: I am a high school Wood Shop/Engineering teacher and as a Design
: & Build project I think I am going to have kids build
: paddles. Ultimately, they will design them with CAD software and
: may even cut the paddle blades on a CNC Router (maybe). I was
: wondering if people had and good designs which are fairly simple
: (this is not our traditional wood shop class). I would like to
: have a few possible designs for them to work from, I was
: thinking kayak paddles, canoe paddles, stand-up paddle
: boards.... I plan to make a paddle in the next month or so, so
: that I can have more experience before they start their's. Any
: advice or design info you have would be excellent. Thanks.

Our host on this forum, Nick, has plans for paddles in his book too.
