Next. I've got the cloth on the inside of the boat and am ready to pin it to the hull with resin. It's already noon and I like to have a full day to deal with a step like this so it won't happen before tomorrow. Hopefully it will be warmer in the next couple days, keeping the shop warm enough is tough when temps are in the 20's outside.
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.
