Yes, I would love to try the M&T joint. I think given the cost of hardwood and my free time that perhaps the lap joint will bring me the highest chance of success.
I'll have updates on my blog and in the Freedom 15' project thread. I just bought some cherry today for the seats and the inwales!

how did you build your seat frames?
How did you build your seat frames? I'm leaning towards butting the frame pieces and joining them with dowels and epoxy. My concern is that all the dowel holes will have to be drilled very carefully, I bet it doesn't take much error to twist the frame. I'd like to hear how you did yours, and if you ...

Bottom of hull didn't hold its shape
While I was scraping the inside of the hull I was running my hands along the outside and noticed that the bottom football portion didn't really hold its shape once removed from the moulds. It's sort dipping in. Granted, a bit of this is probably from my workmanship on the strips when sanding/fairing...

Buying plastic cane
Hi, Any suggestions on where to buy plastic cane in Canada? Canoecraft mentions WH Kilby but their website doesn't say anything about plastic cane (I guess I could phone to confirm). I've also checked out HH Perkins. Is there a preferred width for cane, maybe 3.0mm? I would assume that one of the ha...

Boating Building Blog
Hi everyone, I changed a few things around on my blog and started a new blog for boat building. I'm planning on posting occasional tips, photos, and links that I find on the web. As well, I will be continuing to log the slow process of my own building endeavours (not to be confused with the Bearmoun...

another scraping question
Hi, I did my first bit of scraping on the inside of the hull today. I understand that it is usually preferred to scrape all of the glue off before using the ROS? I'm finding this a bit difficult. I tried to grind a curved edge onto a paint scraper but it's not the easiest thing to do imo. Getting th...
