Thanks Glenn! I appreciate the site update email, and it looks great!

With thanks to the helpful folks in finding the old post on the canoe stand, I modified it a little to fit my needs. I’m certainly no Tom Dodd with a Skil Saw, but it went together!!! I had been storing a Mad River Explorer on the floor as there is no usable wall space and hanging from the...

Robin, if you do the router method, make sure you use a backing board to minimize tear out.

Thanks Denise...I had found thread that in my search. Pook came up with the one I was looking for.

Thanks Robin! I KNEW I saw it here! The upside to my search is I found a whole bunch of interesting posts.....time well spent. I picked up lumber a little b8t ago and will play around with some mockups before I cut anything. I might make the uprights pivoting, so I have a storage, and a work...

Awesome...heading to HD for lumber this afternoon. I might invert the lower deck to allow for placing plastic bins to store gear. Means a little cutting but that gets me going. I’ll post pics of what I come up with.

Pook, did you build that? If not, how did you find the post? I might have to widen my measurements to get my Chum to fit...I have a little more leeway for the Kevlar boat.

That’s it!!! Thank you very much! I don’t know if I can get 2 canoes on at the same time, but that will get me going. I tried some measurements and was coming up short...no pun intended!

Thanks Jim..... I’m thinking it was 2015 or so, the are older posts, so not sure if that’s it. It had some clever ideas. I was hoping to store a canoe on the top shelf, and another in the cradle, plus it provides a work station, and perhaps bin storage on the bottom. I don’t think I could sell...

i am looking for an old post that has some pictures of a “unique” rolling canoe rack. I’ve searched under rack, cart, work cart....even gone through the DIY threads. As I recall, particular cart was on wheels, had 2 decks, and the most prominent feature were the uprights ...... they were splayed...

I originally was just using 6 small pieces of carpet under my cot feet, and that worked just fine. Then I had the bright idea that I could store my plastic Home Depot storage bin(s) with my gear in them under the cot for a little more floor space in the tent. The bins were just a little too tall...

Welcome to the club! I tried a thicker pad, and that didn’t do much to help. So, for car/truck camping, I went with a Cabela’s cot, and a sleeping pad. No guilt, and a great nights sleep. The Thermarest Luxury pad makes a great pairing. What I did to minimize any punch throughs was glue some...

Hey Doug! Funds sent via PayPal. Thanks for picking up the torch!

Happy New Year to everyone as well.....I've got a load of firewood stacked on the deck ready to go for this evenings festivities. The question is will I outlast the firewood?

Great job, Robin! I'll bet the box was a hit with your grandson. I like the idea of the removable top....much more versatility and you don't have to worry about the hinges getting sprung or catching on something. I'll bet your shop is as cold as a witch's nanny today!! Enjoyed the music as well...

Hi Robin! I'd like to chime in and say I'm open to what ever you decide to keep the site up and running. I'm sure this labor of love can be quite time consuming. Also up for assisting with funding when the time comes. With a cyber "Secret Chum Handshake......." Yohawk

As my mind wanders over memories of old, my Dad once told me I'd go from Field & Stream to Playboy, back to Field and Stream......the circle of life!!

Nice work Robin. I had an old toy box that I used for my camping stuff when I was a Boy Scout. Seeing that box brought back some fond memories.

I use wool mittens......the secret is to wear a pair of latex gloves underneath. Had a friend turn me on to this several years ago and I've thanked him many times over.
