New build punt

[fenboy]

I haven't posted any pictures of the mistakes and the pile of rejects scrap ect

I'm sure you could do equal or better

All the best

Of

 

Nah he couldn't

[marsh man]

Thank you
Just building something that's pleasing to the eye and fits my guns
Well aware there are many designs area specific but realistically its more for fun than shooting a few ducks
More the stalk and getting me out on the marsh as I'm not so good at wallowing through the mud now
How's your pup doing ?
All the best
Of

However it turn out O F I am sure it will be very pleasing to my eyes and many of the P W followers of your currant thread.

 

My puppy is now 12 weeks old and he knows what a pea field is although he don't yet know the reason I go on there.

 

All the best and good with the build

[fenboy]

He is looking great marsh man as is your older dog.

pup looks good mate I like the way it looks at you

( like you got a sausage in your pocket) 😊

Looking for a pup myself

Anyway we digress

 

This punt is loosely based on dalgettie design with a bit of stuff I picked upon the last one built in and a few ideas that may or may not enhance it

All the best

Nah he couldn't

I'm a firm believer that if we put our mind to it anyone can do it

Lol

What including cutting all the frames twice 😧

and spending 3 hours fixing a plank on one side then 12 hours taking it off and refitting it cos it looked wrong not to mention

Glueing my jeans to my leg having to cut them off and finding I'd glued £40 aswell 😂

Other than that and a few small glitches its been plain sailing

All the best

[Old farrier]

Just to show the flare on the punt complicating the angles you have to plane on the edges

 

[Old farrier]

One for magman

The gap shouldn't be there

 

 

Had the angle a bit wrong so had to turn it over and plane 80 feet of timber to get it right 😊

 

 

The strips over the plank joints on the floor with the new frames fitted

Fitting first side plank

 

Showing bevel on edge when I finally got it right

 

 

Hope this is not to boaring for you lads 😗

Not at all OF. Keep the post coming.

It is great to see the progress you have made. You were only at the first stages when we visited back in March.

 

Keep up the good work

 

All the best

[marsh man]

He is looking great marsh man as is your older dog.

Thanks fenboy .... The old dog looks well, but his wildfowling days are numbered now due to his old joints getting stiff ( a bit like mine ) although he still enjoy retrieving a few pigeons but he needs more rest in between days out .

 

Nice looking pup. He looks very similar to mine!

Thanks motty ......Hope yours is showing early signs of potential and the training goes with very few problems .

 

Looking good Nigel very impressed BB

 

Lovely looking dogs marsh man BB

Thanks Bluebarrels......

 

 

First job of the morning is to put the kittle on , and then to see how the punt build is progressing .

 

Keep up the good work O F .

[Penelope]

A lovely solid pup there John. Ol' boy looks well too.

Many times interesting book and good sales pitch for plywood at the time

I would tell you that I shod one jacks horses Rosie a black driving cob but half the members on here would disagree and want eye witness reports

So discount the irelivent information

Anyway fun book to read thanks for your comments

All the best

This build seems to be progressing at a fair rate of knots OF ,I guess your previous build has stood you in good stead.

Or I did a lot before I posted any pictures 😗😗

 

 

It'll slow up shortly when the poults arrive and I have my trip away

Been practicing my Portugees 😂

[grrclark]

The work done so far looks excellent OF.

 

I know this is preaching to the converted a little, but the satisfaction of making something that is outside your comfort zone, watching how it comes together into a functional and attractive item that you can be rightly proud of is great.

 

That includes all the setbacks and mistakes and head scratching moments as it is only because of these things you really learn. If it was easy and error free it would be no fun

Thank you

Lot of satisfaction in creating something and as they say if you haven't made any mistakes you haven't done anything

Steep learning curve on any new project and very rewarding to get so many positive comments

All the best
