Experience with Autobody Clearcoat
Hopefully we will be ready for varnish in about a month. I've read a couple instances where people have had their canoes' clearcoated at a local body shop. We were thinking that with the investment of time we have put into our canoe so far, a really nice finish would be appropriate. A really nice fi...

We used a photocopy shop (kinko's) to make a copy of the original form layouts. There was no perceptible difference between the copy and the original that I could see (and all the forms were distorted by the same % if there was any distortion) given they were all copied at once. All the forms are dr...

Has anyone tried simply using dowels and epoxy to hang their seats (in place of bolts)? I understand that removal of the seats would require some drilling or cutting to get them out. I was thinking of drilling holes in the gunwales, making the top portion of the hole a bit wider and putting a small ...

We're still sneaking up on our Redbird. Inwales are installed. Outwales bent and waiting. Put the finishing touches on our decks tonight (they've taken a month to build - 9 pieces each). Should have them installed later this week. Still haven't sanded the inside or outside of the hull. Seat frames a...

I'm less worried about keeping clamps in place (plan to use draggon's teeth) but was pondering keeping the deck itself in place. It appears that it will have a tendency to slide out as the hull is squeezed in from the sides. I guess a block of wood clamped to the hull just behind the deck (on each s...
