  1. Thanks for the compliment, Doug. The bike is in the pic due to the fact, like most others, I am building my boat in a two car garage. I love that bike, but wheeling the 750lb monster in and out of the garage can be a bit of a pain. It's all worth it in the end, though. The wife also parks her jeep in there. But, it's a little easier to move in and out. As far as cost, I haven't finished yet, but I think it will cost somewhere in the neighborhood, of $300 for the first one. By that I mean if you don't already have some of the supplies laying around and this is not counting any tools you might find useful in the process. You can save considerably if you already have some epoxy and some of the wood, but don't try to cut corners to much. Let me know when you start to build. I will be glad to share some of the mistakes I have made and some of the guidance that Graham has given me in the classroom. I don't read the forum on a regular basis sometimes, so feel free to email me.
  2. These bring it up to date. [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin]
  3. Here are some pics of the progress of my 12' Moccasin. In December I posted pics of the 15 footer, and I am currently preparring to glue the gunwales on it. This 12 footer is almost ready to have the seems taped. I just pulled the zip ties out. It's rough, but it's always darkest before the dawn. I will post more after I clean it up a bit and tape the seems. [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin]
  4. Hey Brent, make sure to take a look at the flyfisher. It may be just what you are looking for. http://www.bandbyachtdesigns.com/flyf.htm
  5. I have been reading the forum for a while, but have never posted. I am one of Graham's students and I just wanted to post a couple of pictures of my 15.5' moc coming together. I'll post more later, but I thought it would be great to stir up more interest in canoes and kayaks on the forum. I am also building a 12' moccassin, but am in the process of cutting it out and do not have any pictures to post on it yet. [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin]
