O.K. I've checked out about 6 or 8 sites, and two or three semi-local sources, so, NOW, I need to break this thing down ( Glen "L"'s Rob Roy ) and see how much of what I need of what. Their plans and materials list are somewhat lacking, as I believe they would like me to buy their covering kit. But, my brother did that and kicked himself in the butt for days for it. Might have worked if he were a pro, but, a first timer,~~~~~~ He ended up hunting down more stuff to finish. So, if anyone has built a Rob Roy canoe, or just as good, someone who is good at calculating averages by size, maybe you could give me some clues on materials for this project. 14 1/2' long ........... plywood ( already have ) ...................... fiberglass covered ( 4oz. inside and out )................ a little hardwood .......resin filler ................ clear finish.........etc.

I haven't been watching this site for long, so if there is info on guestimating this sort of thing, maybe someone might remember where or when. I'm interested in learning all the fassets of this hobby. I don't wish to go too far over on supplies, and of course, I don't want to come up short.

I'd appreciate the jump-start !! Thanks again for the tons of advice on materials locating. Like I mentioned before, I think I've spent 30+ hours on this canoe and haven't even cut any wood. Do I have to count that into my building time?? LOL Later,.... Rehd

P.S. (if this is F.G. covered will brass screws do ??)
