It’s a start!

Isn't it amazing how many clamps you need to build a wood boat

Isn't it amazing how many clamps you need to build a wood boat

I have 300 binder clips in 6 different sizes, about 30 trigger clamps, 15 spring clamps, and I have 300 magnets on a magnetic building board to hold things. On top of all that, I have 10 1-2-3 blocks, 8 machinist squares, 8 aluminum 90 degree angles, and 4 corner clamps. I am definitely ready to put two things together at a 90 degree angle. Clamp mania, or clamp sickness.

AND... tape!

I planned on gluing the frames into the building jig today, but NO, all I did was dry fit and clamp! I swear there is boat underneath all those clamps, and angles, and blocks, etc.

If you think it's a pain now, wait until you get to the point of installing the non trips and decks. That's when the stuff really hits the fan

And what do we do with that anger that a comment like this awakens in us: "I've seen the plans and it looks easy to do"?

That's easy:
BUILD A BOAT TO RELIEVE THE ANGER!!!!

If you eat the 2% cottage cheese that’s enough to made you puke!Should be square with all the angles and blocks!

I have cut the hull off of the jig and turned it over!
