How to build wooden boats

If you would like to know how to build wooden boats the basic answer would be to first choose the type of boat that you are planning to build.  Only after you have decided on this factor you can make other plans on boat building.

The statement may be a bit weird but it is the fact.  If you need to build a boat for a fishing expedition with the family or a skiing sport, or a cruise or just for recreation you have to plan the material and the design according to this.

So the first step would be to choose a design.  This can be easily done through browsing through the internet.  If you are building a boat for the first time you definitely should choose a less complex design which would be easy to build.

Next you either buy the patterns and plans or you can download the 3D software that gives you not one but thousands of plans and patterns to choose from with building methods for each.

You need to get the required material to suit the type of boat you have planned to build.  But since you have planned to build a wooden boat you should learn to pick the right plywood for each part of the boat.  When selecting wood for the stern make sure it is only white oak as this is very strong.  

The plywood for the bottom and the sides could be either cypress, or pine or as mentioned in the user manual.  Since you need to put the plywood dimensions together you should get a saw for cutting, a planer, glue, epoxy, nails, ruler, T-shaped ruler, erase and pencils.
Start with fixing the sides in place according to the specifications in the manual, then move on to the stern which is very important.  Next, turning the boat upside down fix the bottom and once again turn the boat and start fixing the seats and the motor and engine.  

One at a time you should fix all the parts in their respective places with the help of the user friendly manual that you will be provided with.  Or if you are using the 3D design software it would be easier still.

Make use of the 3D software designs that are available in abundance in the software.  You pay a nominal rate for the software download but you benefit greatly from this in the years to come.  You can preserve it for a later time when you need to build a boat, or when you are requested by your friends to build a boat for them.  You could make a good income with the software of course!
