Port Hadlock WA – Boat School – Nutshell Pram transom being epoxied-coated

September 22, 2020 by 4g3nd4

The Joel White-designed Nutshell Pram is a popular plywood composite pram. They’re an excellent project for our students as they can easily be built during the six month Contemporary Boatbuilding course taught annually from January through mid-June. We often build two at a time to give students more opportunities to learn the basics on these extremely capable small craft.

Prams have transoms on each end – the bow is usually a bit smaller than the stern transom. They’re workhorses, designed to carry a lot of weight back and forth to a boat from the pier. They’re designed to be easy to tow behind a sailboat, or to lift up and store on deck for longer passages. The Nutshell Pram succeeds admirably on all of these accounts.

The Nutshell Pram can be built as a rowing-only boat or equipped with a centerboard and spars so it can be sailed.

SCAMP, the class name of this little pram, stands for Small Craft Advisor Magazine Project. It was developed by New Zealand designer John Welsford for the Port Townsend-based magazine Small Craft Advisor. Designer/Builder Kees Prins helped to further develop the design. smallcraftadvisor.com/

The boat is 11 feet 11 inches long overall, has a beam of 5 feet 4 inches, and a draft of 7 inches with its offset centerboard up. It is ballasted with 173 pounds of water that is drained when the boat is hauled up the launching ramp, and consequently is easily towed behind any small vehicle such as Subaru Outback. smallcraftadvisor.com/scamppagemenu

It is considered a "micro-cruiser", and can sleep one person on a 8 foot 3 inch berth or two people on a 6 foot 6 inch berth. It accomplishes this massive amount of room in such a short length both because it is pram-bowed, meaning the vee-bow ends just above the water and flares into a flat transom, which significantly enhances available space, and because the centerboard is offset to one side (and is, in fact, nestled into the right-hand seat). As a result, four average-sized adults can easily fit into the cockpit with room to spare.

The boat can be built from plans or from a kit, both available from Small Craft Advisor. It has proven to be a very popular design, with dozens and dozens built to date all over the world.

Small Craft Advisor maintains a very active online discussion board for the boat, here: smallcraftadvisor.com/message-board2/viewforum.php?f=3

My sweet Boy!

September 16, 2020 by 4g3nd4

I made that stand almost 5 years ago to hold a bowl of water and little food from a can,
Their diet is dry food and placed in the basement this is like a treat for them in the kitchen,
the stand is made from leftover Ipe wood from a deck,
The table bellow also made from Ipe 6 years ago,
A little secret for your cats, if your cat has problem drinking water one way
to make her drink put some water in the can food, I usually put half a can and then some,
the water is gone first and then the food:-)

One last photo of the final paint job for this series…

Took it apart and only used the door and the molding. Right is an exterior door – Mayberry Street Yorktown door from Hobby Lobby

Crown molding: from a Miniatures store on Ebay
Door knobs and key hole: Classics, repainted aged bronze
