Jimmylee,

I would like to put pics here but I don't know how to do it. I have pics on my computer,and I can e-mail pics but how am i to put on here?

some have trouble posting pics...i did. so some get a Flicker account or post them on MSN pics and then just send the link here on the forum for us to click to. we built a MC-16 last year and just completed a WD-12. its a great hobby and very satisfying when you float by those plastic off the shelf jobs...

The deck is walnut in color and the hull is tan. I used Benjrman Moore paint, acrilyic latex. I have 7 coats of varnish on the deck and three coats of paint on the Hull. Sanding??? It took 6 weeks to build Her. I think I spent half of them weeks sanding! West System Epoxy is tough epoxy. I sanded until my hands would get numb. After a while I got use to sanding, knowing that my kayak was getting closer to being done.  She LOVES the water. I can tell!  

Boatbuilding is more chemistry than carpentry. post those pics or a link soon so we can all ooh and ahh over your efforts.

Jon, I like to show off to those plastic kayaks. They are heavy and they look bad along side one of our wooden classics. Just my opinion. Jim

Yes I will learn how to post pics tomorrow. I have a friend that is going to help. Thanks Guys
