awesome video nat!! the mood (music + narration combo) is so calming, and it's really interesting from a non-craftsy person's perspective to see the kinds of methods you use to boat build!
Maybe add some sawdust to the glue, to make it a little thicker. Use that as a paste to glue your pieces together. I appreciate your videos, I have materials, and the plans for the regular "Mouse Boat". Not with a sail. Gonna start this week.
Thanks! I've used that technique before for filling gaps, but I'm not too worried in this application since I go over the seams with sealer which will also help hold the parts together. Ideally, I would coat the boat with fiberglass but I'm trying to build this on as much of a budget as possible just to show that it's possible. Also I'm glad you enjoy the videos, the next one should be soon, the weather has kinda made it hard to continue working on stuff right now, but I have two more episodes to edit that should be up within a week or two! Also good luck with your build, the regular mouse is a very easy boat to assemble and you could totally have one together in a day or two if you prep well.
@@NatashaB are you planning on Poor Man's Fiberglass? Or just painting? I'm planning on PMF, mine will be for smaller rivers and creeks near me. I will be using PMF over foam board for the hatch covers, for lighter weight, and for flotation if I get swamped. I have some other adaptations to make also, but have to see it coming together.
I don't plan on doing PMF, I was going to at first, but I haven't for any other boats that I've made using this same exact material, so I think I'll be okay. If I were building a larger boat, or using the boat in shallower water (I have a cabin by the lake here that I can get access directly to the deeper parts rather than just paddling on streams!) I would definitely PMF or fiberglass the bottom. It may not seem like much but the extra layer is a lot of scrub protection, especially for the soft layers of plywood.
Titebond makes an extremely weak joint when used in that manner, it isn't intended to be used in that manner. Hopefully you used fiberglass tape to cover and reinforce that joint. It is meant to be uses when two parts are clamped together, not 1/8 to1/4 inch apart, it doesn't fill gaps with any strength at all.

Thanks for the videos. One day [soon] I will build something similar. Keep the videos coming.

Great video!
Thank you!
Part 3 pleasee :)
It’ll be out Wednesday! I’ve been uploading every Wednesday for the boat stuff, some i will have little projects uploaded on other days though!

“This wont be what is sealing the boat.” “This is just to hold the pieces together until the sealer is applied.”
