Holy Smokes that's a pretty boat.

194 views, yeah Jon zero WBM subscribers care about Wooden Boats. They put the magazines ( not firearm ones ) on their waiting room tables. So we can see your communist background.😅

What joy! those boats are amazing beautiful works of art. I would have liked to have explained to me the process of "cold molding" (I think), but otherwise Thom conveyed marvellously the wonder of these yachts. Many thanks. Tom (from France)

Rename that boat the "Kamala 12.5. ". Or "Willy Brown eye".

Imagine a forum that could help folks with their Wooden Boats. Controversies over CPES, 6 oz glass over strip plank, spiling, Kirby paints, doug fir deadwood, pouring lead, haven 12.5', Catboats, carvel issues, rivets, roves, where to buy sil bronze fasteners, crevice corrosion, 2:1 vs 5:1 epoxy, Take this political website back to basics. Make it like every other website that is genuine. " are you building, working on, or starting a Wooden Boat restoration. ? You will lose 90% of your Bilge members, but, keep the experts that remain.

If you look at the posts in your forum, you will see JoeSoCal crapping on mmd. JSC has never built a boat. Mmd has designed an incredible amount of boats, aluminum, steel, and wood. You actually lose people knowledgeable in boat building, you are left with man-boys who wash dogs and offers the WBF advice on charging a Tesla.

Bob Smalser was one man that kept me going despite the political affiliation of WB. I also miss Erster ( Oyster ). Literally built a boat ( I loved ) called " Popsicle " . Its so sad that amagazine I loved for 20 years has become a fiberglass boat site. RIP.

47 threads anti-republican and hundreds of replies on your websites Bilge forum. 5 posts on the Building and Repair forum. You have destroyed common interests. Suck it up Jon. You are a politically driven publication. I'd hate that being my legacy. But you destroyed the magazine I knew.

Your entire woodenboat forum mourns the reality that Donald Trumps assassination failed. 100% of the " Bilge " is filled with folks that have frozen snot boats. The rest don't own or maintain wooden boats. Good job Kamala fan boy. Does Joe ( SoCal ) have any boat ? Nope, does Oznabrag? Nope. Glen-L has more information than your liberal woodenboat forum. Yes, I know wooden boat magazine is for folks that don't know Chit about wooden boats. Check the wooden boat forum. You 3,500,000 million posts on the bilge sub-forum attacking non-liberals. 65,000 posts on the sub forum actually dealing with wood boats.

How I know what that antique weird clamp thing my granddad had - it's a saw vise (!)

Thank you for sharing your wooden boat building knowledge love the look of vintage style wooden boat designs!!!

now , all you need skimming the water is an orange cat at the bow 🐈 !!!

Thanks Jon, After attending the WBS and taking the Elements of Sailing. My desire to build a boat was solidified by sailing in The 12 1/2’s. By Wednesday of that week I when up to the WBS and purchased the Haven 12 1/2 plans. This past June, 5 years later, I launched my Haven 12 1/2, Skylark, during the WB show. A massive thanks to the Wooden Boat magazine, School, and Show without your support I wouldn’t have known what a pleasure it is to sail a 12 1/2! Bob Emser P.s. Skylark won best of Show for owner built sailboat.

Thank you for posting. Hopefully I get to sail one of these boat designs someday.

Extreme left magazine.

This "Stolen Valor" thing is a hoax. He did serve in the capacity of Command Sergeant Major without holding the rank. That's not at all uncommon especially in short staffed units and most frequently in Reserve and National Guard units. I served in a unit where a Captain filled a Major's Commanding Officer's slot. He was in fact the CO, we saluted and called him Boss. Lieutenants fill Captain slots all the time. So a Master Sergeant filling a Command Sergeant Major position in a Guard unit is far from extraordinary. None of this "Stolen Valor" BS at all. So go find a real issue... if you reds are capable of reasoned thought.

Dimensions are here.

How much did all of it cost

I do understand that clicks and traffic are important. But, the frozen snot boat and others are destroying the site. I do enjoy the Pro-boat end of things. I've had some runaway DC issues that helped a build. .I was anamatuer. But, I would love to to advise news. I wasbanned years ago by Scott because I was an antisemite dating a Jew.

You are a political arm. WBM has nothing to do with carvel, strip, etc. Boat. Wooden Boat Magazine is a radical left media outlet.

Hello Matt. You need to let viewersknow that Wooden Boat Magazine provides a forum that allows folks to promote assassination of former President Trump. JayInOz: As I said at the time, if the shooter had aimed for centre mass, trump would be under several feet of dirt right now. He was saved by the shooters youth, inexperience and inability to deal with high level stress- the latter understandable if he was aware that he was about to be thwarted with extreme prejudice- lovely term that. Wooden Boat Magazine is obviously a Left Wing Magazine that promotes assassinations of folks that aren't liberal Democrats. 3,600,000 posts in one of your " Bilge " political forums. 650,000 in your Building / Repair forum. 95% of that sub-forum has zero wooden boat experience.

great video. thanks for documenting this level of information.

It’s a beautiful boat but unfortunately from the prices people want for them the ballast is gold bars.

Just learned about the existence northwoods stroke. Thanks for showing the technique and the philosophy of the stroke.

Dimensions of the boat? Can you share your project?

God save the Wooden Boats

I have an Elco 9.9 on my 1444 modified vee jon, and it’s crap. Not even close to a 9.9 gas motor. I’d say it’s equivalent to a 3-4 hp gas. And it’s buggy. I had to add a hydrofoil and 9 pitch prop just to get decent performance, and now it draws too many amps and cuts out. Waste of money. I’m not happy. Go higher than a 9.9, and you’ll pay out the arse for weighty batteries. For now, move on from Elco. Plus their customer service is awful and you can’t get these things maintenanced or repaired anywhere. Live and learn. I just flushed thousands down the toilet. Pricey mistake.

What happened, did you guys go out of business ?

The transom area is a fail...

Jon Wilson loves the anti Trump crowd . Every dollar spent on that magazine goes to Biden PACs. I was putting together old growth DF today and realized The Wooden Boat forum was run by radical leftists.

The Bilge

As a kid in the 1960’s I sailed M boats with my dad at the Mill Pond Model Yacht Club in Port Washington, NY. We also had a larger A class boat. Used vane gears. At one point someone gave us an old radio and servo from RC aircraft. We fit it to an M boat for rudder control only and were competitive with the vane boats. Still have my M boat, a thing of beauty.

Your website promotes assassination of a former President. Good job.

Sometimes its the little tidbits of good information that makes the biggest difference . Thanks man .

Epic thumbnail. Great instructions

Jon Wilson, you let the wooden boat mag forum promote your stupid agenda.

Jon has maintained a forum about " wooden boats " that has nothing to do with "Wooden Boats". 3.6 million posts in the subforum " The Bilge" are 99.9% anti-anything not Left Wing. Jon started a magazine and now the subsequent forums are Leftist garbage. The forums run by Wooden Boat magazine are extreme Marxists. Most of them don't have boats or one built of wood. But Jon Wilson and WB magazine supports assassination of a candidate for president and the Supreme Court Justices

Where could one purchase copies of the drawings (profile, construction profile, section(s), lines, etc.) of this vessel? She is magnificent!

Any reliability issues?

Almost flat bottom?

Absolutely stunning! Where can I get the plans for this baby? I’m fixing to retire. Wife wants a boat. We looked around. Nah, told her I’m gon build one for her.

DNA

Beautiful

A good video

Solid, slow & beautiful work. She will be a marvel when finished. May I ask what you use for caulking? Many thanks!

I’m trying to remember why Alexandra is so familiar to me. Maybe Canoe Magazine years ago… still skilled. Beautiful canoe.

Replace all the frames, replace all the planks... is it the same boat?
