Re: Boat Building Made Easy...
Dear Fellow Boat Enthusiasts,
I was just like most of you when I began in the great hobby of building boats.
My fascination with boats began as a very young child. My father would take me out to harbor, and I'd watch the boats bringing in the "catch of the day". It all seemed so magically to me as I think back to my childhood.
As my love of all things marine grew, my father started to take notice. On my 12th birthday, my father took me to the tiny woodshop behind our house. On the table was laying some type of a blueprint or plans for a project. My father was quite the handyman and was always working on something around the house, but these wooden boat plans looked much different than any I had seen in the past.
He continued to tell me that this was my birthday present. A piece of paper? I have to say for a moment I was incredibly disappointed. My father then proceeded to explain that these plans would help us to build my first model boat... I know, not what you were thinking. Because of our financial circumstances, my father and I were never able to construct anything larger than a simple model, but my passion for boats only grew.
Things worked out well for me after I left home. I got a good job and made a wage that was more than adequate to cover my family's expenses and even put some back. On a trip back home after the death of my father, I was going through some of his old things and found that first boat we'd built together. I'd be lying if I said it didn't bring back some of the best memories of my life. I loved building those tiny boats and always dreamt about building the "real thing".
When I got back home, I found a local shop that had plans for a small dinghy. It was a very basic boat, but I ran home with the boat building plans and got to work. I'd done this several times before, just on a smaller scale.
However, after slaving away for countless hours and using any spare time that I had on my project, I realized that it was not coming together as easily as I had thought. The plans I had purchased were incredibly difficult to understand and left a lot to be desired. I ended up guessing and basically had a half-finished boat that could not be salvaged.
I went out and purchased some more wooden boat plans, not really knowing exactly what I wanted to build. Once again, I forked over more cash on some plans that could have been written in Greek! I spent far too much on materials as the plans just weren't clear and once again I ended up with a half-finished boat.
After spending thousands of dollars on my childhood dream hobby, I was on the verge of just giving it all up. Trust me; at that point, my wife would have been incredibly happy if I had. My "hobby" was stressing me out and I still did not have a completed boat to show for the time and money I had invested.
I'm sure most of you have been there at some point... you've put your blood, sweat, and tears into a new project and get stumped somewhere along the way.
"Look. The worst part is when your significant other or one of your friends asks that inevitable question, "How's that boat coming along?" Nothing is more disappointing than starting something and not being able to finish it. I've been there, and it feels lousy."
Just when I was about to give it all up, through sheer luck, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to a local, master boat builder. He held my hand over the next year and would help me "fill in the gaps" on the boat plans I had purchased. This gentleman truly took an interest in me and my passion for boats. I think he was just trying to give something back...
Eventually, my skills improved, and I could proudly say that I had completed my first wooden boat. Without that man's knowledge, I never would have succeeded on my own by solely using the low quality, expensive boat plans that are commonly available.
And what I discovered was this: Building boats is not hard if you have a step-by-step approach to follow.
31 years later, I'm still building boats.Over the years, I've amassed over 500 of my own boat plans!
In order to help out some of my friends that also participate in this great past-time, I decided to go above and beyond and include simple, easy-to-follow, step by step instructions with all of my boat plans. Since I don't have the time to mentor every person I meet that is interested in learning to build boats, I felt like this was the best way to give back...
After 31 Years Of Boat Building, I'm Giving Something Back...

Rainbow House Ab Rogers Design Transformer Home Vlad Mishin
Hidden passages were once reserved to sprawling, labyrinthine abodes of barons and kings. Nowadays there are plenty of modern passageways discretely built into even the most modest of homes. From underground wine cellars to “Batcave”-like garages, homeowners are designing living spaces with plenty of concealed nooks and crannies to ensure a quick getaway — or perhaps to simply take their home to the next level. Below are some of the more innovative hidden spaces from around the globe.
Architecture firm DA Studio and artist Richard Woods created the four-story Rainbow House in downtown London. With transforming furniture, rotatable rooms, and a vibrant spiral staircase that spans four floors and showcases the entire color spectrum, this home is a sight to behold. One of the true gems inside of the Rainbow House, however, is the secret passage built directly into the floor of the master suite. Using this hidden doorway and a connected slide, individuals can quickly transition from the bedroom to the recreational room below.
Plain walls and doors are boring. Why not jazz up your living room and add a rotating wall? This wall, made of a black metal framework and plywood, transforms the living room into a kitchen and reveals the home’s TV set. The faceted panels can also be set apart and used to separate two individual rooms.
Spiral Cellars
Love wine but can’t find a fresh spot in your home to store your collection? United Kingdom-based company Spiral Cellars can solve this problem for you. The company is well known for its dynamic wine cellars, like this underground beauty that be installed in your ground floor.
Need to escape after dinner for some quiet time to think and reflect (and digest)? This stunning Jefferson, New York home has a secret doorway installed in the kitchen ground floor that leads to another section of the house.
Sometimes what’s behind a bookcase is even better than what it holds on its shelves. A spacious wine cellar rests behind a bookshelf in this beautiful home in Tacoma, Washington, for example. It definitely comes in handy while you’re submerged in a Danielle Steele novel.
This country-style house is straight out of a fairy tale and rests on a hill in rural Maine. A hidden passageway lies behind a bookcase that’s located in the turquoise-painted common room, allowing quick entry into a secret bathroom. Talk about a great escape.
We thought a house like this only existed in The Dark Knight films. Made to replicate the iconic superhero’s pad, this house was built with an underground parking garage that’s accessible from the house’s tennis court. With illuminated lights on the ceiling and grey tiles on the floor, this will make any average Joe instantly feel like Batman.
The architecture firm Creative Home Engineering specializes in an array of custom hidden doorways for your home. The company features one of their electronic models at the nine-second mark in the video above. With the click of a button, a staircase lifts, allowing individuals to access a hidden recreational room.
This article was originally published on April 17 and updated on March 24 by Dallon Adams to include the Rainbow House and Create Home Engineering.
Forget about rice wine. China has begun to worship the grape. International vintages are trending. What’s more, Kyle Lawrence Mertensmeyer notes, “Even China’s own wine-making culture is picking up.” He’s a partner in a firm that supplies inspirations and designs for cellarage.
One of Mertensmeyer’s most elaborate installations yet is in a wine-friendly port city that spares oenophiles high taxes. The specific location is a former bunker beneath what was once the British consulate—built in 1887 on a grand square and recently revamped as a wine club. Today that 27,000-square-foot subterranean space holds 1,000 storage lockers, rented to members.
Steel racks give the rows of bottle tops a pointillist allure. Granite rubble, produced by minor additional excavations for circulation as well as storage, is now caged to create interest on walls and a vaulted ceiling. One VIP room centers on a chalicelike platform that offers a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding collection. Wine barrels are another decorative motif. Finally, there’s a special spot for toasting the wedding anniversaries of couples who were married upstairs in the club.

This was taken just after finishing the doors and the jambs with spar urethane. The natural color of the wood really came through just by applying the clear urethane. It's evident when you compare it to the previous photo in this set.
The backfilling is also complete and the cellar is ready for use. We had to add two retaining walls out front on either side in order to hold back the amount of backfill that was necessary. Fortunately, I had some small boulders in the woods nearby that we could use to build the walls. I'll touch up the backfill in spring after it settles and plant some groundcover to keep the erosion to a minimum.
This was a fun project, but I'm glad it's finally finished. Now I can start my woodshed.......
This step by step diy project is about outdoor rabbit house plans. I have designed this cheap rabbit hutch out of wood so you can keep your favorite furry pets in a clean and safe environment. The top roof is actually a lid so you have easy access to the house and clean it regularly. In addition, the bottom run is ideal for the rabbits as they can move and stay healthy. I have other rabbit hutch designs you can see HERE.
Generally speaking, there are many designs and sizes you can choose from when building a rabbit hutch, so we strongly advise you to check all the options before starting the actual construction. Always choose professional plans and invest in the best quality lumber you can afford (pressure treated lumber, cedar, pine). Use a quality saw to adjust the size of the components at the right dimensions.
Projects made from these plans
Rabbit House Plans
Building-a-bunny-house
Building a rabbit house
Building-the-side-walls
The first step of the project is to build the sides for the rabbit hutch. Cut the components from 2×2 lumber, using the instructions from the diagrams. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the horizontal components and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the vertical supports. Insert 2 1/2″ pocket screws and add glue to the joints.
Building-the-front-wall
Build the front wall for the rabbit hutch from 2×4 lumber and 2×2 lumber. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the 2×2 components and lock everything together tightly with 2 1/2″ screws. Add glue to the joints and make sure the corners are right-angled.
Building-the-back-wall
Build the back wall for the rabbit hutch in the same manner described above. Add glue to the joints, making sure the corners are square.
Assembling-the-rabbit-hutch-frame
The next step of the outdoor bunny hutch project is to assemble the frame. Align the edges flush and then make sure the corners are square. Drill pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws, every 8″.
Floor-frame
Assemble the floor for the bunny house, as well. Cut the 2×2 components at the right dimensions and then assemble the floor frame with 2 1/2″ screws. You can drill pilot holes and insert the screws, or you can drill pocket holes and insert the screws.
Fitting-the-floor
Fit the floor frame to the rabbit hutch frame and then secure it into place with 2 1/2″ screws, after drilling pilot holes. Make sure you align the edges flush and leave no gaps between the components. Now it a great time to staple the hardware cloth to the floor, making sure you cut out the area where the ladder will be.
Building-the-partition
Build the partition for the rabbit hutch from 3/4″ plywood. Mark the cut lines for the opening and then cut out the excess with a jigsaw. Smooth the edges with sandpaper and drill pocket holes along the sides of the panel.
Fitting-the-partition
Fit the panel to the rabbit house and align it properly. Insert 1 1/4″ screws to secure the partition into place.
Attaching-the-back-wall
Attach 1/2″ plywood siding to the back of the rabbit hutch, using 6d nails.
Side-walls
Attach siding panels to the side of the rabbit hutch, as well.
Building-the-ladder
Build the ladder for the rabbit hutch from 2×2 lumber. Cut the components at the angles and dimensions shown in the diagram. Drill pilot holes through the sides and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the steps. Add glue to the joints and leave no gaps between the components.
Fitting-the-ladder
Fit the ladder to the rabbit house, drill pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws so you can lock them into place tightly.
Fitting-the-top-lid
Build the lid for the rabbit house from 2×4 lumber. After cutting the components at the right dimensions, you need to drill pocket holes at both ends of the 41″ long components. Insert 2 1/2″ screws into the perpendicular components. Add glue to the joints and make sure the corners are square. Use hinges to secure the lid to the bunny house.
Fitting-the-roofing
Attach corrugated sheets to the lid and secure them into place with screws. I have designed the house with the top lid, so you can have easy access to the inside of the hutch and clean it.
Fitting-the-hardware-cloth
Attach the hardware cloth to the bottom and to the front of the hutch using staples. Make sure you leave the door openings aside.
Building-the-doors
Build the door frames from 2×2 lumber. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the vertical components and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the perpendicular components. Add waterproof glue to the joints for a proper bond. Attach hardware cloth to the bottom door and 1/2″ siding to the top door.
Fitting-the-doors
Fit the doors into the opening and then secure them into place with hinges. In addition, fit small latches so you can lock the doors and keep the bunny safe from the predators.
Bunny-house-plans
Last but not least, you need to take care of the finishing touches. Make sure there are no sharp edges exposed and fill the holes with wood putty. Smooth the surface with 120-220 grit sandpaper and remove the dust with a cloth. Apply a few coats of paint or stain to enhance the look of the components for a neat result.
Wooden-rabbit-hutch-plans
The rabbit hutch has a nice appearance from all angles. Make sure the corrugated sheets overhang the house for about 1″ on all sides, so it drains the water properly.
Cheap-rabbit-hutch-plans
This bunny house it is both easy and cheap to build. All the materials are available to all DIY stores and you only need common household tools to get the job done in a professional manner.
Rabbit-house-plans
This bunny house will allow you keep your furry pets in a clean and safe environment. In addition, the pets will have plenty of space to move in the run and stay healthy.
