: Hi all,

: After lurking here for nearly two years, I thought I should crawl
: out from the woodwork and introduce myself. My name is Tim
: Sheehan and I'm building my first kayak, a strip Guillemot. With
: the help of this forum as well as the web sites of many of the
: participants, and of course Nick's books, I've managed to get to
: the point of attaching the first strip to the forms. The quick
: details of the build are:

: Western red cedar, staples, rolling bevel, internal and external
: stems.

: The gory details, mistakes and all, can be found at
: http://timskayaking.blogspot.com/

: The attached picture shows the fruits of my labor as of last
: Saturday.

Yer lookin' good, Tim - and by the looks of your shop, a professional, to boot.

BTW, there are no 'mistakes' - only 'personal touchs'.
