PocketShip Update

Builder's Forum

Keep those cards and letters coming, folks.  Many of the cards and letters have been asking where their PocketShip plans are.  Answer:  I haven’t finished them.  What, in June, looked very well in hand, compared to the dozen or so 11x17 sheets Geoff Kerr started with, has bloomed into 11 architectural sheets, a manual with 450+ photos, and a roll of full-sized patterns that’s over 116 feet long.  Seriously.  (Actually, it’s cut into seven manageable 16’7" lengths.  Then rolled.  I recommend building a paper canoe with the plans once you’re done.) 

It’s going to be a few more weeks.  Thanks for your patience, and it’s worth it.

I suggest making a paper canoe with the plans when you're done.



PocketShip will be in Maine at the WoodenBoat School next week.

John,

 Beside the full size films, do the plans also include the part patterns in reduced scale so you could more easily make a model? If not I would be interested in spending a few more bucks for say 1:8 scale patterns. I think it would be well worth the investment for anyone contemplating building the full size boat.
