I'm a professional carpenter, donw here in Brasil, then I'm confortable working wood. I'm not used to naval english, so, I will have problems. anyway, I'm very happy that I'm going to build my boat all by myselff. I'll thanks any help that I can get. Is there some one that got pictures or movies, building the shine skiff?I've looked for any movies at you tube and culd not find it. I really want her to be perfect.

Hi Jota,

Welcome to the forum, I am excited to have another skiff started. The skiff design is a new set of plans, so over the next few months we should see more pictures of it being built. Please post your progress and any questions here.

Hello,
I live in the state of Georgia west of Atlanta. I am a fan of boats and boat building. Though I have never built a boat, I would like too one day or at least refit the one I have. I own an FX20 that I bought 6 or 7 years ago from a fellow in Cresant City, FL - he built it originally. I love the wide beam and absolute stable fishing platform it provides. Its shallow water abilities are convenient at times especially on the local river here. I have years of side work experience in cabinet and furniture making along with remodeling. I do have a well equipped basement wood shop and also do some metal fabrication including MIG welding aluminum.
