I need a project and I need something original!
I don't know how many times I've been asked when I was going to do a scale model of our boat out of wood????

I've been out taking measurements and thinking how to put it together...
if I can pull off the hull, this thing will be crazy with details right down to the trailer.....

all I need to do now is make a few drawings and get in the shop and start cutting.

Oh, I can't wait to see how this one comes out!!! You are planning to upload WIP photos, right?

JimSawyer · 06-29-2012, 05:14 PM

If anyone can do it, you're the guy...!!!
Really, I do hope we get to see a WIP....
Looking forward to it...!!!

Trout · 06-29-2012, 05:14 PM

to tell you the truth....
I'm kind of scared to take on this project and I was hoping that this post would help me get over the fear..

thanks Pattie and Jim, now the pressure is really on!

Trout, you're the man ! If anyone can do it, you can. I can't believe you are scared. I think you like the challenge & you will do a fine job, I'm sure. Now, you can be scared. Go for it !

JimSawyer · 06-30-2012, 02:34 AM

If there were no mountains left to climb, I believe we would shrivel up and die...
I know that when I find myself afraid of a project, it means I'm onto something...

Now if you could find someone with one of those 3d laser scaners they could create a full set of drawings for you. Or maybe from the manufacturer if you ask nice.

When I tackle a project that is too large to comprehend, I started looking at small pieces. Once that section is done, I get the encouragement to tackle the next piece & magically the masterpiece appears. Okay there may be a few bumps in the wooden paved road, but eventually I come up with something presentable. Ya, it may not be a masterpiece, but it sure isn't firewood

Trout - I've seen your work & as the other have said - You can do it - Good Luck!!!!!!!

Also please show the work-in- progress pictures. I need encouragement for my next project

HAMMER · 06-30-2012, 03:04 PM

From seeing your work in the past this should be doable for you... Possible help on the hull Look up slab hulls in reference to R/C boat building and boat modeling....

What......how can you even consider leaving us with the appetite for another one of your fantastic WIP's and not follow through? You only have two choices now, zip your lips or start designing.

Where are you going to buy the wood for the BOAT project?
