Re: Skin-on-Frame: alternative build
In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: alternative build (tippy)
There's no need to reinvent the wheel. Boats have been built for thousands of years without epoxy and fiberglass. Instead of trying to invent a technology, why don't you read up a bit on traditional wooden boatbuilding, then you'll have a solid foundation of knowledge to build upon as you adapt technology to your use.
This is a good book. I use it as a reference: http://www.amazon.com/Boatbuilding-Manual-Fifth-Robert-Steward/dp/0071628347
As others have said, however, I would recommend using marine plywood and just build a stitch-and-glue with chine logs, paint it with marine paint, and call it good.
