Welcome to the campfire Bluetick. Jim

The canvas clamps I made myself from 2x4’s . The canvas is stretched drum tight the cable that stretched it is marked, the canoe in put in the canvas envelope and stretched to the same drum tight mark. Then a bunch of weight is put into the canoe (I guess before you crank it tight ) so it...

I think I would keep it level. If tipped back for more comfort paddling would be more awkward, at least for me. I’m intrigued by the seat back, can you share more pics? Jim

This is still for sale. I’ll be bringing it to the WCHA assembly and it might be donated to their auction if I can’t rehome it sooner. Jim

Should be an edit button on the lower right of the post, and yes there is a time window. Jim Just noticed the button is on the lower left.. I used it to edit this.

Yes it’s a simple blood test and here in Maine they test for many different tick diseases at the same time. I came down anaplasmosis three years ago. Same antibiotic treatment. Jim

Gamma, my in-laws have an Escort wagon a 1998 if I remember correctly with just over 51 k miles. Don’t think they want to sell it though. Jim

This doesn’t help you at all Stephanie but since this thread popped up again I’ll add to it. My daughter brought this on last years canoe trip and while not inexpensive it sure looked convenient and she said it was good. Jim

Welcome to the campfire Brews. Pull up a stump and share your thoughts as you learn and explore more. Jim

I used to participate in many woodworking and metalworking forums but find I only have time for two plus canoetripping. One of those I poke my nose in a couple times a week but rarely post as I don’t want to get into lengthy discussions. For me, canoetripping is the most friendly and courteous...

Yeah the ‘70’s that’s when I fell in love with canoe tripping in the BWCA. Jim

Thanks for starting a dedicated thread. This process has always intrigued me. Jim

Well done CasIironSkillet. Jim

Well after rebuilding my deck and working on the schooner, a couple of rainy days allowed me to get back to the sewing machine. The last picture in the last post I made had the raw pieces for these. They then got sewn along the bottom edge at 2’ intervals and intersections of the panels. The...

I am sorry I was unable to attend. I had planned to but a friend called on me to help caulk and hang the rudder on his 65’ schooner build. I came to his aid. Not quite on the scale of canoes. Back to the regularly scheduled program. Jim
