In Response To: Strip: New guy, Just saying hi! (Trey)

Welcome Trey. If you build wooden planes, you're qualified. Nothing square in a boat or a plane.
I think we all stand back and are a little amazed at what we've built. It comes in bits and pieces and in the end it somehow comes together. Cedar under epoxy is beautiful even if our boats have a few flaws.

: Kayaks today. I do not have a lot of wood working experience
: honestly. I have built wooden model airplanes for years, and I'm
: hoping that will help me.

: Right now, I'm trying to decide if I have the patience to do this
: or not. I know I don't have the skill, but that can be learned.
: Patience can be learned too I guess.
