Nice job. Looks great! Bob

Nice trip. That’s my favorite campsite on that lake. Great spot. Bob

Sometimes I like to fish and just as often I like to focus on paddling. Depends on the day. Bob

I have a paint cup and absorbent towel on a carabiner/paracord connection hanging on my seat. I don’t paddle any serious white water. Bob

Beautiful job. It came out great! Have a good trip. Bob

I made this a few years ago. The blade folds into the handles. Silky saws work well and the blades are replaceable after years of service. I have heard good things about the folding Sven and Agawa saws as well. Bob

Fine work as usual. Any thoughts on a color for this one? Bob

Really impressive Jim. Thanks for sharing your method. Bob

I’ve had good luck weighing multipart resins and paints with a postage scale when mixing large quantities for what it’s worth. I agree with the varnish vs poly as well. You’re making great progress! Looking good. Bob

It was good to meet and chat with Jim (Boatman53), Pat Corry, and Tsuga8. I really enjoyed the symposium and was lucky enough to win an auction for another project. Thank you to Pat and Tsuga8 for helping me cobble some crossbar extensions together. I had my doubts and took the back roads, but...

I may be interested in that Old Town. I will message you my cell if we don’t bump into each other. Bob

Welcome! I enjoyed living in Chicago in my early 20’s. I’m looking forward to your build. I have something similar cooking in my noodle as well. Bob
