although we don't have the sweet onion. We use a small onion about an inch in diameter for pickling. As well as the pepper we add allspice, mace, cloves, cinnamon and a little chilli (optional). Goes great with cheese dishes. Tried to find a source of Granex Onions in Australia, they...

Just want to share, the only bragging here is it floats and I learned a lot. needs a bit more weight up front... but comes with cup holders and seems to move well Now there's a space in the shed for another project... :twisted: Tor

bloody amazing what you can build out of ply these days... :lol:

Well those two quotes put pay to a post I made earlier suggesting that a particular design wasn't popular because of the asymmetric design (but that was a canoe). maybe it's at it's widest where you sit but much skinnier elsewhere, it wouldn't be any wider than a symmetrical design so there...

Hey, when did our pollies move to America? Must be the same the world over.

Hey JT, One saturation coat up to 3 to fill the cloth and it doesn't darken much beyond the fist coat. As you should (have to) varnish the epoxy to protect it from the sun the polyurethane varnish may take the tint better than the epoxy. I've read a number of posts not recommending tinting...

It's all wrong, there's no frames and it's the wrong way up. I've built one canoe and you've broken all the rules... As Mick said Tor

If you take the lead ingots out it wouldn't run so deep and you'd have not hit the bottom :P repairs looking good and solid. Tor

Thanks Chaps, Chuck, isn't that the photo on the website? I might get the plans anyway, but as this will be only my second build I might still need my hand holding for a while :wink: I thought the lines looked very like the Sasquatch and I know Matt will eventually get out the plans...

Anyone any experience with Selway Fisher designed canoes? They're based in the UK I've been eyeing this one up... http://www.selway-fisher.com/Opcan16.htm#PROSP and Mrs Tor fancies "the Peterborough" Tor

mmm...? and many more of you use Nalgene too, no ill effects you say. :roll: Tor

That looks bloody wonderful... Mick, can you do me a favour and take a piccy of the bow an how you've finished the gunwhales at the pointy end, it looks a bit different to another picture you have used to describe how to do this (or is it just the angle). Tor

Looked a bit busy for me :lol: good catch and I nice eating. Tor

We use a synthetic "rubber" mat under the tent (having scraped away loose stuff), we got it when we had a camper trailer (Jayco) and most of the sites we used would only allow a "breathable" ground sheet under the annex. As the kids grow we are downsizing (camper trailer to 9 man dome to...

sounds like one hell of an experience was had. Jack, what is the boat that you're paddling (I assume you built it), looks like it could play in small waves too? makes me want to go and play in the water but I haven't finished yet... Tor

Hey Mick, How did that paddle stand up? I'm now searching for all the offcuts I can find. You guys Have way to much time and provide way too many ideas (distractions) good job my project management skills are honed to avoid the inevitable scope creep... ...read "the Mrs" keeps me on...

Hey TK, I got mine from Bunnings very similar to the ones DM uses and they are good, also got two squeegees at $8 each, they do the foam rollers too (at half the price the boat store sells them at) I haven't done much glassing yet - just the spliced joints but I have a solid roller the sort...
