Great job sir. Saw your video on Jeff's channel yesterday and was impressed. She turned out beautiful and I might just have to build one for myself as well... so then there would be at least two in Alaska.

Let me know if you have any questions. I wouldn’t mind chatting about it sometime. I live in Eagle River.

Nice work I love the name here in Ireland a SELKIE is a mythical sea creature or reincarnation of a persons spirit as a seal 🦭

Yup. That's where I got the name from. I've always been fascinated by the selkie myths. And it seemed to suit the boat well enough.

This is an absolutely beautiful creation, but I'm concerned about the materials. Specifically the plywood. I'm unaware of any plywood, other than marine plywood, that can be weatherproofed enough to prevent delamination. Even glass and epoxy coated wood eventually succumbs to cracking, allowing moisture to penatrate. This also begins the process of rot from mold. But! Technology always advances. Are there treatments that prevent delamination and rot? I'd love to know. 😁

I used marine grade Douglas for plywood. Epoxy and fiberglass on the outer hull, oil finish inside.

@@akboy99 Thanks. I didn't know that marine plywood came in Douglas Fir.

Awesome job, she's beautiful! Looks like you are also making wonderful memories! Do you mind if I ask what paint you used on the bottom and sides?
@iandickson25593 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I used epoxy and graphite for the bottom, and Rustoleum Topsides for the rest of the hull.

I too like the slightly brown/ golden look of the plywood interior. Were you happy with the weatherability of the boiled linseed oil finish?
@iandickson25593 жыл бұрын
Not really... but I think it had more to do with the wood itself. Cheap wood caused lots of checking and the oil didn’t help at all. I’m going to refinish with penetrating epoxy and paint it.

@@iandickson2559 Thanks for quick reply. No easy answers on the fir/ pine checking problem. I built a 13ft canoe once from Radiata pine plywood ( sells as 1/4" fir in many places)& it's lovely stout wood to work with. My experiment was several coats of woodworkers glue brushed on the raw wood, then marine enamel inside & out. The job was ok but checked after a few years. For a " carry boat" I can still use it but if left in the water, sun/rain she would be toast in no time. That's ok. Her destiny is to one day become cut in half & I'll have 2 handy bookshelf units!

Hi. I have tried to get these plans but unfortunately Jeff has passed. Is there another way to get them?
