Re: A Slow Boat To Nowhere
You know you have one more job when the canoe is done. You have to make a hand made paddle (or maybe 2). That will be the ultimate finish.algale wrote:Me too!

It is on the "To Do" list but a generous member of the Forum donated a couple of aluminum and plastic paddles that I will use for the time being in the interest of getting on the water with this canoe before the lakes, rivers, and H*ll itself freeze over.jsburger wrote:You know you have one more job when the canoe is done.

Re: A Slow Boat To Nowhere
I think a hand 'held' drill is more prone to breaking bits.
But then kinda difficult to get that canoe up on the drill press table.
Better tie her down, looks like she is trying to escape out the door!

Thwart is in! Of course it will come out when everything is getting varnished, but it is in and fits beautifully.

Thank's Paul. Just a little word art printed on ordinary paper on an ink jet printer and put in between the first and second epoxy coats. Equal parts vanity and theft deterrent.shipwright wrote:Nice Al.

I didn't even know what a thwart was 
Now that I seen yours, I'll probably be disappointed if I see another. Yours is just plain beautiful!!!
