Very nice job so far! Making that old turd look respectable again! dougd

That's one heck of a dust collector behind the planner! ;-) I mill out my own as well so know the feeling when it all goes right! dougd

I usually try to read/watch a section of the post day by day in your case. Heck with that, went for the whole sit read/watch session. Thanks for posting! What a bear to have have the seat bust! Been there done it. dougd

Bob, Here's a picture from when Matt (Hal) and I had just bought the boat, we went in halves on it! It was a fun fast boat but solo it sucked! ;-) Click on the image to enlarge it. BTW, it was in pretty tough shape back then! dougd

From the Ranger Canoe I rebuilt as Mr. McCrea mentioned. I talked to the owners and they said it was probably a Friday canoe and someone was "hammered"! dougd

Considering how tough a shape it was in you have brought back to life and have done an excellent job of it! I am happy to see it go to someone with skills to do that and also take it out and use it! The patch job on the float tank turned out nicely! A job well done!

I have scars from tick bites that got infected and have been treated 3 times for 21 days a shot. I take it pretty serious as they are all over the place at my abode and have had two friends who got a bit messed up from the infection that comes along with it. I've gotten pretty good at pulling...

I have scars from infected tick bites as well as several treatments, 21 days of pills, for ticks. I've been using Permethrin spray for a while now with success but anytime I'm out in the field/rivers I do a head to toe tick check. I've had two friends get really messed up from ticks and just...

If you want to try using some Kydex for a sheath I can send you some, just let me know the size of the knife and what you think you'd need if want to go that route. I still have quite a bit left and don't have an immediate use for it. dougd

Traveler, Thanks for the link, that seems to what I'm looking for!

I'm guessing due to the supply and demand issues as of late I am having trouble finding a bucket seat I want to put in my Rob Roy. The butt pad that is currently in it is a hair to low and I'd like to upgrade. If any of you out there that have a spare laying around I'd be willing to take it...

Traveler, I think it turned out a lot better than I imagined it would. I look forward to the coats of epoxy and cloth coming during warmer weather. Please keep us posted. Years ago I built the 6 hour canoe, a shorter version of what you did, and it was the first build I ever did. It was...

I've read this write up before Chip and am glad you posted it again! Really brought a grin on!

I have regularly used dollar store hobby paint tubes, 1$ a piece, to mix in with epoxy for coloring. At that cost if I need to add more to darken it more it's worth it. Just my .02.

This from 2015 so not too long ago but the meeting made a difference: Now here began an interesting twist to this tale. A gentleman showed up, Ed Webster. I never saw him walk up the porch but all of a sudden he was there. Apparently we had passed him on the portage while he was mowing his...

What a beauty! What a beauty!

I'll throw my 02 in. Here's my experiment at working with Kydex. I still have half a sheet left to play with. http://scooter-bangortoportland.blogspot.com/2021/03/working-with-kydex.html

Ran across this movie today while waiting for resin to dry. It's on Tubi which is free online streaming movies: https://tubitv.com/home. Lots of hardships and upstream which I've done in the past but never at this level. Link to the movie...

I have 3 that I keep on a window sill 24/7. We get power outages here and they come in handy. I also use them in camp and in the tent when I'm out. I do pack a headlamp but rarely use with 3 of the Luci's going.

Rick, I bought it from Uline: https://www.uline.com/Grp_43/Poly-Tubing?keywords=poly+tubing&SearchKeyword=Poly Tubing Here's a link of steaming the gunwales I finally put on the Rob Roy the first time: I bought the 4 mm. The only caveat is they only sell it in 1500' rolls! If you want...
