Evening everyone,
I have never built a boat, I do fine with furniture and hope some skills spillover. I dont even have a shop up yet (Why? I'm still not sure, recently moved and it hasnt worked out real well for me, hope this will lift my spirits and get me back on track, LOL) but have been really thinking of a small boat project. anyway, I have been looking at john brooks book (the ellen) and kinda like the idea of a small rowboat you could also maybe sail a little, to htat end I also have been looking at Arch Davis's Penobscot14. they seem to have two different methods, one with ribs (penobscot) and one without (ellen). I'm asking who might have experience, which they think might be a better first time go.
Thank you for reading this
Eric
