How to Build The Nutshell Pram with Eric Dow

We've converted our video originally produced in 1985 to DVD. It covers everything from selection of tools, to tips on rowing, sailing, and sculling. It's the perfect partner to our full-sized Nutshell and Shellback Dinghy kits, or any small glued-lapstrake plywood construction. Featured is the 9'6" Nutshell. Especially helpful to first time builders.
The video is also handy if you are building from our pre-cut kits. Although our kits have a building jig that is a slick improvement over the standard jig shown in the video, and the kit has the parts pre-cut, you can still benefit because the video shows handing planks as well as fitting the daggerboard trunk, adding details to seats, and much more.
