The Set-up 1176 viewsI chose Iain Oughtred's Mouse Pram because of it's size and simplicity, as well as it's sweet lines. For a pram, this little boat really looks great. It is quite similar to Joel White's Nutshell Pram design, but the construction is better planned out.

Making the strips121 viewsI estimate that it takes about 4 minutes per strip. First, the 1X10 is planed down to an even thickness, then ripped into about 25 strips that are 1/16" too big (on purpose). Then I plane those down to exactly 1/4". After that, each 12' strip gets a bead on one edge and a cove on the other. Labor!
