<p>We got through the Mon Tiki build (Tiki 38) with eleven 18" bar clamps. That was just enough to do the scarfing for the stringers and masts.</p>
<p>Bought 20 more from Harbor freight at the start of this build, then a local woman was selling off her late husband's woodworking shop, so I picked up a bunch more.</p>
<p>I already know this work can be done without a mess of clamps, but working outdoors in the winter, we have narrower weather window, and having a lot of clamps lets us get more…</p>

<p>I already know this work can be done without a mess of clamps, but working outdoors in the winter, we have narrower weather window, and having a lot of clamps lets us get more work done when we have working weather. In this case we can lay up the three courses of 1x6 in one session, using the clamps to make sure everything is nice and tight.</p>
<p>If we were indoors we could probably have all six beams going at once, running a circuit of single courses and clamping with water jugs -- but then we'd be paying rent!</p>

<p>Just a quick update. Today we got the fourth of the Pahi's six akas laid up. With a little help from the weather we'll finish the remaining two in the next week.

<p>Yes, I built a PCB teal in 1999 and before that was finished I had the plans for his Light Scooner, which I launched the next year. Also build a couple of his Gloucester Gulls and a couple of Tortoises. Phil and Suzanne also started to draw me a 60' folding schooner, but were not able to finish the design before Phil's death. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Tam Dl said:…</cite></p>
