Charlie, I agree with everything you say. I've got Nick's book and a few others. I'm in the building process now. I'm working from a plan I purchased. It's the glassing end of the construction I'm fuzzy on. I don't know how much epoxy, or fiberglass and other incidentals I need and where to buy them. Which brand to buy . If brand names and supply house names are a no no here on the board could you email me? claypipe@hughes.net
