Hey Taw It looks good! Did you ever find that door stop for rub rails? You can scarf or butt joint any type of rub rail together to get the length you need. Chuck's warning is sure to be heeded, especially after you releaved the ribs like you did. I get why you did it and it should work but I...

I found this to be very interesting! http://www.google.com/mars/

Yep just like Chuck said is how I did mine and it worked great and came out square. no need for pre drilling. I like the way you think though Taw! Heck if you want to it's your boat pre drill away! I did not want to many holes so I tried to keep it to a minimum but enough to hold it together...

First, My friend Jack, Thank you for the advice on the inwales. I really loved the look of the end grain on the cypress after I rounded it off so I figured Why not go around! I am sure one continous inwale would be stronger like you said. I have gone to great lengthes to try and fit all the ends...

Jack, I already cut and sanded and fit all the inwales in sections. I really did not want to cut the ribs. I will sand them and round them to fit in well.

I got some quality time in on the pirogue this past week. I might have created a bit more work for myself with my idea to use a wooden dowel cut into small spacers instead of square stock but I like how it's coming out so far. Although it was a lot of sanding and fitting the different angles it...

Taw, I used plastic on mine and it created wrinkles but I sanded them down and went on. The butt joints were not even noticable after they were glued to the boat. I understand you are not in a hurry but only have limited time to build, so try to get everything ready and three or four steps ahead...

Wow Mick that boat came out looking great! I've checked out the build a couple of times on JEM and thought it would be a great boat for my wife also. Good On Ya Again Mate! Now a question about the seat. I saw you took the Pirogue seat and modified it even more than Chuck did with the...

OCD or just lucky the first time out! Don't get to down on yourself there Mudd. It can't be that bad that you want to build an expensive fire. What kind of shape is the boat in? I'm sure the fellas here can help you with any problems you may have. They always have some words of wit for anyone...

Fish sauce is good eats in the right proportions like Mick said. It is very flavorful with a bowl of sticky rice and some Thai bbq or chiken skewers and hot chili sauce and a Cold Ting Sao beer or Saporro MMMMMM! Like soy sauce it goes a long way being so salty. Thai food espacially has a very...

Hold on a minute there guy's I resemble that remark! :wink: Acctually this is and I swear on jack's cat my first time! You guy's and this website are all I have for information. It is all right here in this forum. I also have not had any problems arise as yet, Knock on epoxied wood! So...

I've been working on the Pirogue that last two days! Here are the results of glassing the inside. I did it in two steps the two middle sections first yesterday before work and the bow and stern sections today. I'm starting to worry what I'll do when I'm done! Just kidding :lol: I'm sure...

Thanks for the kind words Gents. It means a lot coming from such accomplished builders and paddlers as yourselves. I used to ride all the time Jack. I even commuted on my bike to work when I lived in northern California, about 30 miles a day. It was at times very daunting riding amongest so...

Great idea! I was thinking you could do the same thing to make a push pole slash long paddle for those daring enough to stand and pole. You would just have to cut the paddle end on one side and scarf it to the handle end of the other. leaving one handle end in tact. not sure if the overall...

WOW, After the varnish she took on a life of her own. That old cypress sinker was not done living yet. She is gorgeous and very unique! I am just blown away with the simplicity of the lines. Subtle yet striking. Give yourselves a big pat on the back. Well done! :shock: Any idea on a weight...

Well guys I have moved forward and missed some good photo opportunities because my wife had the camera with her on a trip to Louisville this weekend. I have saturated the inside, sanded and sanded some more the outside, saturated it as well, sanded again, cut and fit glass for the bottom...

To quote Jim Carey in dumb and dumber! " I LIKE IT A LOT" Your hard work has paid off well. That is one great looking boat with the combination of the wooden decks and the paint it all works very well. Be proud Scooter! I am a big fan of the natural wood look, but this looks great also! :D
