Next up after some paddles are (in no particular order):
- sof kids kayak
- 18.5' White Guide

I got a late start , so I only have one complete. A One Ocean [Cape Anne Storm] kayak.
Plans have been ordered, and hopefully enroute, for a Bear Mountain 16' Champlain canoe.

I already have the wood and will start making sawdust as soon as I buy a roll of film to document the many mistakes that are sure to occur.

[R Maxwell]

As you can tell from the time line, almost as I was typing, the big brown truck pulled up.

For those interested, in addition to the plans, when you order you will also get;

1.West Sys user manual
2. Epoxy works Special addition
3. Step by step guide TO fine woodstrip canoe building
4. Bear Mountain Boat Shop Study Plans Catalogue
+ a couple of late flyers, workshops2006,apron,and an invite to Small craft Builders Rendezvous[Aug 19/20, 2006

The point being, THE PLANS ARE HERE
