In Response To: One canvas source (Bill Price)

: The canvas supplier that Rehd mentioned was Pearl Painters in CA:
: http://www.pearlpaint.com/index.html

: They have #10 duck for $4.33 + shipping. I believe they have the pliers for
: $17. I'll try to tough it out like Mike and use my fingers. As Spidey
: knows, I can always epoxy them together if they get too sore. :)

Just ordered 14 yards of #10 Duck canvas 60 in wide from Pearl. Cost including shipping is $67.

I also just finished the trestle. I filled in all the missing gaps where the forms were. I've got some ideas on how to simplify the floorboards. Once I finish this boat and get it on the water, I'm going to start another with all these ideas that are rolling around in my head. I think its possible to build a better, simpler, prettier, more durable wheel (Walrus) in less time. 8)
