Just beautiful, nice save and getting it back on the water. Jim

So here is my old no longer waterproof cagoule. The sleeves are one piece across the shoulder. Drawstring at the hem, front pocket, Velcro cuff adjustment, gusset at the neck. The sleeve and hood area are lined with light breathable fabric, not that it would make that much difference being...

Where did you find that 6 1/2 oz cloth? I dug out my old cagoule a few minutes ago and will get pics tomorrow. It was sold by EMS and comes about mid calf. Jim

Welcome to the campfire Panhandle. I used to live in the panhandle of Idaho but now reside in Maine. Glad to have another sewer on board. I’ve been looking for a good anorak pattern for winter, not that I need three anoraks but I might make one just like I like. I have an old cagoule that is no...

Welcome to the campfire DBix. There are a few members here in Maine, if you head to Maine let us know. Jim

Thanks for the pics. Jim

Should not be a problem at all with a well made scarf. Try not to have a joint where a hole for a seat or thwart would compromise it. Jim

Welcome to the campfire John, looking forward to another build. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Jim

His name is Quincy and he was seven when we got him, they said he is a Terrier/Pomeranian mix and we think it’s a Border terrier from his markings. He’s a good dog and was well trained when we got him. He’s is up for anything especially woods walks or canoeing but not much of a snow dog sadly...

Here is my “Where’s Waldo” pic after shoveling out. We had a lot of wind 18 mph with gusts to 26 mph. There was virtually no snow to shovel in the driveway but big drifts in the back yard. And we got another two inches today. Jim

We used AC exterior for plywood. It was not the treated wood because the kids were hands on as much as possible. Each boat chose their own paint, they were primed and some sprung for yacht paint and others porch and deck paint. It really didn’t matter in the end. I’m surprised that Wisconsin is...

As a professional boat builder for more than thirty years my advise is to not use fir plywood, exterior or otherwise. I’ve taught several classes with kids and parents to build the Six Hour Canoe and to keep costs down we used exterior grade plywood. Despite the best efforts of prep almost all...

Glenn that stuff all around the car is called snert. We only got about 5”, but enough the cover the snert. Jim

Don’t have a guess on the car, but it’s snowing again in Maine just about an inch/hour by the looks of it. Two inches down and 6 more inches expected. Jim

I’m not disagreeing with you yknpdlr but it’s a way to learn. Jim
