This is a page where I am collecting information for skin on frame construction. I am gathering this information for the possibility of building a velomobile using skin on frame techniques. This page will consist of links mostly. My inspiration for this technique is Rick Gritters streamliner. From time to time I have seen reference to a velomobile being built from a…

Hello DIYhard boat builders! I'm back again with another question. Last summer my daughter and I built the Bolger dory and much rowing ensued. We explored

My Tom Moen kayak at Detroit Lake, Oregon
We may earn commissions if you shop through the links below. Shortly after I published the plans for the 1894 Unalaska Baidarka, Bill Samson wrote me about his skin-on-frame replica of the boat. He said that he worked from a pre-publication survey from master kayak draftsman Harvey Golden, author of Kayaks of Greenland: The History and Development of the Greenlandic Hunting Kayak, 1600-2000. Golden’s survey differs from Chapelle’s. Samson writes, “The Chapelle survey seems to have been done in a hurry and shows an additional stringer each side that isn’t actually there. Harvey’s also shows a distinct turn-up of the deck ridge at the tail – There’s no evidence that this is due to collapse. The ribs have all collapsed – fore and aft – at the keel, so the bottom would originally have been more deeply veed than the Chapelle drawing suggests.” Pictures of the Unalaska Baidarka Samson gave me permission to publish several photos of his Unalaska kayak. Note the wonderful bifid bow, and the string decorations at the bow. You can’t add those types of decorations to a plastic or composite boat. To me, the decorations make the boat look alive. Baidarka Trailer While Samson built the kayak, his friend and filmmaker Daphne Barbieri documented the process and produced a DVD about the process. Order Copies of the DVD from Daphne Barbieri. Her email address is [email protected] You need to specify the format – for the US and Canada order NTSC and these cost 15 pounds each. For other parts of the world the format is PAL and that costs 10 pounds per copy. Both prices are inclusive of postage.

Building a skin-on-frame dory
I am a toddler, maybe two or three, teetering between awake and asleep. My earliest memories, like this one, are dreamlike. I am in a metal-framed carrier way up high on my father’s back, walking along a pathway after a long day at some sort of festival. The visual details are hazy, but the memory's…
Hello, I’m thinking of building a boat partly with skin on frame technique. Why? I helped build a strip-planked canoe many years ago, that was very time-consuming and I’m afraid I don’t have the skills to do it alone. My wife and me bought a glass-fibre canoe later, but at about 65lbs and 16ft length it is too heavy and cumbersome to use it frequently – we can only store a boat in the basement and have to carry it up stairs before we can lift it onto the car. So something
