The first in a series of videos showing the steps we took to build a Classic MacKenzie River Dory. I hope you enjoy, please comment any questions or comment.
Thank you! I got the plans from Roger Fletcher's book "Drift Boats and River Dories". It is a great book and has something like 16 plans in it. You can build the boats from them, you just need to scale them up. I hope this helps, cheers!
Questions for you.. With the panels and scarfing plywood, the intructions say the sheets should be 4x16’ but after the joint it measures 4x15’6.. Is that how it’s supposed to be or do you need to have more than one joint per piece of plywood to make up the extra 6 inches? Thanks!
Looking forward to your progress as it seems to be off to an excellent start. All the best.
Thank you! Hoping to have the next part out in a week or so!
Just came across this. Will you be posting any more videos on your build?
Can't wait to see this come together - awesome work!
You and me both! Thank you!
Man, you’re off to an amazing start. Will you be posting anymore videos?
Thanks for sharing with us.
Good luck.
Thank you! Yes, this project got put on hold for the summer but I hope to continue it very soon.
Great job where did you get the plans for it thanks for sharing

Great question. I had to glue two 8' and one 4' panel up for each side. So there was 2 scarf joints per panel. I hope this helps, thank for watching!
Where’s part 2?!
what is this music please
