Hi Rich,

I looked at that one pretty closely myself. My feeling was with the hard chines and so many frames would make a heavy boat. It seemed like a possible candidate for a stitch and glue...

GBVT,

I just purchased a book called "How To Build Wooden Boats" by Edwin Monk,1934, Dover Books. He has a couple of flatbottom skiffs; an 11'6" and a 14'6". His plans call for all solid wood. ...

If you are doing alot of cutting with a jig saw or sabre saw get a piece of 2" blue or pink insulation foam and cut on top of that. You won't have to hang your piece off of the edge of the bench and...

I understand that Pride II is due back to Annapolis in the middle of April. Just in time for the Volvo Ocean Race.

Dave R,

I found the picture and an article on those clamps on the Duckworks site.
I hope you don't mind my posting it.

If I remember right (it's been a few years) my gripe about the PC 126 or Rockwell Porta-Plane was that the motor hung below the cutter so you could only joint edges and not surfaces.
I like the...

Dave - Does the Porter Cable have a 3" blade or is it the narrower one for doors? I like Porter Cable machines and am willing to spend the money on them.
Hal - I'll use it for all around...

Anyone have any opinions on which ones are good or ones to stay away from?
Unobtainium or too expensive replacement blades?

Thanks,
Chris

I found another style of clamp in "The Workshop Book" Taunton Press.
It looks like a large spring clamp.
8/4 stock x about 20" or so. The spring looks like a piece of steel bent in half and...

Those are a little rough for me. They would work though.
The only thing I wonder is whether the...

Steven,

Was that a picture here on this site? Maybe the FAQ's?
I did search the FAQ's but didn't find anything labled "clamps".
I like your chisel plane in the picture.

Thank you.
All good ideas. Keep them coming.

Very nice. Hinge and all.
I think that I like a simpler clamp though. A leather hinge...

Can anyone point me to any pictures or drawings of clamps that I can make? I'd seen some in Chapeles - Boatbuilding but I don't own the book. I'd like to see some details and variations.

Thanks,...

Thank you Ken,

Good photos. You are right; it is sad.
Wow, by following links and poking around, that took me all the way back to my roots in the Valley Cottage/Nyack area.

I agree that a clear plexiglas base might help. Lexan (3M I think) might be tougher. You could also scribe a line on the base by putting a straightedge alongside the blade.

I also think that a fine tooth carbide blade might help. The cuts, though, that I get with a Skilsaw and jigsaw always need cleaning up with a hand plane. The finish cut is much finer.

Rex,

A good, dark, fine line and lots of light help. Also I think that it may have to do with the saw that you are using. My wormdrive Skilsaw has the blade on the left and therefore is easier to...

Can anyone comment on the Herreshoff, Biscayne Bay Sailing Skiff?
It's not exactly a flat bottom skiff. I guess it was close enough to flat for them to call it a skiff.
Could be complicated by that...
