Lost the picture somehow.

Had a good weekend I the shop. Started a paddle, definitely don't know what I'm doing but it looks like it should move water. 8.25x20 with hollow shaft.

Made some progress on the forms. One left plus the bow and stern forms. The good news is that I didn't buy any plywood just used my old forms from the Freedom 17.

Jim I thought about something like that but then I looke my pile of 250 disks and decided I wouldn't have the patience to put them all on the dowels. I know how lazy I am!!

Oops not that great at adding pictures with my iPad. Basically the top isjust set on the box, lift up the front to pull out the tray. The glass gets glued to the underside when I want to use it I take it off flip it over and put it on the bench the lip in the back acts as a hook to keep it from...

I'm pretty much finished with my sanding station. I still need to mount the glass, and hang it on the wall.

I just got started on a sand paper storage box. It will have a pull out tray that will hold various 5" hook and loop grits, slots to hold full sheets and a side compartment to hold sharpening stones and jigs. The top will be removable with a glass inset so I have a nice setup for sharpening...

All right two positive opinions from guys that know better than me. Looks like I'll go for it. I would start the forms this weekend but when I printed the PDFs it came out 20% bigger than expected. I guess I'll rake leaves this weekend and start the boat next week. As a side note, I think I...

Has anyone built or paddled this canoe? Thinking I need a solo and this seems like a decent candidate.

Looking good, did you loft your own forms or use the file I sent you?

Yeah, I just finished remaking the chair a little taller. I'm thinking they aren't that great (at least the one I made). the joints are pretty stressed and the wood is really creaking. I think it will break before long. I'm guessing that the dimensions are critical to keeping everything...

Thanks for the idea Murat. I'll make a couple changes of the next one, I think it's a little wide and maybe a little to reclined. My daughter thinks the back could be longer tosupport your head.

Alan, I thought of a couple of improvements for your fabric storage setup. Measurement marks on the table to make it easy to pull the correct amount off the role . And an outfeed reel, that way the fabric can be brought over and rolled onto the boat while crease free and without dragging on the...

Wow Alan, I think you're ready to go into business with that setup. Looks sweet!,

No Title I just made a bucksaw chair, came out OK. My sewing isn't all that great but is was just a proof of concept. Pretty comfortable except it sags a little and my butt hits the cross piece a little. I finally had a reason to use my lathe!!

Are you done yet? Where are the pictures?

Good luck Harold...I can't wait to see the build! Any questions, feel free to ask.

No Title

I put the seats about as low as I could I have about an 8" gap below the frame.

my wife and I took another short trip today and although the bow is riding a little high we both agree that it felt much more comfortable. I think it might have been my daughter that caused the twitches. I think the boat paddles really well. I have very good control from the back. Easy to keep...
