Wooden Boat Building Guide

By Martin Reid


What made you decide to build a boat by yourself? Or who inspired you to build a boat? What will you do with the boat after you have finished constructing it? These are just some of the questions that you have to consider. But, other than these, there are a lot more important things to think about before you begin making the boat of your dreams. Here are some of the questions that you need to consider carefully before building a wooden boat.

Why do you want a boat? Your answer to this first question has something to do with the designs, shapes, structures and construction methods as well as the size of the boat you want to build. In case, you want a boat for sailing purposes, the boat may be built in a different way in comparison to boat made for outing, fishing, and motoring. The design of the boat becomes different from the other depending on the type of use. This first question is very important and requires constant decision.

Where are you going to use the boat? This next question will influence the size and shape of the boat. Water conditions differ so you have to consider this fact carefully.

How mush is your budget? Beforehand, you need to decide how much you are willing to spend in constructing the boat. Remember that building a boat, whether a wooden boat or not, is expensive. Your budget will determine the finished outcome. Before you can decide the design, size and construction method of the wooden boat you wish you to make, settle with your finances first.

Where are you going to build the wooden boat? You should have a place to build this kind of thing. Because there will be a lot of materials needed for the construction, you need a wider space for storing and protecting the materials from the weather.

How will you get the boat to the water after the construction? Don?t think that it is a silly question, because it may cost you almost half of the whole budget you have used for the wooden boat in order to get the boat to the water.

Make sure that the place of construction is near enough for you to bring the boat to the water. Are you ready for this? This means do you have the materials and the tools? Are you skilled enough to do something like this? Generally, these questions will guide you with your decision making.
