Boatbuilding Tips and Tricks

This section of bertram31.com is, and will continue to be, a "Work in Progress".

It's existence originally arises from my involvement on the old boatbuilding.com bulletin board, which no longer exists.  If you are in the process of, (or thinking about), building, repairing, modifying, or otherwise getting your hands dirty on a boat, The Boatbuilding Community site is still a place you'll want to bookmark for other articles and tips.

As the title of this section implies, these are tips... Usually not in depth discussions of techniques, but rather quick pointers to possibly get you thinking in other directions from where you are now.

Check back from time to time for new additions.  While I have a rather large list of items to be included here in the future, additions are usually rather spontaneous and as a result of a current reply that I've given on one of the bulletin boards.

If you have a specific item that you'd like to see addressed here, send me an email!
