Wooden Boat Building

Welcome to Shipshaped, the wooden boat building site with the ideal of equipping kids with skills and the motivation to go after their dreams.

One of the ways in which we can help them is to teach life skills, to give them a goal on which to focus. The emphasis is on the process of learning skills and working with attention and diligence.

Building a boat from wood is not as difficult as you might think. With the right plans, determination and a few basic hand tools, you can create a Wooden Boat of your own. Some canoe plans only require a few sheets of plywood and some epoxy. You can build a boat cheaper than you can buy one, that is certain. But, to craft your own boat is a real thing of beauty. Remember, it's not as difficult as you may think.
