Well. We do have nice conversations. See I'm talking to Pablo.

Smooothing along. Rough sanded with 80 grit. Going to fill bad spots and screw holes. I am debating, with the other voices in my head, thinking of doing a seal coat. If I do, should I sand to 120 grit then seal coat and then re-sand the hull to 120 or 150? Or should I seal coat, with it rough...

Someone on here explained how to cut the fiberglass so it would lay better and be easier to work. Maybe they'll chime in and help. There's just to many curves on the ends and it really takes practice and experience to get it perfect. Luckily the polyurethane hid a lot of my flaws. I still see...

Did you put your football patch on top of the full sheet of fiberglass or under it? I put mine on top of the main sheet of glass. I didn't know what to do when I started pulling the treads out of the patch. The more I tried to work the resin out, the more threads came with it. I was awful, I...

Awesome! That really makes the wood sparkle. The word "Pop" I think has gotten over used. I love the darker spots where knots were.

I'm installing the bow stem. everything looks good 👍.Im trying to keep my straps from getting epoxy on them, but if they do there shouldn't be any higher honor then dieing on a canoe build.

I love the peace and quiet when I go. I don't go to escape the outside world or the responsibility's of married life. I don't even have a stressful job. I do like to have cell coverage, at least enough, to text my wife. I never get bored. I always busy myself with camp chores and fire wood. I...

I would do a yearly fee. I'm lazy when it comes to donations. I hope you got mine.

Yes I figure I'll dry fit my outer stems, mark them and then work in my accent strip, so I get it straight. And then I'll install my outer stems. Going to be hard to cough up money on the glass and epoxy after I blew 500$ on the Demonic Subaru. I hate that car.

Yes I think I follow you. I'll mock something up to see how it works out. Roy

I'm a little stuck and looking for advice. I want to incorporate this accent strip down the center of the keel from stem to stem. Should I dry fit my outer stems first and then work in the accent strip? Roy

Sent a donation to this sketchy sounding person, Glenn MacGrady? 😉 You all on this site have been great. Thanks to all. Roy

Paint! I thought yours turned out very well. You were my inspiration to build one myself.

Thanks for the input. I need to tilt it way up on the side so I can look at the chime area. I may need to rework some of that. I thought I was doing good but now I question it.

I didn't explain it well, sorry. My strips are a quarter of an inch further from center then the other side. I botched it from the start near chime. This thing got a chime like my aunts over bite.

Hmm 🤔 got to do me some thinking on this. I think it's shaping up pretty good. First thing I noticed was the bow In this area on both sides, the light poplar strip is a little sunken in and slopes, slightly, inward where it meets the cherry strip. Both sides are the same in the same spot...

Is the wood trim any heavier? I prefer wood over aluminum or plastic. The wood trim looks really nice on it. Warm looking. Roy

I'm not trying to drag politics in it. Not my intention. Forget I said anything.

My wife claims that during his 2nd term, he was coming out to give a speech and stood on the wrong side of the podium facing away from the audience. She said Nancy came out and turned him around, and he stated, "Oh there you are", and went on with his speech. My wife said I was watching it with...

Interesting? Yes that what my wife says when looking at, odd things, if you know what I mean? Whew boy! Yes! Look at what I have created! Eh I let you know how it progresses. Roy
