BOATBUILDING - Part 2
|
|
||||
To make the barrel-float, you need a barrel, some poles, and two boards. The result will be a very unusual and individual boat.
A tin-can raft can be made in the same way as the tube-boat, with large cans such as oil drums instead of the tire tubes. If you're even more ambitious, you can build a regular boat, much like the ones built by some boys in Switzerland, who made a whole fleet. This boat has room for three or four boys. Measurements length: about 16 feet greatest width (must not be in the middle; rather than at the 8-foot mark, have the widest point about 71/2 feet from the bow): about 32 inches width of bottom: about 24 inches height: about 12 inches Materials pine or fir boards as free from knotholes as possible: 2 boards :3/4" x 12" x 16' 3 boards tongued and grooved: 3/4" x 24" (total) x 16' 2 beam pieces: about 6" x 8" x 18" laths: about 6" screws, bolts, 11/4" nails
