Whatever it took to get this Forum started, I'm glad for it!
But you have to know that reading little snippets about a "name that shall not be mentioned," or a web site not to be posted, really does tweak my curiosity!!

Don't fuss , neither of them are worth the thought or curiosity. That has been proved over time in more then one way , actually dozens which I will not get into.
I will say , there are folks willing to help any way they can and there are ones wanting to rip you off. You have to decide which is which. Time and experience is a great teacher and the folks on here or referred ( web site links) to on here have been there and can be trusted to do anything they can for you.
We believe in helping a person not shafting them.

:lol: I've already made my decision on where to go for answers, advice, and general good conversation!
Two Forums is about all I need. This one, and Matt's JEM Watercraft Forum. Two different Forums, two different styles. Interesting thing is, there's a lot of the same people on both.
I do look around at others, but mostly they are more focused on fishing. Some of those have "paddle" sections, some are mostly kayak oriented. I like those when they contain information about locations within my drive range, and sometimes to get ideas about gadgets and accessory items.
Often though, those last to things turn out to be more humorous, than anything practical.
Nope! I'm HOME and like it here. But I do get curious! (Not enough to press the issue!)

There is another (Aussie) woodworking forum around that caters to all sorts of woodworking. Boat building is only a small part.
These blokes are, in the main, perfectionists and while the site has a nice friendly feel to it, some of the fellers can get a bit brutal in their appraisal of your work. As the Admin openly states "If you can't stand the heat. Get out of the kitchen"
I would post a link only I lost it on the other 'putor. There are some fine/superb builds there with one bloke spending the last seven years working on a 5 panel canoe! I post there with a degree of trepidation
There are some very good reads in it.

guys ya'll gave me more information than I was expecting. Actually you made my job harder. Now I have to decide between 2 sets of plans.
I'll have a meeting with my woodworkers here in a couple of weeks and hopefully make a decision.
I'll keep everyone informed through the process. If I can figure out how hopefully I'll show some pictures of some young men building their very own boat.
Thanks again.
