Action Tiger Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Is it really that much more mild this winter? Seem to remember drifts of snow surrounding your last project. Dories and skiffs always shock me with how darn lovely they are. Peace, Robert 2 Quote

Ken_Potts Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Actually, the historically correct term for this design is "Dorothy". (running for cover) That's beautiful work. 1 Quote
Danny N. Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 oooh very pretty! can you describe the stem? looks like an outer and inner stem, is the sampson post/stem part of the stem or is it worked into the breast hook? Quote

PAR Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Traditional dory construction, uses an inner and outer, two piece stem arrangement and this looks like what was done. The bitt looks to an extended portion of the inner stem, penetrating the elongated breasthook. Quote

Thanks Danny. Correct on both. I cut the stem long as it is part of the layout when securing the frame for planking and then I removed the tapered portion of it where it extended above the breast hook near the end of the project and cut it to the final reveal. Then drilled and inserted some 5/16" bronze rod through it for the cross piece. The plans called for cutting the stem flush with the shear and installing the breast hook flush with both. Thanks thull. edit: Yeah, what Paul said, we answered at the same time. Edited April 12, 2017 by Hirilonde more info Quote
