Designer Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Alan has been working up the Core Sound 15 kit. Here is his video of assembling the first one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPjfXCXAxwE&index=2&list=PLCCJRycps-_mbO-Lfdr0s8OZX-4QOZCzL It should be instructional for anyone folding one of our boats and will bring back a few memories for those that have already built one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Alan: Good job on the videos. I've heard it said that a picture is worth a 1,000 words, and videos worth 1,000 pictures. Very helpful. BTW, in a couple places you mention the "special B & B mix".........your epoxy thickener. Is there a recipe for that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennieG Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Great video- thanks for doing. This will definitely help future builders. I hope you get ahead of me soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stewart Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Started on the centerboard. www.sailnaway.blogspot.com "B and B special blend" thickener mix is essentially cabosil and very very fine wood powder. Much finer than regular sawdust. We use it where the wood and fillet will remain visible and not be painted. Cabosil is otherwise white which looks a bit ugly. The wood powder also gives the filler a creamier texture. Graham offers his filler mix along with his epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb.lamb Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Alan, Thank you for the videos. I watched all of them. I have a question for you (or I guess really for Graham). Do either of you happen to know when will the CS15 kit be available? Will it be after you have completed your build? Thanks again.

Alan Stewart Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I've posted parts 9 and 10. Part 11 should be up sometime tonight. I've linked them below and also they are up on my blog. Part 9: Part 10: Herb, I just saw your question... The kit files for the CS 15 are being created as I build but I have almost cut out every single plywood part so it is getting close. There are still a bunch of notches and pencil lines to add in and some tweaking here and there. Aside from that I think the kit for the 15 could be made available now. That is to say, I think you could get your name in the que of boats to be cut out at B and B. I would give Graham a call this week if you want to order one. -Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herb.lamb Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks for the quick reply, Alan. I was just curious about the kit. At this point, I have a couple of other projects ahead of a boat so it would be a late winter, early spring project at the soonest. Besides, I'm still not even sure which to build the CS 15, CS 17 or possibly the Lapwing (I know it's more difficult but that is a beautiful boat). I will definitely give Graham a call when I am closer to build time. Anyhow, thanks again for the quick response and for the build videos. -Herb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I like watching these videos. It's like a fast forward review of my previous year's spare time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stewart Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Parts 12 and 13 have been added. I'm getting better and or maybe a little faster at editing. Hope to keep it up till the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
