Thanks, everyone, for coming out to our talk on Sunday at Conflux in New York City.  Had a great time sharing our project and really appreciated your questions, comments and support.  We’ll be releasing a new insert with even simpler plans for finishing the paper boat without ribs later this month.  Stay tuned and let us know what you build!

(Broadsheet 7: On Paper Boat Construction, pdf, 3.9mb)

At long last we have completed work on our three year long investigation into the histories and techniques of paper boat building, originating with the Waters & Co. paper boat and dome factory in Troy New York (mid to late 19th century) to the more recent artistic excursions on the water in… things made of paper.  The attached broadsheet details the first phase of our research.  Click the image above to download the 3.9mb pdf and happy boating!
