Did you mean diy? Haha.


Hauling boats I've never even seen a dug out. But I've seen a number of shops that took you back a long ways. Up in Maine for example was the best. Next week I hope to go out and see my grandkids in Washington. Of course I found a load of boats to travel with me. I'm bringing what's left of an old Thompson wood boat with and going to have a guy replicate it. I've seen his work and it would be very neat. That shop in the video looked awfully familiar. But not sure it wasn't a UK shop. Very neat to see this video, thanks.

Thank you very much for putting this up, really cool. I was wondering why he put those wooden plugs in the boat? keep it from splitting? Provide expansion? Looked rather "tender" to me. FRED

Was wondering the same thing about the plugs. Best I could come up with is they drilled the holes so they could see how thick the wood was on the bottom. Then plugged the holes.
