Maybe we need to organize some past threads and do a cut and paste into a new, all encompassing thread, for the commonly asked questions.

Things like station 13, how to pick out good solid stock, why good plywood is a better choice, general building tips and tricks, solutions to common issues, etc.

If those that have had these questions and those that have answered some of them could post here, what they where. We can do a search and paste them into a dedicated thread about the subject. Possibly a few dedicated threads such as: plywood - cutting solid lumber - stock selection - home made sails - adhesive choices - techniques - tiller conversions - rudder box - outboard power - etc., etc., etc.

I guess what I'm looking for is input into this thread, as to what the "information" threads might include, maybe even a link to the old thread(s). As I look back at the years of information and volume here, there's lots of stuff buried under countless other threads. It seems the same dozen or so issues crop up enough to warrant a look at it.

Worth a discussion anyway . . .
I found this recent discussion of plywood most helpful:

http://www.byyb.org/forum/index.php?topic=3067.0

...or were you looking more for a list of topics and then find the best practices after?
Both Will, this was another thread I'd forgotten, with good information n it. We'll collect them up and see how it shakes out, in regard to placing them in a dedicated thread. I think plywood and solid wood suppliers would also be a good thing to offer up.
my biggest confusion / issue was about glues, epoxy etc that would be a good topic i think most builders will have questions around it.
This is a good 4 year old epoxy thread Bob: >  http://www.byyb.org/forum/index.php?topi...#msg11238  <
