Re: [bolger] Helpful Building Video
I wonder how much of Bolger is in John's sharpie? His Proa too?
I am a big fan of clc having built the Cape Charles 18. I have a set of ama's under construction for the tri using a Chesapeake Double as the main hull. (I did cut my own panels on the ama's).

Look for a review in Chuck's Duckworks Magazine sometime in
the near future.
It's a very funny video about building. Although the focus is a
Chesapeake Light Craft kayak kit, all the techniques are
germane to simple chine-built boats of the sort that many folks
discuss here.
So if anyone on the list has Epoxy Phobia, this is a great way to
get over it.
There are a few clips on the Web already, see the link below.

CLC Kayak-Building Video is Informative AND Watchable
If a picture is worth a thousand words, moving pictures are worth
even more to anyone who tackles a boatbuilding project.
"The Zen of Wooden Kayak Building: How to Build a Lightweight
Sea Kayak" was released just before Christmas on VHS
cassette and DVD.
Emphasizing epoxy-fiberglass work and varnishing techniques,
the 60-minute video features the popular Chesapeake 16 kayak,
but it's more than that: the techniques are so clearly
demonstrated that it clarifies how to build almost any
stitch-and-glue boat. "Arcane and abstract stitch-and-glue tasks
are much easier once a builder has seen how it's done and how
easy it really is," says CLC president John Harris. "It's serious
boatbuilding, but my challenge was to make this video fun to
watch."
Harris worked with SamZak Productions to produce CLC's first
boatbuilding video. "With the talented group at SamZak on board
it all fell together," says John. With SamZak, he wrote a script
and organized a 70-hour video shoot in a specially-built studio.
"We put together 13 boats, each assembled to a different point,
to avoid delays while the glue dried," he remarks.
The production crew boasts four Emmy awards collectively.
Producer Kathy Nelson is a "Today Show" veteran. Randy Birch,
also from NBC, was director of photography. Original music is by
John Harris (who has yet to win an Emmy).
Expect to be entertained. "Our goal throughout was to create an
informative and watchable video -- a lot of boatbuilding videos
contain the info but they'll put you to sleep before you've
absorbed any of it," remarks Harris.
The video is replete with clear visuals and engaging wit,
including Vikings and a ubiquitous guy in an ape suit who assist
as John completes the boat. John says, "We really enjoy
teaching people how to build our boats, but we can only teach so
many classes in person each year. For a fraction of the cost of a
class, Zen of Wooden Kayak Building lets everyone in on the
techniques I've used for years building scores of stitch-and-glue
boats."
