I don't have a table saw, so decided to sidestep that whole question, by buying 3/4 x 3/4 stock from clc. Even comes pre-scarffed. Wasn't cheap, but it was less expensive than a table saw

That is a good question, but the answer as usual is, depends on what you are doing. I prime with epoxy prior to applying glass tape because it is easy to move around and straighten up. I almost nev...

I'm ok at making saw dust but my knowledge of the various flavours of wood and their standards is limited. The manual mentions;  2 knot-free spruce construction 2x4’s 10 feet long 4 kn...

I've noticied in youtube videos some recommend priming the wood before glassing. Any thoughts? Thanks

I was able to get them printed at a UPS store. Also any large format print shop where they print construction drawings. 

My gosh that's awful. I've never heard of that happening either from a parcel company. It's almost like they took it upon themselves to throw away evidence of their incompetence. They should have j...

Having issues with finding a place to print out these massive 10 x 3 foot prints for the wooden sculling oars.  

@David Martin It looks as though it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to source the required Hobie parts here in New Zealand.  So other suggestions and idea for a rig that can be ree...

So after much anticipation I finally got the shipping notification on the plywood portion of my kit. I was out of state, and the race was on. Who would get there first, me or the boat. I was mere ...

@Colin Angus I am very interested in using the Hobie rig for my almost completed sailing row cruiser.  Given conditions here at the top of South Island, New Zealand, it is essential that the s...

Finished glassing the decks. Access holes will be cut out next.

Still following along. Looks good 👍 

The front deck is on ( 6mm plywood) and the hold down screws removed and holes filled in. I will apply 6 oz. glass cloth next to the decks.

I had been waiting for a little warmer water to practice rolling and self-recovery with my rowcruiser, but i recently got an unexpected crash course in that and water safety.  This last weeken...

Thank you Josh. The air chambers are assembled and the rear deck is on. Moving on to the front deck next.

I appreciate the updates too. Your attention to detail looks supreme.

Interesting idea for a work space. I think that's a good call on putting paper down. I left a few dozen epoxy drips on my garage concrete. As far as the size, I can only compare to the Oxford wher...

Epoxy kit, and 30' of carbon fiber tubing. Rock west composites had them on clearance. If I got them in the length I wanted, the shipping quote was over $1700. Cut in half it came to $36. Looks lik...

A 10x20 unit fills up fast! For those who've got theirs done already, do you think the rich conditions are going to be a problem for me? 

Got the storage unit rented. Hopefully the heavy builders paper I put down will catch the stray epoxy drip. I will probably put plastic down under an area I'm doing a lot of it
