Boat Builder Central

The little ones usually taste the best.

On my last order I had them fill up any empty space in the box with bags of wood flour. Worked out good. They will bend over backwards to help you. A real pleasure to deal with. :!: :D That's probably the way to do it for bulky stuff like filler. I placed a small order with BBC earlier today, and I...

Netpackrat, excellent observation!!! We are about to work up some small boat hardware kits as we now have the suppliers to provide multiple name brands and quality levels!! Happy to always do something custom for you as well, just let me know what you need!! Thank you for the comments!!!! Jeff Unfo...

Yeah, they seem to have a wide variety of stuff. I bought enough supplies at various places to get started but will probably need more, and what I am going to do for paint is kind of a big question mark at this point. On one of my previous projects I used Brightside, rolled and tipped per advice of ...

Looks good so far. We recently added the aluminum powder to the site. I've been thinking about mixing it with graphite, looks like it could turn out an interesting color, and provide wear and heat resistance. I've added your thread to the build threads page as well! I hear the aluminum powder is al...

If the Bateau crew can ship resin and stuff up here that is great news, indeed. Post 9/11 getting any kind of paint or glue shipped up at a reasonable cost has been difficult.

It will not be damaged by banging into docks or other boats.

Yeah...but how about the other boats?

They probably should have gotten out of the way.

Thanks for the reply. I get out to Wasilla once in a while, so it shouldn't be too big a deal to swing by there if I need something. Though I can hit the West Marine place pretty easy on my way to work, so I have to take that convenience into account I guess. Probably going to order my plywood from ...

I am down to the final steps in completing the Prameke (sailing version). My plans call for Wilcox#460 3/4 Pintles and Wilcox #464 3/4 Gudgeons.. I have searched the web and can't find them. Can someone tell me where to get them or a reasonable replacement substitute. Please give specifics. I bough...

I didn't see a specific place for it, so I thought I would introduce myself here (and create a build thread) before I start making any other posts. I currently live in Anchorage, AK, and grew up in Cordova down on the coast, which is a landlocked community of 2500 or so with only air or boat access....
