Lots of elbow grease in my near future. I've got all of the epoxy resin on the boat that I'm going to and now the sandpaper, rasps, planes and spokeshaves get to do their part. Next week I should be getting finish on the boat.
Michael Thomsen of Tecumseh, Michigan built his first canoe because he wanted a small, easily handled boat to fish from. It turned out so nice he knew he had to build more. “Canoe Mike” has now retired from his day job as an electrician and devotes all his time to building boats and paddles. He makes wooden canoes using the wood strip and fiberglass method. He buys the caned seats and brass hardware for the boats, but hand makes all the other components of the boat. He also makes wooden canoe and kayak paddles.
