I just received via Inter Library Loan, "Instructions on Building a
Kayak" by H.C. Petersen(spelling?). Wanted to know if anyone has used it
for the basis of a kayak? I only had a few minutes to look through it.
It seems to be fairly vague in some areas, and somewhat confusing. Maybe
it's because the instructions are in Greenlandic, Danish, and English,
and I have a difficult time tracking from page to page.
Is it worth while to see if I can get a copy on the used market?
Also I purchased a hoofknife intending to use it as a substitute for a
crooked knife. It is clumsy and awkward to use. I think I will find
either plans to make one or purchase one from one of the tool stores.
