I bought Nick Offerman's canoe building DVD even though I have no intention of building a canoe. I'm just a big fan of him and Jimmy DiResta

I was actually sad when I got to the end and the journey finished

You finished the outside. Then you flipped it over and I completely forgot you had to sand and epoxy that too! Looks great!

I -literally- saw the first picture, then wildly scrolled down to see if there was a Ron Swanson reference

Nick Offerman made a video tutorial for a canoe company after ordering a cedar plank kit, parts of it are on YouTube.

That's dope. 5/7

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

I'd agree on the 5/7 rating actually. Yes, it looks great for a first attempt, but it's riddled with little mistakes.7/7 will do again

Legit question how did you do the epoxy outdoors without getting blemishes? I always had little bits of dust fuck my shit up!

10 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

the truth is, we still had little bits of dust fuck our shit up. gnats in particular liked to kamikaze into the wet epoxy
