| Two model kits are
currently offered: the original
McKenzie River double-ender, and the
original McKenzie River double-ender
with a transom. These are scaled
(1"
to the foot in scale) models of the first iterations as they first appeared in 1938 and 1948
respectively. The kit material is Mahogany and basswood and is milled to
scale. 1" to the foot. Roger handcrafts oars for each model using a
technique similar to that used by the original builders. He also fashions
the stem and stern posts, the transom, and he bevels the chine log. Oarlocks
and a glass stand are included. No special tools are required for the
project. Most homes include most of the needed tools (e'g' clothes pins for
clamps, sandpaper, X-acto knife, ruler and straight edge, etc). The
instruction book leads the modeler step by step through the process in a
manner similar to the protocol used by the boat builder. The modeling
technique is therefore a great teaching tool for the wannabe builder and is
a great confidence builder is you are interested in building the boat full
size. |
