I lost several pines in an ice storm that hit my NJ house. Sad to watch them go one after another My son lost trees at his house outside of Richmond

20 years ago this would have been a private matter that only those involved knew about. Thanks to modern technology the entire world now knows about their antics and is discoverable by a current or future employer. I was always taught the Mark Twain quote "better to be thought a fool then open...

Nice work Eric, I spy some lock joint work on the top. Keeping the machine busy? I built a simple hammer rack years ago that keeps the handles vertical to take up less shop space. Rick

In NJ, trailers I have registered didn't have titles but those were for boats under 20'. I have registered a trailer as homemade in NJ. For the boat you could register it as homemade if you make a bunch of repairs to it. https://www.nj.gov/mvc/vehicles/boating.htm

Listed as a Wooden Sailboat but it is a sneakbox. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/630975149270025/?referralSurface=messenger_lightspeed_banner&referralCode=messenger_banner Rick

Sorry for your loss, nice final ride. Rick

Eric, I would place REAL NAME REQUIRED in larger font and red above the Username box or change Required under username to Real Name Required in red. People are probably not reading the text below the box. Rick Lathrop

I am not a huge fan of drain plugs. The prior owner of my melonseed had a drain plug aft of the centerboard trunk but left the cockpit uncovered over the winter. Once the bottom of the boat filled with leaves and plugged the drain hole, the bottom rotted out around the plug. Just a concern...

Very nice garvey. i like the lines seems well proportioned. Nice photobomb of the racing sneakbox in the background of your photo. Rick

The next step is to setup the keelson. I first milled a 2x6-16' to the necessary thickness and width. I used the 16' in case there were splits in the ends of the board. Using the jig for the ribs I used a bevel to set my table saw to the needed angle. After verifying the setup with a test...

Steve, WP Stevens is in the resources section. The Barnegat Cruiser was developed for cruising not really duck hunting. https://duckboats.net/community/attachments/foreststreamxxv_497-jpg.57968/ Rick Lathrop

Steve, Great writeup. Looking over many sneakboat plans I think a qualifying feature of a traditional sneakbox is the forms are all built to a constant arc. Would a harpin also be a required feature to qualify as a traditional sneakbox? Rick Lathrop

Is this a pond box since I don't see motor or sail fittings? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/601068632308426/?ref=product_details&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks

Eric, The gusset sits on the rib face since the rib is 3/4" wide and is half lapped to the 1" rib riser. I half lapped on the 1" rib riser so the gusset would be level across the face. If you look at the midships section on the resource the Ribs are 3/4" wide by 1" deep, the Rib Risers are...

Richard Lathrop submitted a new resource: Gussets and Ribs - Creating Gussets and installing ribs Read more about this resource...

Once the side planks are installed it was time to make up the gussets for the rib assemblies. The plans call for a gusset on each side of the ribs notched to accept the keelson. I drafted the gusset in Fusion360 and cut the gussets on my CNC router. The gussets could easily be made on a table...

Capt, I think that would be great. Eric, Could these be placed in an album under media? Rick Lathrop

It would be great if you shared and started a historical image archive. Rick
