how long did that take you???

[Tom Richards]

Looks good mate ! How many hours did it take you?

[Ian Leach]

Looks like fun mate, well done:-) , I wonder if it would float weren't you tempted to give it a go

[agg221]

I'm very disappointed that you put them in the truck rather than taking them down the river

 

Look really good.

they took two of us about a day and a half,to get to this stage! one canoe each,dan gilbert (my fellow colleague ) working along side me, as we only had one adze ,the mizer cut the bottoms flat, then a few hours on the chainsaw, a little efco chainsaw with carving bar for plunge cuts, then gransfor spitting axe to take large chunks out, followed up with adze, in an ideal world we would leave them to dry out for a few months, then sand up, but my deadline was by the end of jan,. they hold water alright as it tipped it down last night and we emptied them. there going to be sat on two ponds in the greenhouse, so lets hope they float lol:lol:
