Join us Saturday for a display, conversation and fun centered around home-built kayaks, canoes and other small boats. Bring and display your home-built boats, or simply come to view the crafts, learn and engage in conversation about boat building. The general public is invited.
Just in case y’all are wondeirng what I’m doing this weekend.
Finished up the bow and stern yesterday and the chines late last night. Tonight I’ll knock it all apart and finish up sanding a few rough spots before I start gluing it together. Hannah was disappointed to hear that I’d have to take it all apart again before I glue it.
Just a pointer over to my dad’s blog where I’m writting about my first attempt at building a kayak. My dad (Tony) is also posting about his 3rd strip built kayak. When I’m done with the first (for my daughter), I’ll immediately jump into making a larger one for me.
I got back from a weekend at Huntsville State Park for the Texas Kayak Builders Bash.
Check out my Flickr set for more details of the weekend.
There were about 40+ boats, mostly kayaks but a few very nice looking canoes. Hannah (my daughter) was bitten by the kayak bug and is now convincing me to build her a kayak. I’m consideirng a couple of Skin on Frames, particularly Tom Yost’s design for kids, the Sea Pup for Hannah and the Sea Tour 17 for me.
When I do get around to building a kayak, I’ll probably document it over on my father’s blog: Kayak Bytes.
