WDJ- Bill of materials
Dear Jack, Ian and other WDJ builders,
You asked for an estimate of number of ply sheets. I knew I posted a
B o M way back (Message 1437). Here is what I wrote:
"How many sheets of plywood? Er... I have to admit I have lost count
of how many. I calculated the bill of materials pretty accurately by
studying the plans before I startet building (well, I thought it was
accurate...) - three times I have had to buy more from the lumber
yard (and I'll probably have to go at least one more time).
I have been studying the plans again and I will give you a very rough
estimate:
1/2 ": abt 34 sheets
3/4": 9-10 sheets
Till now I have bought 31 or 32 sheets of 1/2 " and I still have not
installed the berth flats and so on. However, I have a lot of scrap
in my garage which I hope to use for interior, rudder, stem etc.
Epoxy? 130 kgs so far.... (West System)
Fiber glass? No idea!"
After Easter holiday I will have five full weeks dedicated to
finishing the Schooner. Photos will be posted.
