Glen-L 15 Bill of Materials
The following list of materials is intended to be a general guide only.
Before ordering any materials, the text and plans should be checked for
possible options. All lumber listed as 1" stock is to be standard
"lumberyard four-quarter" material which when finished may vary
to somewhat less or slightly more than 3/4" in thickness. All widths
are NET and all lengths allow for cutting to fit. Grouping lumber and
purchasing random-random material to resaw to the required size will
result in considerable savings. All lumber used should be first grade
free from shakes and knots. Although spruce (Sitka variety) and mahogany
(dark red Philippine type) are called out in the listing, lumber typical
to the locale and of similar types and weights may be substituted. Oak
refers to white oak. All plywood (PW) is to be marine (MAR) or exterior
(EXT) grade. The marine-type is preferable as the inner cores are solid
and thus the panel has more structural integrity. Douglas-fir (DF) is
satisfactory with the quality of the exposed faces of the veneer being
designated by the letters "A" or "B". The
"AA" grade panels are always preferable, however,
"AB" grade is acceptable. All plywood should be a minimum of
three plies. All fastenings should be bronze or hot dipped galvanized
ferrous metal. Brass fastenings are not advised nor are the electroplated
screws commonly sold in hardware stores. All screws are to be of the flat
head type intended for wood. All nails are of the ring-type nail common
to boat construction. Unless otherwise specified, all wood-to-wood joints
are to be glued with a waterproof or highly water resistant glue such as
plastic resin, resorcinol, epoxy, or other equivalent type used per the
manufacturer's instructions regarding temperature, clamping
requirements, curing time, and mixing method.
