Thread: Nexus 16' San Juan dory

  1. #16
    oh, didn't know about that; mylar is news to me. sounds like part templates... that could save some time I guess but I envision it being 2D so wouldn't help with some of the compound cuts when you want to accommodate the convergence of the topsides in the frames. Sure would help with the gosh-darned stem.

    I bought a bunch of sheets of Okoume marine grade from some place out in the midwest... and messed up one of them on a mistake so I need to get another 3/8, sigh. Not cheap but I love working with the stuff.

  2. Rob, I have just purchased the nexus marine 16' San Juan Dory plans with mylars. Would love to see your building notes. I haven't started the building phase yet due to some upcoming surgery. However, I do plan to begin after recovery.

    I am also new to Sawmill Creek. This is my first post.

    Dave,
    Welcome to the forum, I'm the original poster on this thread. It's been sometime since Rob has posted, not sure what happened. What are your feelings on the SJ-16 plans? I got sidetracked onto a few other projects although would really like some feedback on the SJ Dory plans. Are the Mylar templates worth the extra $?

    Good luck on the surgery, hope you heal quickly and start making some boatbuilding sawdust soon.

    Mac

    Auty,
    Well this is a start.....Seems like a few SMC newcomers posted on this thread and disappeared, not sure what happened. The SJ Dory is a great design although I'm looking at something a bit smaller now just because of the price of O/B's. Finished a new Boatbuilding bench last night, so I'm at least headed in the right direction.
