John,

Might it be a better idea to rig up a scrounged motor from and old washer or something rather than risk burning out the saw motor. That is a lot of sanding disc to turn.
Just a thought.
I really enjoyed doing the cutwater and skeg on my baidarka, found that it was easier than I thought and went together real slick. Enjoy!

Ken

I'll have to take and scan a better pic of the cutwater now that it's all glassed and looking pretty. This is what it looked like when I joined the hull and deck.
