Your photos showed up in the email, even though not in the web post. To answer your question, 1 strand is enough for the Snowshoe. You can use the 2 strands as...
One strand should be enough. I think it's five strand in one. I used hot glue gun because of the YouTube video. But I think heat n bond should be enough. Hot...
Ryanseo, Watching the Nimrod video is what helped throw me. Will follow your guys advice. Really enjoying the build. Adding the floor boards next, probably...

Very pretty - you did a nice job ! By having the lumber company precut the pieces you needed, you learned a new way to build a "kit" boat. The bottom line is...
Hello I feel like I am missing something very obvious but I just cannot figure out how to space my molds. I feel like the information must be in the plans...
