work. Having some puter problems too. My next step is to glue up the scarf joints. Been kinda dragging my feet cuz I'm feeling a little intimidated by the epoxy process. I'm also wondering if I should use heavier glass on the bottom...

Mike it really turned out nice. I'd like to build one after my skiff is finished. Looks like it would be perfect for my solo fishing trips. Great job!

Just paint and varnish? No epoxy or glass? How will you stay dry??? :shock:

Hey isn't there a post somewhere on here about how to post pictures? I can't seem to find it. Also, can someone recommend a good picture hosting site to use? Thanks

I'm sorry Beekeeper, my mistake. It's actually BC plywood. Been so hot here my mind must have been thinking about how good the ac feels. s far as I know the plywood does contain exterior glue. I apologize for the confusion.

Thanks guys. I'm definetly gunna give it a try on a 2x4 scrap. If it turns out well I have some oak from a tree that fell during Hurricane Katrina that will become the permanent bow stem. Hoping to work on it this weekend but lots going on here so it might have to wait till after work one day...

Thanks Mike. I'm gunna give it a shot. This being my first build I'm gunna stick to the plans, but I really like the pirogue stem much better than the skiff's. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Well I finally made up my mind on which boat to build and decided Uncle John's Bayou Skiff was the best bet for me. Purchased the plans and got the wood from Home Depot. I'm using 1/4" AC fir plywood for the sides and bottom and 3/4" pine boards for the rails etc. Cut the plywood pieces last...

Now that's funny! :lol:
