Canoe picture

[Green Weasel]

Hopefully there will be picture of my "economy" canoe sitting atop of the River Arun.
If not ,I've still not mastered posting pictures .
Hm still not mastered it . I have photobucket but clearly can't use it properly !.
I am an aging numpty not some young guy raised on technology and playstations .
Any advice welcome .

Afraid all there is showing is a box with a red X in it so it seems you last statement is correct

Nice try. That's how Picasso started.

Crikey . How did that happen !. I'm quitting while you guys have got me ahead . Thanks for the help .

 

[JonathanD]

That is a nice canoe.

 

[Green Weasel]

Kind of you to say so . It does have several design faults/quirks but the only thing that cost any real money was the canvas. Most of the rest, from the paint to the wood ,was scrounged or scavenged. I'm on mk 2 now which will hopefully be a touch smaller, lighter and ,er, a bit straighter !.

[Kerne]

Amazing
How long did it take to make?
I wouldn't worry about the techno stuff when you can make something like that! I know which I would rather be good at!

Ha ,Nuggets,yes beaver skins . The first thing a mate said to me when I e-mailed him a picture of the finished canoe was that he now expected a few photos of me drifting down the Arun with a pack of mink skins aboard .

Joely. I made it over about a month . Sometimes settling -in for a couple of hours of serious construction and at other times just putting a couple of dowels in place whilst waiting for the kettle to boil .

I tried posting pictures a few months ago but failed. Apart from the low level of my craftsmanship there are a couple of issues with design. These stemmed from my mental image of what a canoe should look like rather than proper regard for practicality. All adds to the fun though . That's my excuse ....
The pic was taken yesterday on my favourite bit of river .

Nice boat Green Weasel! Good photo too.

Be sure to let us see the MkII when she's finished. The Arun is a lovely river, but I'm too far from it to paddle it regularly now. you've brought back some good memories!

Cheers
