what's the estimated cost for this build.

Last time it was about $175 for the bulk of the materials that you use for the weekend build, then when you get home another $75-125 depending on how you finish it.

I'm going to give it till Sept 10. At that point I will order supplies. That will be the cut off point. It will be the last weekend of Oct. For those that can't make that Friday, y'all can catch up Early Saturday morning. Starting time will be at 7 am each morning till.

For me to order supplies, I will need a deposit of say $150 each. I will order wood, glue, nails and screws. A very good chance that it will be more closer to $175-$200 each. If this works for everybody, jump on board and let me know.

Sounds like we have momentum for Oct 24 25.

Works for me.

Starting at 7am on Friday too, fish?

For those that want to, yes. It's no big deal if one can't.

Some what. Would build it normal and then come back and cut it off. Now building one like a skiff some what, that is a different animal, but still the same process.

Hey Fish

My father-in-law and will be coming in from the Dallas area and we would like to be reasonably sure that we will have it mostly if not all built within the two days, since Sunday will need to be a travel day.

I know there will be a lot going into finishing it based on how you want it, but should we expect it to be basically built on two days?

Thanks

Fish, take a look at my wooden skiff repair thread when you can. May be a page or two back, I paged you in the title. My great uncle built a wooden skiff a long time ago, and he also wrecked it on one side. Give me your opinion on how difficult fixing it may be. Thank you, sir

Hey Fish

Are you saying that you intend to order the supplies for everyone including dealing with the lumber?

That sounds like a lot of extra work for you.

I will be happy to bring along what I need if that is better for you.

I really appreciate the opportunity for this experience. It is most certainly awesome that you offer your time and knowledge to pass along an "art" such as this.

My father in law and I have something similar that we may be able to share with the group.

I would like to chat with you about it to see what you think.

If you PM me your number I will be happy to give you a call.

Thanks

I did not get your reply. I check the board from my phone so not sure why I missed it.

Must be slipping that I didn't email you. Was kind of under the weather yesterday evening. I'm running on empty, but YGM this morning.
