Welcome

CWB

Scientists tell us there is little genetic difference between a human and a mouse. That sounds somewhat deflating for a culture that nurtured Aristotle, Plato, Da Vinci. However, while a mouse can only dream about it, a human can have abstract philosophical thoughts, scientific theories, create art, tie knots, build boats. The creative genius comes from our more complex brain than the mouse. The craft genius comes from our brain in partnership with our opposable thumbs. Long before our ancestors had written language, because of their opposable thumbs they were tying knots, making tools, building wooden boats. They first built hunting and agricultural equipment. As their communities thrived, boats were built to explore beyond their shorelands. Our maritime skills began before history. Participating in CWB’s workshops is a step back in time, learning the skills and crafting the products that have been part of cultural history practically forever. Please sign up for our workshops to gain a share of your maritime inheritance.

Haida Canoe Carving By Arrangement

Clean slate Everyday use: Fresh start Nautical origin: Wiping off the slate on which courses and distances are kept during each of a ship’s four-hour watch.

Dugout canoes of the Northwest native peoples are considered the flowers of the sea. The canoe had an importance far beyond mere utilitarian use and was a connecting link between all social and economic levels. Carving a canoe was considered the highest achievement of a carver. The canoe is a metaphor for community, where everyone works together. Work alongside Haida carver Sāādūūts, who is Artist in Residence at The Center for Wooden Boats and learn about traditional Haida canoe making and canoe culture. Sessions are open to youth or adults but are individually arranged and depend on availability. One day ($100), Five days ($250) or One month ($1000). Groups also welcome. Call for arrangements.

Pond Yacht Program For Adults

Session 1: February 12 & 13 Session 3: August 13 & 14

Pirate R-11:

The old way of designing a boat or ship was to shape a half model of a hull and, from those lines, scale up and build a boat. Countless schooners, skiffs, smacks and others were thus crafted. For this class the students will take the lines off of a plan and carve a half model which will be mounted on a board ready to hang on your wall. This class is important to new boat builders as it teaches how a two dimensional plan can be converted into a three dimensional boat. Students will learn how to read a boat plan. In addition the students will learn to sharpen and use chisels, knives, spokeshaves and small planes. Limit: 6 students.

Time: 6 PM to 10 PM first Friday of workshop; 9 AM to 6 PM all other days (Saturdays & Sundays) Cost: $600 members / $720 non members Within five or six workshop sessions with Paul Marlow you will construct and take home a beautiful replica of a 39” model yacht based on the lines of Ted Geary’s very successful R-class sloop Pirate. Ted Geary originally began a model yacht program with the goal of getting schoolboys interested in woodworking and sailing. Now that Pirate and the original plans for the model racer belong to the Center for Wooden Boats (CWB), the model boat program has been revived in Seattle as a joint venture between CWB and Alternative School No. 1 (AS1). We are excited to offer this program to adults in 2005. You will experience all aspects of constructing pond boats, including layout, cutout, hull, exterior and interior, keel, sheer, deck, mast, rigging, painting and finish work. Basic knowledge of using a bandsaw, chisel, rasp and hand plane required. Some ‘homework’ will be assigned. Limit: 6 students.

Boatbuilding & Woodworking Tool Making Workshop Instructor: Rich Kolin Session 1: February 5 & 6 Session 2: April 9 & 10 Session 3: October 8 & 9 Time: All sessions meet 9 AM to 5 PM, Saturday & Sunday Cost: $175 members / $210 nonmembers Under the guidance of a master boatwright, students will build their own smoothing plane and carving knife that will provide a lifetime of use. Students will shape and heat-treat a piece of tool steel into a blade that will hold a razor edge. They also will learn to sharpen, use and maintain their masterpieces. Limit: 6 students.

Turning Bowls And Lidded Vessels Instructor: Roger Goad Session 1: March 4 – 6 Session 2: September 9 – 11 Time: All sessions meet 10 AM to 6 PM, Friday thru Sunday Cost: $310 members, $370 nonmembers Bowl turning need not be the province of the woodturning gurus. During this class you will learn some very successful techniques for making truly beautiful bowls, including the reverse jamming method; it’s not a wrestling move. It is an inexpensive method of turning the inside and outside of a bowl without those expensive chucks. Limit: 6 students.

Lofting is the process of drawing the boat full size in order to determine the shape of key parts and to plan the set up of these parts, the molds, and the jig that the boat will be built on. This is the ﬁrst step in any boat building project. This workshop will loft and set up the 13 foot carvel planked Swift class sail boat. The students will loft the boat and make patterns of all backbone parts. On the third day they will build molds, stem and transom, and set up the boat as much as time allows. This boat will be built in the Carvel Plank boat building class. For out of towners there are reasonably priced accommodations nearby. Contact the Rich Kolin for further details at kolin1@gte.net or 360.659.5591. Limit: 6 students.

In this workshop, students will learn the mysteries of carvel planking by building the second boat of a new class developed for the CWB by Rich Kolin based on Captain Nate Herreshoff’s Columbia Lifeboat model of 1910. The boat will be the part of a fleet which will be used to teach sailing at the CWB. The students will steam bend oak frames and carefully carve cedar planks to fit the curved surfaces. Then they will bevel the edges of the planks to fit tightly. The seams will be caulked with cotton and seam compound. They will learn tool sharpening and the care and use of hand and power tools. No experience is necessary although this is a challenging boat building class. It is recommended that students take an introductory workshop in order to gain experience with sharpening and using hand tools. The Center will supply all necessary tools, but feel free to bring any hand tools you might like to use. A block plane, a spokeshave, a Japanese handsaw, a 600 grit sharpening stone, a two inch Chinese bristle paint brush, and a rechargeable drill motor, drills, and counter sinks are recommended.

Boatbuilding & Woodworking “

I think we learned a number of things we could never get from a book, such as fairing the rabbets and planning gains, etc. I got a lot out of Eric’s (Hvalsoe) level 12 of craftsmanship and the level of quality that is acceptable in each stage of the boatbuilding process.

Bronze Casting Workshop

I can’t say enough good about this whole experience. All the people we had contact with were superb. Sam was absolutely great in his teaching abilities, and made us feel completely at ease with the 17 learning process.

Cost: $175 members / $210 nonmembers Sam Johnson will introduce the basics of sand molding and bronze casting during this handson, engaging course. Even if you don’t want to do your own casting, there will be enough discussion of casting design and pattern making to minimize the cost of having a commercial foundry make your castings. Boat builders in particular often need special bronze ﬁttings which are not available but can be cast without great expense. Anyone who has ever lost an oarlock will appreciate learning how to make copies of original hardware. For safety, students should wear all natural ﬁber or cotton clothing, leather shoes and bring safety glasses if you have them (or CWB will supply). Limit: 10 students. Note: Students will learn how to make their own furnaces and can buy all of the necessary parts at cost during the course.

See the cover of this catalogue for examples of items made in previous Bronze Casting Workshops.

Instructor: CWB Staff

For 15 years SailNOW has been our signature learn to sail program. SailNOW! offers adults a six-week (eight lesson) basic sailing course covering how to sail in a variety of classic boats. Each course starts with a Saturday classroom session where we de-mystify the theory and terminology of sailing. After the morning classroom session, we offer an afternoon group sail in one of our larger keelboats.

Session 1: April 10

The rest of the lessons are hands on and completely on the water. On the water lessons are available Saturday and Sunday at both 11 a.m. and 1:30 PM Weekday lessons are available at 6 PM May-August. Upon registration students choose the available dates and times that work with their personal schedule. Each lesson is two hours on the water, with an instructor for every two to three students. These lessons are reserved at the time of registration. Missed lessons may only be made up by sailing stand-by during the course for which you are registered. All of our instructors are volunteers, committed to teaching the art of sailing and instilling confidence in a positive environment. Their experiences range from ocean cruising and racing to lake sailing and many are graduates of SailNOW! The program, which includes a one-year CWB membership, Student Log Book, supplemental textbook (The Complete Sailor, by David Seidman), and practice line for knot tying, is $300. After successful completion of the course, you are welcome to sail and rent boats year round in the CWB Livery. SailNOW! is offered year-round; call us at 206.382.2628 or check our website at www.cwb.org for the next available SailNOW! session.

Graduates Are you’re a recent graduate of our SailNOW! Program whose never been back to sail because docking is still unnerving? Are you a competent sailor with plenty of experience but a little nervous about sailing an 80 year old museum piece into the dock instead of onto the dock? This afternoon class is designed for you. The entire class will be spent learning about and practicing docking. Upwind landings, downwind landings, cross wind landings—we’ll do everything we can in the conditions that present themselves. After a brief classroom session we’ll head out on the water and start by landing on forgiving foam rubber, then move on to practicing on a dock. After this class you’ll be fearless as you dock under sail!

What is Beach cruising? Think of Kayaking with your family, then change the boats to traditional small craft! Beach cruising is using open boats to experience the nooks and crannies of the waters around us. The Beach Cruising course is designed to teach you and your family or group of friends engineless cruising in small craft powered by oar and sail. The ﬁrst four days of the class we will be on site at the CWB, learning the basics of the boats, sailing, safety, and navigation. This will be a combination of in-class theory and on the water practice. If your crew includes children, part of their days will be spent in our Youth Beginner’s Sailing program. The ﬁnal two days of the class will be spent on the open waters of Puget Sound! Western Washington and British Columbia have some of the most beautiful small boat cruising available, and you don’t need a big boat (or a big budget) to experience it. Prerequisites: It is strongly recommended that at least one of the adult members of the family have previous sailing knowledge. Course not recommended for children under 8. Limit: 3 groups.

ACTION FISH KAYAKS recruits instructors directly from traditional wooden boat building schools. Their typical wooden boat builder has gone through extensive training in ﬁne wood working, wood working safety, wooden boat design and wooden boat construction. Action Fish uses traditional wood working techniques and tools, and focuses on the custom craftsmanship that goes into creating wood kayaks. This process takes longer, but is the way Action Fish builds every hand crafted wooden kayak. To learn more about Action Fish Kayaks visit www.actionﬁsh.com.

Ray is now retired and has built and restored over twenty heritage canoes. He continues to research and make custom Native Style paddles and knives and presents his skills at workshops throughout the USA and Canada. DENNIS ARMSTRONG, Marlinspike Artist. It all started with a kid who didn’t know how to tie his shoes until age five. He joined boy scouts where they attempted to teach him knots to be used around camp. Even a stint in the Navy didn’t help his inability with knots. When he graduated from college he didn’t have a job. On the East Coast he met a Coast Guard Quartermaster who showed him how to make a Turks head.
