Took me about 8 hours using just a block plane and a spoke shave (not counting the time it took to glue up 2 1x4 boards). Did you design your own or use plans? >> Woody, I LOOSELY based my design off of two articles from the net, one by George Ellis and one by Gordon Brown (Thanks if yall are out there some where!). Mainly I just used their table of sizes according to paddler height and ad- libbed from there. Has that epoxy broken down from UV exposure at all? I've heard rumors that it will. The teak has turned out to be pretty nice looking, and isnt as heavy as one would expect from Teak. Nonetheless, my Trapezius muscles do get quite a workout on a day's paddlin'. thanks for the advice, robin. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Feb 25 1999 - 16:35:45 PST
