Title: Stitch & Glue Canoe
Post by: phoenixadhd on October 09, 2013

Ok, So here goes, my youth group are planning to embark on building their very own canoe!

We are planning to build a stitch and glue canoe called 'Cinderella' (I doubt it'll be as pretty though! Any help, advice, or old tools would be greatly appreciated. I will update this thread along with our project!

Wish us luck, I fear we will need it!
