[bolger] Re: 1st boat, a teal. Next, a scooner!
David - I'll want to hear about your scooner when you get it going! I
assume you've seen mine at www.carlsondesign.com...
Say, your message first came to me to moderate - wondering - did you sign
up for the group, or did you send your message before signing in?

First, thanks to Mr.Carlson for setting up this group.
Second, I've just glued on the last gunnel on my teal. A couple of thwarts and she'll be ready for painting. I have to admit I'm rather stunned by both the easy of construction, (I've only owned a skill saw for about 6 months,) and the grace of her lines.
Although the teal need a little more carpentery and paint, I've set my sites on the Light Scooner, and have even found a source for swivel guns. I figure one aft and one on each side (allowing two guns to be brought to bear in any direction) should be sufficient I expect I'll have to make a few modifications to the deck to take the stress of recoil. Any suggestions, either for arrangement or bracing, would be welcome.
TIA,
David Ryan
