 Building the Six Hour Canoe February 24, 2000
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
A neat idea, I am not sure how my canoe will turn out because it is presently incomplete. As one friend said - "just for interest's sake, keep track of your time." One would have to be superhuman to finish this canoe in six hours, but the book is good and the plans are inspiring. The book is a bit less complete in its discussion of materials and techniques than I might have hoped, but it does include a big section on using the canoe as a learning project with groups and such. Altogether, a neat book, if incorrectly titled.
 This is the best book for a beginner June 1, 1999

The tiltle can be very deceiving. At least it was for me. Building the 6 hour canoe was very easy using the plans and directions provided by the book. I do not have allot of experience working with wood and this book made the whole experience pleasurable. The whole project took me 4 weekends to complete. I imagine that with the right equipment all the components of the boat could be cut out and prepared for assembly within 6 hours. The epoxy recommended requires a cure time of 6 hours so be prepared for the project to last longer than expected. The pictures help explain the directions. There are a few errors in the pictures but by following the directions you can't go wrong. Do not forget the limber holes in the frame. the plans show the location but the directions do not cover them. The hardest part was finding the 16 foot 1x2s required. I ended up having to rip them from a 2x6. Other than that, it was fun and I now want to try another style of boat. My daughter and I are looking forward to having fun with this canoe.

I built the described canoe as soon as I got the book. It was my first canoe building project and I found it straight forward and simple. The canoe is ideal for one adult or one adult and a child. I enjoy it with my 5 year old son who likes to paddle it alone on calm water. It was a great father & son project.
