We want to get our 30 pound Brittany, Libby, a PFD before the start of this season. She loves the water and swims well, but is prone to overconfidence and poor judgement. Last Spring when we stopped to pick fiddleheads on an island in the Winooski River she decided to go for a swim and jumped...

We're really enjoying these videos. Thank you!

I had an inguinal hernia mesh repaired 25 years ago. I got it installing a commercial oven/range (wicked heavy) in a fancy kitchen. I think it's common though to not know what caused a hernia. My surgeon said if you have a weak spot it will surface eventually. I was very happy to get mine fixed.

Thanks for posting your progress, and all the great photos which I'm happily able to enlarge now! Your scabbed, glue on solution to the low, misaligned strip solved that problem nicely.

If I may ask, how did you cut the scarf joints on all those rib ends? That looks like quite the project to me. Nicely done!

You're coming along great and thinking about the outer stem correctly. "Cruiser" described and photographed outer stem fitting, installation and shaping really well in his most recent build thread. Well worth a look! It really helped me.

Thank you Jim and Dave. We are used to smallish, level, cane seats. Karen primarily sits and I mostly kneel. Hopefully these seats will be a bit more comfortable while accommodating both styles. Thanks Al. The double entendre was news to me as I'm not nearly that clever! I too will be...

Work on the hull is on hold until spring, and warmer temperatures. Winter is a good time to build seats. I'm really fond of cherry, and had a piece thick enough for front rails with a 7/8 inch swoop. I also had some leftover stair balusters that could be re-milled and repurposed. Plan A was to...

I'm enjoying following this thread. Thanks for posting your progress. Looking good!

Nice combination of traditional and modern materials in a time honored design! I'm a big fan of wood frames. They may be a tad heavier, but they're so much quieter than aluminum.

This is a very interesting process! Thanks for posting it!

You have a great start. I look forward to following along!

Thank you Brian, for a very informative, useful post. I've enjoyed it start to finish! You've also got me thinking about glue joints differently now. My training as a carpenter always re-enforced the notion that good joints don't show, and when they do the fit is deficient. I've been guilty of...

Exceptional! I really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. It's always fun to see others experience of a trip you've enjoyed and treasure.

That's a dramatic change! Here in New England (VT) I'm hard pressed to notice any difference yet.

I'm not able to view photos like I used to. The problem seems to be where photos are posted as thumbnails at the end of the text. When I click on a thumbnail photo to enlarge it I get a black screen with arrows left and right and an X box in the top right corner. If multiple thumbnails are...

This is really great Brian! I'm really enjoying this. I appreciate the way you break the process down into logical steps. The photos and narrative are wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to document these builds, and sharing with us. Much appreciated!

Pretty dramatic before and after photos! Very nice repurpose/rehab. I've enjoyed following along. Thanks!

This is really interesting Tony. Thank you for posting your results. I've just started planning for building 2 seats, and have been thinking a lot about material choices, sizing, and orientation.

Six years. We are newbies. We restarted paddling about 10 years ago, and started canoe camping in 2015. We tripped 3 times in 2020, all in the ADK's.
