I'm at the classic yacht regatta in Cannes. I took Fliptail along this morning and Nigel Pert took a load of pics which he has put on his blog.

Using a table saw can mean trying to move a 10' stick along, so you need someone to support the other end. You can invert the problem, make up a box, clamp the stick in place, and use a handheld circular saw instead. The more accurate you need to be, the more care you need to put into the box. Given my very mediocre woodworking skills, I got a pretty good result. Pictures etc here

So the Loire River Raid came off pretty well. We scored some crazy nice 5mm Joubert ply at a local sawmill sold as a no-name remnant or surplus, and some 6 meter pine boards and built two very nice Michael Storer Quick Canoes over 6 days and then paddled them down the Loire for six days. Today everybody is back at my place, sunburned and tired but happy with the trip. Everybody took a bunch of photos and I am sure that there will be some published in DW here pretty soon. Lovely river and great time building with Michael and the bunch in my barn.
Tomorrow we are heading up to Orleans for the Loire River Festival.
