Bens Boats: September 2010
http://bensboats.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 16, 2010. On to the leeboard and bracket. The leeboard is carved out of a solid piece of white ash, beautiful stuff. I used the method I read about on Duckworks Magazine. Then sanded nice and smooth. As you can see, I still haven't gotten around to painting it. still a little unsure about the color, help me decide by voting in the poll on the right side of the page - -. The leeboard pivots on a 1/2" stainless steel bolt, with large stainless steel "thumb" nuts. These are relativel...

Sunday, April 17, 2011. Skinning the Sea Tour 17 EXP. Finally posting again. it has been a while! I have made some more progress in getting the "skin" installed.

Bens Boats: April 2012
http://bensboats.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Kids Greenland Paddle - Part 1. Until it's warm enough for epoxy, I can't really get much done on Sara's kayak. So, I decided to make her a greenland style paddle. There are a variety of resources available on the internet describing how to estimate sizing them, I used the Qajak USA recommendations. The next step will be to plane the blades to the correct shape and sand it smooth. Finally, I'll apply an oil finish. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. It is called the " Io. I was asked to ...
