Nutshell Pram EXCUSE ME Building Molds

 27 Jan 22:

We cut out the building molds for the Nutshell Pram today, they are temporary pieces that help define the shape of the boat while it is in the first stage of construction. The plans call for 1/2 or 3/4 inch plywood, or they can be put together from pieces of solid wood. 


The full size patterns for the molds comes with the set of plans.


We pricked the corners and centerline marks for the molds into the plywood with an awl.


Then we connected the dots with a straight edge and Sharpie. 


I marked the wrong line here, but caught my mistake before I did any cutting.


Cut the lines with our DeWALT 6 1/2 inch left handed 20V circular saw. 


Here are the two finished molds.
