Thread: New canoe project

Just to prove that it actually does float, here are the pics from Sunday. The biggest problem was that it did not fit on the roof racks very well. The trip to work on Monday was horrendous. I have had a cover made for it to keep the spiders and kreepy crawleys out when it is not being used, hence the trip to work...The cover looks pretty schmicko as well, so all in all I am one happy camper.

I must admit that I lost enthusiasm part way through, and the final finish was a chore. When you take on a large build, you go through various stages, and when the original enthusiasm wanes, it turns into a hard slog!! Having said that, the small goals that you achieve along the way make you happy!! Completing the project has been fantastic and I would recommend it to everyone.

If anyone is thinking of building a canoe, feel free to give me a pm, and I will do my best to point you in the right direction.

Cheers to all and I will keep you posted.

Oh and forgive the dodgy Mo - it is Movember after all !!!

that's absolutely stunning, it was worth all the effort you put into her

Great one Thickas

Some more close up pics pls

... we might have to get together now we're both afloat.
Looks great, they get lots of comments both on the water and off

I think the secret to remaining enthusiastic on a big build is to do it fast

Cheers mate
See you on the water
