New guy building Squirt, looking for advice
Hi guys I am new to the forum and was looking for some advice in setting up with tooling.
I have decided to build a Nelson Zimmer Palm Beach 22' however as the department of war and finances denied funding for "such a ridiculous project", I have managed to acquire approval to build a smaller boat first, hence the Glen L Squirt. Hope my "master craftsmanship" will inspire confidence in the department to allow project #2 to commence. This should work out well because by all accounts I will have to build my first boat second. (I sound like one of you guys already, planning #2, not even started the first)
I have ordered the plans and await their arrival, feel like a kid waiting for Christmas to arrive, and was looking for some advice from other people who have built squirts or similar in regards to setting up with tooling.
I have ordered a #4 record professional plane, Japanese hand saw, Rasping file, Bacho chisel set. Have an electric drill, circular saw, belt sander, jigsaw, router, am acquiring g-clamps wherever I can get them and also have an assortment of hand tools as I am a Mechanic by trade.
Thanks in advance
Nikko
