dryfly.ca started as a website for sharing one of my DIY projects, a stitch and glue kayak. Since then I've added several more projects including a skin-on-frame kayak, cedar strip canoe, kayak paddles, canoe paddles, building a spey rod, and an antenna for receiving OTA HDTV. I also occasionally ramble on about politics, technology, bike racing, product reviews and last but not least, our kids.

I’ve almost finished sanding the epoxy on the outside of the hull, which makes me pretty pleased. Before I apply the varnish I will add a bit more epoxy, but I won’t add the final coat until the boat is almost finished. The idea is to add a very smooth, think layer of epoxy over the sanded hull. A very quick sand of this final coat will be a really good prep for the varnish.
As for where I’m at today, I just need to touch up the area along the keel and do a bit more sanding along the shear of the hull. Then I get to cut some cradles and lift the canoe off of the strongback.
