Klaus Hafner - Aluminum River Boat
Submitted by cac on Wed, 2006-12-06 23:02
Klaus is a man after my own heart... a self trained welder, he knew the type of boat that he and his family liked, and he designed one and has been building it. It reminds me a lot of the Dutch Barge look, but a bit more modern.He's not making plans available, but there are certainly some ideas to be gained from his design.

From Klaus
I have a CAD-model of the boat i'm building and cut those details out
to plot on a small plotter i need for the next building steps.
Sometimes bigger plots are created to get 1:1 drawings for punching lines to
the aluminum directly.
Not having the knowledge for construction plans and their rules,
i think (non-)professional builders would not be happy by random drawings
in "for me proper" scalings.
Sometimes i even take the notebook with me to the shop area, just to check
dimension "online",
which i like very much, as to measure distances not shown initially on a
"plan".
BR, klaus
