Hi Brad. Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately this is a specialized area in which we have very little background, so we don’t have any solid guidance for you on this topic.
Thanks

The hull is carvel planked and was solid. I chose to cold mould the hull because I live inland and plan to have the boat in and out of the water. I am completing my second layer of 4mm okumi on the bottom side. The port and starboard sides have 2 layers. I am questioning if I should adhere a third layer on the bottom prior to glassing the hull with 6oz cloth. Thoughts.

I took a course with Greg Bauer again this past summer, first time with him since our first course together. It was interior joined and he did a great job. I am in the middle of building an Adirondack Guideboat from scratch. How has it gone with your new career. We miss you in Brooklin. Robin

This craftsman is building wooden skiff step by step. He is located in Mass. I believe. He has a wonderful NE accent and is very precise with instructions, methods, and especially materials along with their different applications. I have been enamored with his series and cannot wait for the next video to come out. I am retired now for a few years, and if I want to build a boat I had better get going before I get to stoved up to do it. It is a beautiful craft to learn.

Done that. Going to do it again. Every year as long as I can. A wonder-full place and a wonderful experience.

Thanks for your question, and for the nice feedback. Sorry, we are not aware of any schools of that nature.

I love working with wood. Not to sound like a heretic, but does anyone know of a similar school for fiberglass boats?
