Coot Plans
History:
When I purchased the plans in 1972 from Molt Taylor, I had to clip and rearrange his construction notes into an organized plan. When I told Molt about this, he encouraged me to retype them into a new Builder’s Manual. Since 1974 Molt has included them with his assembly drawings.
Transition:
After Molt died in 1995, Mrs. Taylor asked me to distribute the plans for her. Gradually, with significant help from other Coot-builders, including Kenny Danielson, Barry Ryan, Sam Carlin, Martin Koxxy, and Sean Wiens, I have up-dated and improved the plans and the Builders Manual. The former are now direct copies from Molt’s original vellums, except for some smudged ones now on AutoCAD, and the latter has been computer-scanned and laser-printed. They are much easier to read and understand than the ones I received in 1972.
Offer:
Builder support is very important to me. I make myself freely available to all plans-holders for consultation by phone (608/833-5586) or by e-mail coot42@charter.net.
