[/font][font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]I finally have my website up and have included a step-by-step on building one of my gunning boxes (which have been discussed more than once over the years here at duckboats.net). Plans and instructions were first published almost 30 years ago - when print limited me to 2/3 page in a newsletter. The e-world now let's me go more in-depth. At my website http://stevenjaysanford.com/sanford-gunning-box/ are now the plans themselves, 3 pages of back story, 6 pages of narrative and 125 images (in 6 galleries) of the building process.
Here is the original article.
Here are the plans - if you print them, do so on 11x17 paper (Kinko's, etc) for best results.
Here is a slide from Gallery 1 - Layout & Cutting
Gallery 2 - Fastening the sides.
Gallery 3 - The transoms and backrest.
Gallery 4. Prep for 'glassing.
Gallery 5 - Headpiece, paint.
Gallery 6 - Canvas and thatching.
As always, I hope these are helpful - and welcome all stories and ideas.
All the best,
SJS
