: ... and hopefully to builder soon!
: Just wanted to introduce myself to the board and to say how impressed I am
: with the incredible wealth of knowledge being shared here. I'm also
: pleased to see - for the most part - the civility, sense of humor, and
: what appears to be genuine camaraderie and sense of concern for one
: another. Keep up the good work!
: As I'm sure is true for most "newbies", I have waaaay too many
: questions so I'll try to keep them to a minimum. Here's one for starters:
: I'll be spending a bit of time in the next few weeks tweaking my shop (I'm
: a woodworker by trade) so have the opportunity to plan ahead for some
: kayak building. I'm curious what working height people have found
: comfortable for stripping. Perhaps something like "sheer line vs. my
: waist height" or "top of hull vs. my elbow height".
: Probably not a big deal but hey, I have the chance to make it right, so
: why not!
: Thanks for any help; look forward to working with you all...
: Glenn
AS you can see working height=comfortable height, I like things up fairly high so sometimes the boat is too high. I have a couple of plastic milk cartons that I can push around with my feet and use as step stools when needed.
On one of them I screwed a piece of 3/4 ply , so when I put it on top of one or two other cartons it can be used as a small work bench or tool stand.
Good luck with your project, your'e sure to enjoy it!
Regards Tery
