Part 1- Retrospective
Where to start with this tale?

I think it started 4 years ago when I had just finished building my Selway Fisher Coble. I found out I loved boat building.

I got a hankering to build a larger boat, a double ender, something fit for Lake Superior where I had recently bought some lake front property. I was telling a friend about my plans when he told me about some "pointy on both ends" boats in a farmers field somehwere in the Prairies....

Building a JW 'Tender Behind' - Part Four

Posted 05-01-2010 at 01:08 PM by Mike (Building Boats In My Backyard)

Right! Onwards and upwards, as they say. Here is my TB build blog, Part Four. If you haven't yet read Parts Three, Two, and One, just click again on 'Build Blogs' on the Homepage and check 'em out.

Here's a pic taken in the early morning of Wednesday, 6 January 2010. As you can see from the paw prints, the huskies kinda like it and have been charging around in it having fun. Even huskies like going back into the warmth indoors.
