Setting Up Your Shop

[The Off Center Crew]

Here’s a video we made with Geoff Kerr as he started building the Caledonia Yawl in an unfamiliar bare space. It’s helpful for builders who need to make the most of limited space in a pseudo-make-do shop:

How to Build a Caledonia Yawl, Part 2 – Setting Up Shop

[John Hastie]

Just a quick note of thanks for this ‘setting up the workshop’ video.

The tips you included saved me considerable time and expense as I worked with my young Grandkids to set up our workshop for building small wooden boats (7 on the calendar so far).

It is possible I was over planning & designing for what was needed … perhaps more than a little.

We are thrilled with our open & flexible space.

We started building on 3/31/22 and had our ‘Family & Friends’ version of the workshop Grand Opening today – well and joyfully attended.

Our next event is our first official boat launch on June 30th 2022.

Yours with excitement and Great Appreciation,

John & my diminutive workshop crew (part of the next generation of wooden boat builders)

John – It would be great to see pictures of your workshop and your building crew! I had the pleasure of having two generations helping me on my Oonagh build as well!
