Howdy folks,

I'm from Central Wi, west of Waupaca. While I've been a canoer most of my life, I honestly have been not doing much of it the last few decades. I do want to change that up. But my main reason for joining here is because I plan to start building a wood stripper soon. And the posts on that here seem to be some of the better ones I've come across online. This is a project that in general I've been thinking about off and on for over 30 years since i got a copy of Canoecraft as a teenager. And finally decided to tackle it. I've watched many a video, and read several articles, but there is nothing like actually doing to get you going. I do have some questions I'm going start asking in the appropriate channel. But thought I'd make an introduction here first.
 
Welcome. There's a lot of knowledgeable folk here. I'm not one of them, but if you post about your build I'll certainly read it.
 
John, welcome to site membership! Feel free to ask any questions and to post messages, photos and videos, and to start threads, in our many forums. Please read Welcome to CanoeTripping and Site Rules! Many of the site's technical features are explained in Features: Help and How-To Running Thread. We look forward to your participation in our canoe community.

Many folks have built strippers with guidance from this site. Go for it.
 
Welcome John. I wouldn't have built my first if not for the folks on this site. Ask anything & remember that you're probably not the first to wonder about something so asking helps all the future builders also.

I'll look forward to following along (caution: I'm more "wood butcher" than "craftsman", so bear that in mind if I answer a question)
