Tom's Shellback Dingy building project

Shellback Dinghy, designed by Joel White In 2001-2002 I took NMHA's adult course on wooden boat building. There I learned several skills, but principally to scarf plywood, a skill I lacked at the time. In the summer of 2002 I built this Shellback Dinghy from scratch. The following show has 69 slides with commentary on each, so to read all this and study the photos a bit will take maybe an hour.
