28 Feb 24: Here's a close up of some of the creeks, nooks and crannies that we'll be exploring, just off the southern end of the James River. The "Pagan River" is an impostor, its European name from the early 17th Century John Smith map was Warraskoyack, for the local indigenous Algonquin tribe of the Powhatan Confederacy. Later the name was changed to Pagan, reportedly the native word for pecan and it was a creek. Later again local officials decided that Pagan Creek didn't sound important enough to attract dredging money for steamboats, so now it's called Pagan River.    ..read more

New Launchings Hat from WoodenBoat

2w ago
26 Feb 24:  The little Nutshell Pram EXCUSE ME was one of the boats featured in the Launchings section of WoodenBoat Magazine No. 297, and as reward the folks in Brooklin, Maine sent us 2 nice hats,  a nice letter, a copy of the article and 2 stickers. That was very kind and we appreciate the though put behind the custom stitching of the hats. The hats are my favorite, made of a very soft prewashed cotton. The hat also has a low crown and comfortable leather adjustment strap on the back, so they'll stay secure in a blow.  And if you're not currently building a wooden boat, they ..read more

THIXO Gasket

3w ago
22 Feb 24: The previous attachment on this pole had a smaller diameter, so one choice was to cut the pole end off and reshape the end. Instead we filled the 1/8th inch gap with THIXO Pro. It dried very secure, no need for the little screw. When it comes time to replace the attachment, we'll use an oscillating multitool to gently cut the metal loose.  ..read more
