Great work FCPO. What a beautiful canoe. Be careful when you're trolling yourself as bait amongst the gators.

Here are some pictures of my double herringbone again: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l103/ME-262/CopyofIMG_2502.jpg I cut the strips in two in the middle to make things go together easier. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l103/ME-262/CopyofIMG_2500.jpg This photo shows the transition from match...

The Sonex sounds like a great plane. I don't think they had a lowered seat option when I first looked at getting plans. If you can build an airplane, a wooden canoe should be easier, cheaper, and more forgiving of variations in technique. And once you're done with the canoe, you'll have the skills a...

In this photo the six slightly thinner red strips with the really wide grain are the redwood strips. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l103/ME-262/CopyofIMG_2596.jpg At the very top of the photo, after you click to enlarge it, you will notice two redwood strips glued together and see the dark line w...

Elmer's ProBond Interior/Exterior wood glue. often hard to find, and not to be confused with ordinary Elmer's ProBond wood glue which is a different glue entirely. The Interior/Exterior glue is ANSI Type II water resistant once cured. In spite of their claim about easy clean up with water, don't try...

Patrick's Dad is right. You have to shave the outer stem off until it is fair with the hull form. Mine was square at first too. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l103/ME-262/CopyofIMG_2775.jpg Then I planed it and block sanded it smooth with the rest of the surface, and then rounded the edge. http:/...

I figure that the amount I saved ripping and routing my own strips paid for my table saw and router table. Not to mention that the tools were a tax deductible business expense, so I bought a planer too. The tools are now mine to keep and have already paid for themselves on their first job. Plus I us...
