Building 8′ canoe
September 30th, 2011Building 8' canoe model
Cold today.
January 24th, 2011Woke up to 20 below O today. Holy cow that's cold.
This time of year things can go very slow and canoes take time to dry, well the fillers and glues and paint ,varnish all take time to dry.
We gained 38 min of daylight so all this will help if the suns out.
Still in the winter for a month or so. I can almost hear the song birds and smell the spring air.
Steamer
January 18th, 2011Well I went out to the shop today and found my steamer froze-up pretty bad. Most of the time i keep the pellet stove on during the night.
Well the stove ran out of pellets and the shop was froze right up in good shape. If you look in one of the pictures you will see my hand holding a chunk of ICE.

September 12th, 2010Planking our brand new 43″ long canoe model with cedar
August 18th, 2010Well here we go, A few days back I built a new canoe form that will allow us to build a "BRAND NEW CANOE MODEL" this model will be added to our website and be ready for ordering soon, I hope all goes well with this little model.. This will be a test model, after its built and removed from the building form we will know what its going to look like. If need be we will have to remove all the metal clinching bands and re-work the form to alter the form.. time will tell. Keep an eye out.
