: I finally got around to putting the pictures of my Putz Walrus 17 that is in
: the works. Thought the dang floors would take forever! Thanks for the tips
: and discussion on the many parts of this. Much more to go .....

Thanks, Beth and Bill (I know where the power lies) for great inspirational site! My Walrus lies on a 4 x 4 in the back yard, forms/keelson/chines in place, drooling over Mike's progression thru TWO boats! I used "parting stops" ( 3/8" x 7/8", marketed for the wood window trade) for keelson, chines, and will follow Mike's lead when the new shed arrives, and I can move indoors. See what looks like a stripper blooming in the background of the last picture? I agree that Nick's "Electronic Front Porch" is a great place to learn!! I plan two Walri, (?) one door-skin, and one with septic filter cloth/Snow-Coat roofing covering. Meanwhile, I paddle a post-rental Walden Vista (can you say "Woody Wannabe?). Terrific documentation, Beth! TNX, Scotty
