Patricks Dad, You are correct it would be much better to have a lighter canoe so the portage carry would be that much better. My statements regarding the barge are truthful, the other's were just out of my ignorance and remembering how hard it was to build the inwale in the first place. Good Luck wi...

Goodness, I am glad I finished my inwales and outwales before I read this blog. You gentleman have my head spinning. I was lucky I could hold my inwales still while I hand planed into shape. Who cares what the canoe weighs? Eat more steak and lift weights. One of my co-workers is dyslexic and his 16...

How to sand properly
Fellow Boat Buiilders, A very good friend of mine makes electric guitars for the band Aerosmith. He came over to give me some pointers on sanding my canoe. I asked him how good they sanded guitars, and the answer was until they had achieved perfection. He explained to me, that once you had the grain...

Jeff, I like the five gallon bucket idea. That sounds great. What I am really hoping is I come across about 140lbs of female who would like to ballast the front. But until that happens, I have a bucket or two. Glen, I hope you have a sense of humor. Thanks for the tip, Asa I believe I better adapt t...

This first photo shows a nice quarter angle view of the canoe and shows the relationship of the checkered stripe to the bow/stern check. http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x359/AsaBlanchard/100_0361.jpg Claiming to be the most honest guy on the planet, this is how I cut the inwales too short, and h...

Mike, Thank you for your comments. This is not even close to the prettiest canoes you will see on this site if you look around. I will be glad to contact you, but you will be missing out on all the smarter boat builders than me with their more knowledgeable advice. This is my first build and I didn'...

Glen, Thank you for your comments. Coming from an outstanding boat builder I appreciate that very much. Your knowledge on canoe craft has been very helpful to me. Many days I didn't go out into the garage, because I didn't think I could do what needed to be done. After reading the book, the blogs, a...

Bear Lee Alive, Thank you very much. I have more photos in different stages. My camera was in my canoe when I flipped a couple of days ago, so a lot of photos are lost. Did you have anything in particular you wanted to see? I will try to find it. I am not sure how many pictures I can post on Photosh...

New Prospector
Fellow Boat Builders, I have owned an aluminum canoe for 40 years. I was paddling down a creek one day comtemplating my desire to become a more serious carpenter . I decided I would go ahead and purchase some woodworking equipment I had been dreaming of owning. It dawned on me that a real carpenter ...
