To Our Step-By-Step Written
Dory Plans, Including
Crystal Clear Digital Pictures of Every
Step In
the Dory Boat Building Process.
Remember
walking into a Carpenters
shop when you were a kid?
That
smell...
As
soon as you walked into that place you were struck by the smell of the
wood. It went up your nostrals and straight into your soul.
It
felt comfortable.... It
felt right, didn't it?
And
the sounds...
The
saws and the hammer.
Someone sanding a board by hand.... Can you hear it now?
Even
if you were blind you would know that place was special.
Something was being crafted there. Made from scratch.
The
feeling was almost biblical.
Well,
we live in a very different
world today don't we?
Technology
has consumed our every waking moment and our kids and grandkids spend
more time on the computer, texting or playing video games than we care
to talk
about.
Folks seem
to have
forgotten the pure joy and pleasure that comes from building something
with their own two hands.
They've forgotten the smell of
the wood. You know what I mean?
Stick
with me for a few minutes I will show you how to bring back that sense
of satisfaction and peace that only comes from creating something with
your own two hands...
Let
me explain …
I have a good friend (Wilbert)
who
is 82 years old and in perfect health… Why should you care?
Here’s why …
Wilbert Wants to Teach YOU How to
Build a Wooden Dory
And
he's one of the most qualified people anywhere in the world to
do it!
You see, Wilbert
is a master carpenter who knows wooden boats. In
fact, he has an
amazing 66
years of wooden
dory boat building experience.
Think about that
for a second. Sixty-Six
years. He built of
of his first dory boats at the tender age of
16 and hasn’t stopped since.
Now
he’s 82 and
happier and healthier than anyone I know. At 38, I can't keep up with
him!
Can you image how much this man
has learned in those 66 years of building wooden dory boats? I am
willing to
bet he
has learned as much as anyone else in
North
America
about building wooden boats. What’s the
best part about his storied boat building knowledge?
It
all came from hands-on,
practical experience. Day in and day out for 66 incredible years.
In
fact …
He learned wooden dory boat
building from his
father who was a fisherman who fished the
Grand
Banks in
dory boats
…His father learned it from his father before him. There is literally 4
generations of boat builder’s here.
How
cool is that?
Here's
How This Instantly Benefits You
Wilbert called me one day and
said
quite matter-of-factly …
“I
Want
to Teach People How to Build Wooden Dory Boats. And Make it So Easy
That ANYONE Can Build a Dory Boat Using My Dory Plans”
Knowing
that Wilbert is not
exactly the type of guy who stands in front of a group of students
dressed in
fine academic attire, I said: “Just
how
do you plan on doing that?”
“Well, you have a
Bachelor’s
degree in English and a Masters Degree in Business and I have built
more wooden boats than anyone else I know... and I can teach anyone how
to do it if you;ll write it up"
“I
absolutely know that I can teach anyone
how to build a dory, even
if they don’t know a hammer from a hole in the ground!”
“…
and you’re gonna take digital
pictures of everything from start to finish so that anyone could build
a boat
just from the pictures alone. "
"I
want the
pictures to be so detailed that even if we didn’t say a word, anyone
could
build a boat just by following them”
That’s
Wilbert for ya … No half measures.
Wilbert
Built a 16’ Dory Boat From Start to Finish
(He’s
Single-handedly Built
54 of them in the last 8 years alone)
But
This Time He Wrote Down Everything He Did …
and I Mean Everything
E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G
- He
gave me pages and pages of notes and measurements written on everything
from yellow notebook paper to small pieces of plywood. I believe I even
got one note on the back of some “sail cloth”
. He left nothing out
- He
listed every single dory boat material used so
that you
know exactly what to buy before you start building your dory boats.
Then, I took
pictures of it all.
I
even took
pictures of the screws he used so that you would know exactly what to
buy
- He
discusses dory boats glue in detail and explains all you need to know
about where
and how much to use it
- I
took pictures of each tool he used
so there would be no guess
work
- He
made sure every dory plans building piece could be purchased from any
local lumber
yard and hardware store so that you can get materials easily
- Wilbert
then began building his dory boat and wrote
out
step-by-step, everything he did
- He
included all the special tips and techniques he has learned over his 66
years of building
dories
- He
included a list of things you should absolutely
avoid doing. He’s made all the mistakes so you don’t have too
. You
benefit from his 66 years of
effort.
- He
drew up pictures of exactly how each dory timber should look
- He
explained how he makes every dory boat cut, no
matter how
simple or complex
- Wilbert
wrote up pages of notes on what tools he uses, which ones he no longer
uses and why
- He
drew up an image of the dory stem so that you
could
see how each cut looks, and included exact measurements
- Wilbert
explains how to build your dory in almost any location
- He
went from a pile of lumber on the floor to a
fully completed 16’ grand banks dory boat (one of his best) and
documented not only everything he did but also explained why he did it
( that's super important )
...
And I took Crystal Clear
Digital Pictures
of
every single Dory boat building step,
Just for you!
You
will build this dory so quickly and easily that you'll feel
like you
were born to do this.
When
we were finished, he handed
me all of his notes (237 pages of material) and said “Here, go
fix my
poor grammar and make dory plans out of this.”
And
that is exactly what I did….
There
is an interesting
story here about my editing that is very revealing for you.
You
must keep reading...
I took Wilbert’s detailed
material
and virtually locked myself away in my basement / workshop (I wanted to
be
closer to my wood and tools) for weeks compiling it. Two
months it took me to get this document
formatted the way I wanted it. I even
hired a graphic designer to do the book cover.
My
wife was ready for a divorce.
Building a dory is all I
thought about… All
the while, I had a plan…
I
could hear Wilbert’s voice
saying
“These
dory plans have to be so easy
to follow, that a complete beginner could build a professional quality
Dory in
2-3 weeks”…
But
that wasn’t all…
He
also said:
“Fraser,
the dory plans must also be challenging enough for an experienced
builder to
get a
real kick in the pants from following them. It has to be a fun project
for
everyone”
So,
after 2 months of editing and
compiling, I finally presented the “finished” dory plans book to
Wilbert, who sat
down in
a quiet place and reviewed it (he later told me 8 times before he was
done).
Wilbert
said:
“These dory
plans are good, but
not as good as it needs to
be. I have highlighted what needs fixing"
Stuff like …
- You
need to make this easier for a beginner to build a boat….
- You
need to explain the tools better…
- You
need to explain what wood we use and why we use it…
- You
need to describe what glue we use and how much we use…
- You
need to detail how we plank the dory better and include my tips and
tricks for easy dory planking…
- Include
more pictures…
- Include
more drawings…
- Explain
the thwarts in more detail, like how to cut them out to fit the
timbers…”
The list went on
and on….and so
did my revisions…
In
total, we made 36 re-writes of the “finished” Dory plans.
Each
re-write contained 12-24 revisions.
(Talk about
dedication to
getting a
world-class dory boat product)
Until…
One
hot and humid day in August
(where I’m from, hot and humid days only come in August!) I finally got
his
approval….
The
dory plans were the absolute best
they could be, as far
as this
master builder was concerned.
And
when Wilbert says, “These
dory plans are perfect”, you had better
believe it, cause he’s the type of guy that will make you take off
three
strakes of planking if he sees the garboard plank has even the hint of
a crack
in it.
The
unique result of all this effort?
Building
Your Own Dory Boat Will Bring You Happiness and Inner Satisfaction That
You Just Can't Get Anywhere Else
Human
beings are creative animals. We were not put on this earth to
sit
at a desk. We weren't put here to type on a computer all day or sit in
traffic.
We
were put here to create. To build. To do something with our hands.
Look
around. The happiest folks are those who are using their hands to build
something. To create something from nothing. Wilbert is the happiest
person and most content man that I have ever known. He gets his peace
from crafting. Building something tangible from nothing only a pile of
wood.
You
can get the same inner contentment. Feel that same satisfaction when
you wake up every morning, knowing you are building a boat with your
own two hands.
Your
Dream of
Building and Owning Your own Wooden Dory Boat Is Reality.
Just
imagine the satisfaction you'll get from building your
very own dory boats. Anyone
can do it
following our uncomplicated Banker Dory plans. After
all, it is based on 66
years of wooden
dory boat boatbuilding experience and has passed the trials and
tribulations of 3
months
and 36 re-writes, including almost 800 edits.

You
Just Heard How
Great Our Plans Are From Past Customers –
Now
I Want You To Buy Our Competitors Dory
Plans
That might sound crazy coming from a
guy who is peddling
dory plans himself huh?
But the truth is, there are indeed
other places out there to
buy dory plans. And
they have some
really great products. In fact, I encourage you to purchase them and
take a
good look through them. Most come with money back guarantee’s so you
can get
them with no obligation….
Then get our plans and do a good
side-by-side comparison.
I
guarantee that you will absolutely
be convinced that our
dory plans are better. So much better that you will keep
them for life
and
return the “others”. In
fact…
There's
Absolutely NO Comparison...

You can
clearly see the difference we offer you. You will plank your dory with
timber
the old-fashioned way.
And you will do it with our step-by-step help.
What
Building
Materials Will I Use?
Good
question and
I was waiting for you to ask…
We use white pine for the bottom and
for planking and oak
for stem and timbers. We have access to both materials so we use those.
However, you can substitute other building materials that you have
access
too. Let me explain…
Our rule of thumb is that you use a
hardwood for timbers
and for the stem; Some good ones are oak, birch, maple and Juniper.
You
can use a softer wood for planking
and the bottom. Such
as pine, cedar, spruce, fir (with the
exception of Douglas fir). You can even use marine plywood if you
prefer it. We
much prefer planking with pine, so that is what we use.
Your
Dory, If Cared For Properly, Can Last You
30+Years.... An
Amazing Investment.
Please
make sure you paint your
dory every year before you enjoy her. That
is about all the regular maintenance you will
need with your
boat. I have had my
16 footer now for 8
years and the only maintenance has been a spring painting each year.
Make
This a Family Project
The
world we live
in today can be a tough one right?
Especially
for our kids. They have a lot of choices of how to spend their
time, and not all of them are good choices. There can be a ton of
negative distractions out there for our kids.
Why
not present them with the challenge of building a dory with you?
Nothing brings folks together like the teamwork required in
using
your own bare hands to craft something. And nothing will
give
them a sense of pride and accomplishment like building this wooden dory.
This project will have such a
positive impact on everyone involved, it can literally change your
entire outlook.

As
my love of all things marine grew, my father started to take notice. On
my 12th birthday, my father took me to the tiny woodshop behind our
house. On the table was laying some type of a blueprint or plans for a project. My father was quite the handyman and was always working on something around the house, but these wooden boat plans looked much different than any I had seen in the past.
