Suzi It's a DR350. Plenty 'o fun. 8)

Progress..... Here is where things stand. Frames and end plates are ready. Sides are cut and ready to join with glass and resin. Bottom panels need one more rip to proper width. then join. From there, sides go on the frames followed by wales and chine logs. I need to pick up some...

Well, this isn't really a paddling trip report, but a land based scouting trip of part of the TYGER River in upstate South Carolina. :roll: While waiting for some glue to dry on some frames I just assembled for my project; I decided to take a bike ride down into South Carolina to scout some...

I like it... After seeing your post about this material. I checked the local Lowe's and came home with three sheets for my project. It is just as you said and handles well in my hands. 8) Thanks! Peanut butter? Nope, tastes like chicken. :D

Under way... Assembled three of five frames today. That stage should be finished tomorrow, then prepping to connect the panels begins . 8) The building instructions say to use TWO layers of tape on each side when joining panels. I presume they mean allowing the first layer of tape and resin...

Zap! Welcome, Kelly. You aren't messing around, there. I saw the sort of work you folks do when the cabinet shop was out at the main assembly building some years ago. Most impressive! No, I don't have a "G". :roll: Please tell us about your PVC pipe clamps. Nockatee........used to live on...

Nice! That looks nice! I am trying to work out some bevels to allow me to "pinch" the bow and stern on my project so it will look a bit more graceful. I keep going back to the original plan after thinking it will be a bit of a "freighter" after all. NEWS FLASH! Wood is in the basement...

Right there with you I'm just a few steps behind you. Picking up the wood this afternoon. Welcome and good luck! From what I have seen, the folks here will keep us from getting too far off course.

Really nice! Excellent job stitching the pics and music together. A most enjoyable 5 minutes. Yes, details, please. This will be on my "must do" list. Thanks! Mike

Ya'll come! I'm just learning about the places to paddle around here and lo and behold here is this lovely trip right in my back yard! I had not even begun to look up that way thinking the water would be more difficult than I want to go on. So, when you folks want to come up this direction...

Excellent! Good looking slipper. It should provide a lot of pleasure.

So true.... Your words could be placed on the ingredients list on my bottle of life's elixir. Add the following....shake well with a measure of "use it or lose it".

Any where... Seems that folks of that sort have no borders. We took an early morning paddle down a stretch of the Kennebeck last year. The first stretch was great with the early morning sun and the rising mist off the river. But then we rounded one bend and there the riverbank was littered...

Yep.... Just a bit longer and narrower..... 8) I like the way his swag is tied up and stowed on the floor. You can imagine a gator or hog lying there as well. Killing Mr. Watson was a good-un. :wink: Heading for Lowe's Monday on a plywood quest..

Seedtick wins this round! :P I should have been more clear that the above illustration from Chappelle is for a larger craft and could be called "The Inspiration". Looks like it shows a beam of 4' 6" which certainly mo' bigger than the proposed punt. See this link for the real deal...

Down to one... I'm down to one right now, Jack. It is a DR350 "dualsport". I like to ride off and on road and camp off the bike. Have had a variety of street and DS machines over the last few years...got back on two wheels about 8 years ago. Usually ride about 10-12K miles a year. At one...

As mentioned in my intro, the basement will soon be filled with sawdust and the smell of epoxy and a craft much like this will appear. [/img] It is not a pirogue, but the finished product is sort of like the red-headed stepchild that doesn't really belong in any particular place other than...

Headwear.... Thanks for the welcome. I think I'm gonna like it here! I often have to place an old colander over my melon to filter out the the scatter. I can tell the mother ship is near when the number "nineteen" penetrates my consciousness. Usually another motorcycle appears when that...

Just a note to say hello to all on the forum and introduce myself. I have been away from boats for awhile, but the fever has returned and I'm itching to get on some flat/black water soon. I am sitting on plans for a Pirogue as well as a Punt. My intentions are to start on the Punt in the next...
