: Thanks, Bill! I'm not quite as technical as others here are. I've learned and
: come to appreciate tons from the more experienced builders here but I
: still like to learn some things on my own.

Me too.

My experince with building is
: still in the budding stages.

Me too.

After I build the Night Heron I just might
: lay claim to a little more skill. With all the input we get here on the
: GBBS it's easy to figure out which way is going to work out best taking
: all things (including personalities) into consideration.

Yeah, you just received the plans for that Night Heron for your birthday, right? Isn't it cool to be on the threshold of beginning a boat? Taking inventory of tools and supplies...thinking about strip patterns and stock types...things that worked well before, and how you can replicate that, and conversely things that didn't work out well before and how you can rectify that. Anticipation of the uses you'll be putting your Night Heron to...a great place to be.

: Interestingly enough, with all this talk of syringes, some one in Winnipeg
: sent me a whole bunch of assorted syringes. No name on teh package, just a
: return address. Does someone want me to get building or what?

Were the syringes used?...with all the talk about acetone and vinigar and alcahol, just wondering.

Happy Planning!
Bill
