In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: questions for kirk (dave g)

: Hello kirk I have been looking at the sea fleas that you have been
: building and am going to start one for my son and have a couple
: of questions for you. I am thinking of doing the 11' er as my
: son is the same age and size of tucker so

: 1. how long did you make the strongback?
: 2. At what height did you set the first and last stations off the
: strongback? (instructions show like 1/2 an inch from zero but
: how many inches up worked for you?)
: 3. How did you determine the shape of the bow and stern forms?
: 4. How dimensions did you make the stringers?

: I do really well with following instruction but suffer slightly
: when left to my own creativeness any other info would be greatly
: appreiciated such as a cut list ( maybe you have this since you
: have built two) or anything else you could provide.
: My e-mail is d_gnr@hotmail.com
: thanks in advance

Hi Dave

I just discovered this post. I'll put together a reply to your questions tomorrow night. I've got a lot of detail on a spreadsheet I'll be glad to send you.
