[bolger] WDJ bill of materials
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, stemetc.
Epoxy? 130 kgs so far....

Fiber glass? No
idea!
I use Meranti plywood.
Marine quality but not free from voids. Cheap though. To late I found out that
my local lumber yard had Meranti ply of much better quality than what I had
already bought from another source. Ocoume is abt 2-3 times as expensive as the
Meranti I use.
I am looking forward to
hear from you!
