Boat Builder Central

An other trick with the transom is after you have the wood laid down and glued take a router and a 3/8" rounding over bit and round over the whole edge of the transom. This will allow the fiberglass to take the bend easily without any points being starved of epoxy. Tom Thanks Tom. I have a sma...

Jeff, Thanks.... I have an 8x10 Glossy of it.... ;}

Thanks, Dougster.

Wire ties and zip ties are the same here. You made me think about that!

Thanks guys. Going with the FS14 LS.
Florida camping can be near a lake or river or the islands of the coast. Tent camping. Born and raised around sailboats.

Building the FS14 LS Will be using the CNC ply kit and Silver Epoxy kit. How much of a Gap between sides, bottom and transom, when using wire ties. Does the bottom sit on top of the sides or between the sides? Does the transom go inside the sides or outside? I have seen people use a nail as a spacer...

Hello Mark, How is the FS14LS going. I just bought the plans and doing a lot of reading on building S&G boats. I'm finishing up a Chalmette 14 (Jeff Sira's), needed to do more reading!!! Bad choice on plywood, maybe 2 people have built it and Jeff was little to no help. Learned/learning the hard...

With that said, I bought the plans for the FS14LS, what a nice boat. But I don't need another flats ...

You are not a joke, nor the fact that you were helping me. I just want the tutorial without all the other stuff. Log in download the three PDF's and go. Even Spira has that setup, as do most other sites. I was able to get what I needed, on a desktop. Having tutorials, manuals and other files in a PD...

Could not make PDF files with cell phone! But was able to download and get the files at work. Now I can read on my Nook Color, and Netbook. FYI, ATT cell does not allow Tethering. I used to be able, years ago.

The Tutorials should be in PDF form for downloading. Cut and paste would be a joke to do. You have to join Acrobat PDF maker and pay. You can only print one page at a time, can't do whole tutorial. The three main tutorials should be in PDF format for downloading. Like a book, photos and text only. J...
