Re: Wood and Adhesives for Boat Restorations

Good stuff WoG, I bought the plans for Michalack's pickup pram a few years back as well as his plywood boat building book. The book was a good read and very informative but I still haven't built the boat so I can't tell you about it.

You might find the plywood boat in my signature line interesting. My 1st effort & a little bit of a modification to stitch & glue inexpensive plywood boat construction.

Good post WOG!

Excellent article, thanks for posting it. As he said, it may not be the end-all of testing, but at least it's a method to check out and beats no testing at all.

Re: Wood and Adhesives for Boat Restorations

This from Jim Michalak's April, 2002 newsletter ..

Its just a blog post .. and 10 years old at that ..

Who the hell is going to listen to this guy anymore ..

Gimme something new(ish) ..

YD.

Well the way I figure it is, If the plywood produced 10 yrs ago held up this well, I imagine all the improvements the industry has come up with in that amount of time can only make the new stuff a whole lot better and more durable. Prolly not too many people today willing to go to all that effort and report on it. Are you gunna do it YD? In all your Spare time!!!! When and if you do, Post the results so we can all benefit from it.;)
