In Response To: Re: The feather, and hollow-core paddles (Don Beale)

: The technique has led me to a jig that I can use to lay up hollow core,
: hollow core w/ glass inside for strength, with truss-type, block
: structures, or balsa-cored, or foam for that matter. I'm thinking
: seriously about production. Two prototypes are on the ways, and I just
: came from Alder Creek, where Steve says if I build 'em, he can sell 'em...
: I have a little more experimenting to do with strength/stiffness of
: different internal structures, and then we'll see. I'll have a prototype
: in his shop by the second week in January.

That's way cool, Don. Way to go.

Make sure your avocation doesn't become your vocation. Or, if it does become your vocation, don't get burned out It would be a terrrible thing to not want to build paddles because you felt like you HAD to.
