J.E.D. Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 That's a great jig/guide to fit the chines to the stems. Gotta love the ingenuity of a good trades-man. In the shop I call that "Funky Doin's" Thanks for the idea Woodman. Jered Quote
woodman Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks all...I held off on skinning this one so the dad could do it..... Quote
Kudzu Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 This thing looks AWESOME!! I love the way it looks. One question, is there enough screws in the coaming? Looks like I need to change the spacing and add a few. Quote
JReed Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Looks like a mini Shad. What is the young lad looking into in the way of color? Quote
woodman Posted September 19, 2013 Author Posted September 19, 2013 Well he put his first coat of Helmsan satin spar urethane today ..No color added..looks good... Jeff...On the coaming, I used every other hole registered on the plan ....figured that would be plenty... Quote
Kudzu Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Any updated photos? Anxious to see this one on the water. Quote
woodman Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 OK the boy's dad finished coating it, he carved a seat and we made a back band...hopefully get it on the lake they live on .. Tomorrow supposed to be 70deg. Quote
Kudzu Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Lots of photos!! I need some for the web site. Quote
P Doug (WA) Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 That is a great looking kayak and a very happy looking kid. Quote
woodman Posted October 21, 2013 Author Posted October 21, 2013 The boy is a natural..When he first got in, it seemed twitchy just watching him sitting in it next to shore as I held on to the stern...But he said it was fine...one time he leaned over so far the combing almost got wet but he was still in control..... Maybe he gets it from his mom..she standing up in a different kayak to untangle a lure... Quote
JReed Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Thats really cool. the boat looks great and he seems to be a happy camper. Quote
