Stitch And Glue Kayak With No Plans

[woodman]

Thanks for the compliments guys. Now I am trying to build a comfortable light-weight wood seat. I do have some closed-cell-foam I could incorporate into it also.

I used 1/4'' slats to give it some flex.

I plan on slats for the back, but it in the developmental stage now.

It still feels a little hard on the tail bone.

The bottom is done in automotive acrylic enamel.

Mistakes in the hull due to the framing, but it is a learning experience (without plans).

I didn't see any mistakes. If they are there, they are unforseen without knowing what to look for.

I still like what you made. Keep up the good work!!

Very nice! I am with flytyer, I am missing the mistakes as well.

Do you have a cost estimate?

The finish looks real nice. Is it just the pics or does it have a bit of a reverse rocker ?

Very, very nice work. It's beautiful man. I want your shop!

I think 65 pounds is very reasonable for a tandem kayak...the problem I'd have is taking the thing on the water lest that nice finish gets scratched.

You win the door prize, it was to late when I descovered the screw up. The plywood was glued down to the frames.

Like I said it is a learning process. I guess if I thought it was perfect I wouldn't want to put it on the ozark streams and bump it on some rocks.

The reclining seat out of cedar and walnut.

Great looking seats!!!! I could use a few of those in my boat.

Rigging up the fishing aspects now.

I came across the anchor trolly system.

I made up some nylon pcs. to keep the rope in-line.

The anchor rope slips through the ring.

Next thing to get is a quick release cleat for the anchor rope.

Absolutely awesome! Very well done!
