Free Molds and Strongback for Nomad
I am downsizing and would like to find a good home for the molds and strongback for a Nomad. They are true and built one canoe. Plans are available for purchase through Bear Mountain. The only stipulation is that you have to take the molds and the strongback both. Bring a trailer or suitable vehicle...

Dynel Tip
I have read that dynel makes a good material for abrasion-resistant tips. So, I bought some 3/8" dynel cord and tried it on a practice piece. I soaked the dynel in epoxy and applied it to the practice tip, flattening the cord it as best I could. When it was tackfree I filed and sanded it flush ...

Many thanks Guys. I will recoat. Mine is a cautionary tale about the wisdom of overbuilding. I put double layers of fiberglass (on the football) to strengthen the bottom and avoid potential oilcanning - which I read on this forum could be a problem with this canoe. But the cloth floated a bit on the...

Sanded to the Weave
To make a long story short - in prep for varnising I have sanded down to (not though) the fiberglass weave in some areas on the interior of my Nomad. I have built this boat bombproof and have two layers of fiberglass on the football areas - both inside and out. I had intended on applying another coa...

Ash Seats - How Strong?
I have built the trapezoidal seats in Gil Gilpatricks book using 3/4" X 1-1/2" ash. The joints are triple doweled and they are strung with plastic cane. I am quite pleased with how they turned out. Here's my problem - I have a close friend and sometimes canoing partner who is a little &quo...
