Will someone share with me the recomended sizes for the Classic 12. It seems I read somewhere they are 1/2 x 3/8" but I want to be sure. I could go ahead and...

Roland This is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. Re: The video from The Boat Shop, that is NOT the one I got. I got Platt's video, evidently a very...
I guess there are three main factors 1. resistance to rot 2. strength to weight, and-or resistance to cracking/splintering ? ? ? 3. workability ( dont know...
I believe that is the one (sans plans, of course.) The segment transitions are only indicated by fades on my DVD - I'd need to watch the whole thing in...
With all due respect, could members of the listserv please keep emails that are between members addressed so that only the members receive them? Clicking REPLY...
What could possibly cause you to conclude that exchanges of information regarding the continued availability of the Boat Shop/Nimrod video are not of general...
Thanks Roland for your help. By the way, as a result of my "Reply" posting I rec'd help from two other members who answered "off group". I think this is how...

My wife and I (total 300 lbs ) want to paddel on mostly flat lake water. Do 2 people work fine on the arrow 14? Is the snowshoe 14 the better choice? She...
I need a boat for two on flat water. The arrow 14 or the snowshoe 14??? My wife would kinda like the kayak style but the arrow seems a little small? Who has...

Hello CMRV6, If the primary purpose of the boat is for two people, build the larger boat. I completed an arrow 14 two years ago. The building process was ...

Brian, I can't help you in Philly. but I have the exact same request for Raleigh,NC after June15th. Perhaps we should add a search button on our Group page for...
My wife and I goi out in our 10' rowboat all the time. It's a little heavy in the stern (she weights 125 and I 165). If you build the row boat make sure you...
Hi . . . new member here. I've started the Snowshoe 12 and have begun attaching the 3/8" square Sitka Spruce stringers. I've got the middle pair on (as well as...
Hi Patrick, This has been discussed before and the go is to not twist ANY of the stringers. Take it from me - I've tried both. Platt says to just let them lie...
So the stringers end up being 1/8" inch thick at the stems? That's not too thin, huh? And inside -- is a notch made for the ribs closest to the stems -- so...
Hi Patrick, I agree that it's hard to explain. The stringers don't end up being an eigth of an inch thick. Let's start again. The ribs closest to the gunwale...
Patrick, These guys helped me a lot last fall with the same question. What I did is get a Japanese hand saw (flat, very thin flexible steel blade) that you can...
There are excellent videos of how to do this on one of the two Aerolite videos...that is, the once from Platt and the one that was after market. Maybe someone...
