First of all thank you Tim. Just so that everyone knows Tim is helping me to work on a kayak that he started and it is coming along great. Tim has been a great mentor and has went above and beyond to keep this moving. I have skill levels that allow me to understand what is going on and have the skills to execute the tasks at hand but I have zero experience in this world and Tims advice and knowledge is very helpful. I will admit that Tim is getting frustrated at times but its mostly because I am not going to accept nothing less than 125% on my part. When I need to relax and enjoy, I find myself out working on the boat, and will try the next step on my own. Although not totally wrong but not totally right either. I can accept something wrong in life on my part if with good intent and effort. I am definately learning important things that I can carry on and transfer into life physically and mentally. Pics soon by the way check out Tim Summervilles harley davidson kayak!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow wow wow its unbeliavable and better in person. His others are a testament to his skills but the harley kayak is probably the best I have seen so far and I have looked at a lot.
My kayak has the top coated on top and bottom, bottom of boat is coated but not the inside bottom. Will work on this weekend and see how we do. I cannot get enough of this and hope I pursue this more. I will have a kayak that I will definately love to look at and be proud of my accomplishments to boot. Thanks again Tim. Thank you as well Sue.
