Haha... Yeah I wanted to build the osprey HP but Pygmy doesn't offer the plans and an inflated ego(hard head disease) coupled with a distorted sense of frugality won't allow me to build from a kit.Edensaw and boat building supplies are right here in the backyard as well.As a result I'm building straight out of the book, filling in the blanks and gaining some experience. I've just stained a laminated okoume rib (another project) and will give it at least 2 days to dry before continueing on to the epoxy test.I'll be looking around for a local source of analine dyes in the mean time.Thanks
