I'm excited for the progress. I've been planning to build one for a few years now, and (as with most things) life has happened so I haven't had the hours to devote to it...YET!!! Within the next three I should have the space and time to do it.
Please update regularly as I am very interested in the progress. I've read through canoecraft innumerable times, and just seeing yours gets me giddy!!!
Salud!
