I always think of things i'd like that aren't shop tools that I'd rather make. I took a class at WoodenBoat School in 2016 where we built a cedar strip canoe it’s was a blast and hope to make my own someday as well.

Same here except I start most projects, get into the actual build and set it aside for something " higher priority" aka something I want to do more. Currently I'm on a moratorium from and fresh starts. I had 6 unfinished projects going on at one time that needed done so no new projects till those are done and a storage solution is made for the shop.

Cedar strip canoe is something I want to do also. All in good time I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 @Cheeset202 So is the Roubo everything you dreamed it was? Is it better .... worse? Sorry for the HJ 45 minutes ago, MattF said: Cedar strip canoe is something I want to do also. All in good time I guess. My debate is between a single person canoe or a 2 person .... i'd love to make a small light fast one for just me to go fishing but it'd also be fun to run the Mississippi so a larger more stable river canoe that i could bring some one with would be fun as well. It's goign to lead to me building 2 of them. I'd love to someday canoe the Mississippi from the headwaters all the way to lock and dam #1. Boundary waters is also on the list.

I remember you posting about that. You and watching some of the Offerman videos on building the canoe made me realize they aren't as difficult as i made them out to be.

Nope just different from what we are used too kinda like doing a sculpted rocker (bars stools in my case.) Where typically we woodworkers are look for everything to be square on those projects its all about getting fair curves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
