I'd be honoured to own it Stripperguy! Unfortunately I have no money. I have some beautifully figured solid lumber if you want to trade??? Building anything else that might need some material? How about a kid or two? I'll give you a special deal?

Alan, You are right about it costing more to run the air powered tools, but I'd say marginally. For the amount that you are actually going to use the sander, I for one, wouldn't worry about it, but I'm not paying your bills. Ultimately it's your choice, but do have a look at it. Mihun has some...

Alan, I figured I'd throw my hat in the pot too. I have used an Aro pneumatic ROS for probably close to 15 years now. It still works like a charm. It has a 6" PSA base, but as I have indicated in the past, if your considering a 6" sander with PSA, make sure you can get sanding discs locally...

Well said Charlie

You sir, are a mad man. Inside fiberglass already??? You are moving, aren't you? I was thinking about your 6" vs 5" sander question. I have a 6" ROS that has the pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) and have found that there is a limited selection of discs available for it at the local stores. If I...

Thanks so much Hanz. After this long though, my patience is just about gone. It's a good thing it's not that long of a winter for us here in Southern Ontario. So looking forward to getting out for a trip. Thanks again

Karin, I had sent you a response to your tool question on the 8th of Nov. You didn't get it? May long weekend is generally pretty good around here as you probably know. A little cool at night, but that's great for sleeping anyways. Sunny during the day. Can't beat having a birthday on that...

Ya, I was thinking the same thing. I really don't like the idea of having the point take the brunt of the force should it hit the ground. I'll craft a block that fits and epoxy it when the weather turns for the better again. Really itching to get it out on the water, and you can bet, that as...

Ha! 4 years is nothing. Try 20. Yep...go check out my Hiawatha thread. Priorities are very different for everyone, and no one should feel any sense of discouragement or down in the dumps feelings because they didn't finish their build in record time. There wouldn't be any fun in it if you always...

Welcome aboard Canoe3. Glad to have you along for the ride. Please, please, please, post pics of your fleet. We all love to see what others have. Hope you have fun Momentum

Very nice. I love the lines. They look very sleek. If the oak you installed as the gunwale is it as far as rigidity goes, how much will the completed boat flex under stress? Are there calculations that can be done for this? Maybe you have already done them. I'm assuming you'll have some sort of...

Despite the cooler weather creeping in, I found time last week to finish up installing the outwales. Each outwale took every single spring clamp in my arsenal. 30 to be exact. The biggest problem I had was right at the bow and stern where the point of the canoe gives no flat surface to hold the...

Well done Karl. You have some skills my man. Excellent work. It should serve you well for many years. Think of the adventures you'll have. Glad to have you aboard.

Welcome to the clan Mike. Glad to hear you get out to enjoy the natural beauty of your area. It seems to me you'll fit in just fine. Welcome again!

Robin, Could you make any further comments on this? Ultimately, you are the one that make the final decision on matters like this. I hate to see people leave this site for whatever reason. Maybe further clarification is needed from you about what is appropriate for the benefit of all of us. We...

Nice work Alan! Very sexy lines indeed. (the boat I mean) I still can't fathom how or where you get all the time to do what you do, but we all appreciate you documenting your builds. I too, like to use the belt sander for sanding items like this. I actually did the exterior of my entire hull...

That's just in my back yard! Thanks for posting this Brad. I have been to some of those areas shown in the videos. Always peaceful, and yet quite a history.

I'm not new to camping or canoeing, but I haven't a clue what that is...Can you enlighten those of us who don't know? Thanks

Welcome CanoePam. I hope you find a lot of joy, and maybe a little knowledge here. It's a great place to hang out. Have fun Momentum

I'm thinking you should just simply call this build the AGX. I can just see it now hanging in all the canoe outfitter locations around the world. Great to hear your progress so far, and to be honest with you, I half expected that we would have seen a post in the middle of the night stating that...
