lol photobucket strikes again, Jim. (pic isn't visible) I'm not sure how I'll set it up... to do the next one the way I want to, I'll need to be able to tilt the hull 90 degrees to each side before glassing.

I thought about piecing it & might have done that if I had some scrap around. As it is, RAKA was open & Mike is sending 20 yards of 6 oz, 60" wide e-glass. Unfortunately, neither RAKA nor US Composites carries 4 oz in 60" or any 60" wide s-glass. (when I was forced to reorder, I was planning...

Well, I gave it a run but it won't be glassed by Christmas. I got it all sanded to my satisfaction, wiped it down with tack cloth & rolled some 4 oz glass out so it could relax overnight. As I was smoothing it with a paintbrush, I realized that the glass I had in the shop was 50 inches & was...

As a lifelong tightwad, $3 a year for pants has a lot of appeal (wonder if I can find a pair or two in a thrift store 😁)

I'm aware. I'm actually ok w/ the minimum sanding that I did last time on the inside, I just wanted the outside to be a little more even. I'm about done. I won't go past 120 grit (I want some tooth for the epoxy any way) but made the mistake of looking up from the floor this evening (the view...

In case anyone is wondering: I'm still sanding. And really re-thinking the decision to do this one right... Anyone thinking of trying this at home... building your own canoe is very rewarding but there are times that make you question every decision you've ever made in your life. :rolleyes:

Yes but they're all wearing pfds & helmets now which we never did in our bulletproof years... (buncha sissies :ROFLMAO:) OK, in all honesty, I'm pretty sure we wore the pfds if we were on the clock guiding or working in rescue boats... I don't recall ever wearing helmets though which...

12 pack?! Better be a day trip. :LOL:

Potheads would be in floaties (paddle optional)

I'm impressed with how quickly you found that (or maybe by how long you've been sitting on it?) Some pretty serious whitewater but I have to wonder where their tents & food barrels are. (BTW: I'm portaging ALL of that. My bulletproof days are well behind me)

Not that I'm (in any way) a music critic and, meaning no disrespect to Simon et al but my favorite is still David Draiman. Not at all what I expected from Disturbed but, if you've never heard it, give it a listen...

As Pseudonym suggests above, I'd think the most likely market for this would be a young family. Throw the kids in the middle side by side & let 'em paddle as they can. Awesome idea and gets kids on the water instead of online.

Beavertail (you heathen).

Yep, I can see them now. It seems that photobucket has that issue frequently... If you upload directly to this site, they'd remain visible until the site ceases to exist. (There, I said it before Glenn did. :LOL: )

Jim: For whatever reason, your pictures are not coming through (the links work fine) As for the carbon copies... maybe someday. For now, I really like the look of wood. I enjoy seeing what the different combinations of wood species look like and am physically able to carry a few extra...

Old ways are the best ways

Sorry if I deepen that rabbit hole but... (and, yes, anything that precedes the word "but" is just to be nice) I think that all the time. Around here, they're turning farm land into condo communities at an alarming rate with signs at the entrance advertising "starting in the mid-400s" (like...

I'll glass them but it's not going to be pretty in there --------------------------------------------------- Well, hull is closed, staples are out. I've started sanding and found more issues... In my quest to keep glue squeeze-out to a minimum, I believe that I was over-zealous. When...

I was wondering how they miss the surfboarders but I'm not sure they do... certainly looks like they ran over one at 52 seconds and must have missed the guy at 3:10 by inches.

Hey, when in Rome... Have fun & paddle on.
