BTW, is it gonna fit through the door?:D
Got an idea re weight?:rolleyes:
P.S. I assume after the staples are removed, water applied will swell the staple holes closed?

About the door, shouldn't you have asked earlier?? The canoe is 16 feet long by 36 inches wide but only 13 inches deep. So It should fit through the door...on its side.
Weight is yet to be determined. The book that the plans came out of (Building A Strip Canoe by Gil Gilpatrick) say that the finished weight of the canoe, i.e. after epoxy, fiberglass, gunwales, seats and thwart, should be around 65 pounds.
Epoxy seals the staple holes. But some builders have tried to use water/steam to seal them first.

I was thinking they might be visible if not closed b4 epoxy.algale wrote:About the door, shouldn't you have asked earlier?? The canoe is 16 feet long by 36 inches wide but only 13 inches deep. So It should fit through the door...on its side.

'Looks' deeper and heavier!.
Portaging in its future(other than exiting the building)?

The staple holes will be visible. There are some staple-less methods, but they take longer and reportedly aren't for beginners.
As to portaging, I don't live on the water (yet:)) so at a minimum there will be some portaging from parking lots to the launch and such. But I'm not planning on canoe trips where I have to portage the Slow Boat over long distances. Why do you ask?
Congratulations!
Super - algale!
Because I have absolutely no knowledge about your canoe project I could not comment before this.
However, I feel that it is appropriate at this time to say - -
ATTA BOY ALGALE!!!:D

From what I can see from the pictures, you do absolutely beautiful work, and you have created a beautiful object of function. Like I have said earlier in this thread, I am envious of your project. It is something I have always wanted to do. I have, most of my life, lived near a lake. I would love to paddle around our local lake in that beautiful piece of work.
well done!
well done!

It just seems heavy to me. I am surprised it is only 65#. Due to size it is likely a two person task. I was just thinking how difficult carrying it on one's shoulders over rough terrain would be. Probably totally irrelevant to your intended use.algale wrote:The staple holes will be visible. There are some staple-less methods, but they take longer and reportedly aren't for beginners.
