Recon1342 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 It has all begun. I’m lofting the frames onto poster board, these will get transferred to Baltic Birch once I have a construction space organized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhardt57 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 It would be a LOT easier just to order a set of plans. -Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy00 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Also, it is easier to loft directly on plywood. It saves having to cut out posterboard and trace onto plywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirilonde Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Some times easier isn't the point. If trying to save plywood, then pre-lofting on paper allows for an efficient jig saw puzzle of a cutting layout. Occasionally, a tiny piece fits inside a large frame.

I would like to have one but i have way too many boats now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a significant amount of satisfaction gained from turning a handful of charts with numbers on them into a living, breathing craft.

even-keeled Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 My Poco Barta project is still in work. I'd like to see how yours develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recon1342 Posted September 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Progress is continuing, albeit slowly. I have a family to worry about, boat work comes in short snatches when I have time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
