Temptress Kit
Hi Dan, you mentioned in your latest video that you are now in a position to sell a kit (I assume this is mainly the frames all cut by CNC). Could you tell us more here or even better do a very short video on it please? Cheers
Hi Pete
The kits will generally include everything that is CNC cut which is:
- Solid wood framing components
- Plywood bulkheads and gussets
- MFT table top
- MDF strong back and jigs
However we can tailor them for whatever you would like to have supplied. We would suggest that long timbers for stringers, battens, keel and planking etc are sourced and delivered direct from a local timber supplier so we don't include these within the kit. The logistics of us shipping these items isn't really feasible.
We are also able to bevel and notch completed frame sets and the stem if they can be returned to us post assembly. We can do this at any production partner outlet. We do not issue the 3D model files for doing this yourself so if you want to build with pre bevelled components then we would need to do that machining for you.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers
Dan
Thanks, Dan.
I'm a way off ordering a kit, it would be an early retirement project, and I would need to sort an appropriate workspace first of all, but it's good to know there is an option that would speed up some of the build.
I'm loving the build series on YouTube, the boat is looking so good, video by video. She's going to look incredible when finished and will make an owner very happy indeed.

Thanks Pete, retirement project is a common one it seems for this boat. I am currently bevelling a kit for a builder up in the Lake District here in the UK that is doing just the same thing. We should be able to sort you out with a kit when you are ready.
Glad you are enjoying the series, she sure is going to look nice when done. I've got some great ideas in the pipeline as well 🙂
