Hi Ken,     welcome from the USA! You are going to hear a great deal about documenting your build with pictures on this site and possibly drawings. One thing I had trouble with immediately is posting pictures. There is an earlier post about uploading pictures which will show you a link that will straighten this out for you too. Everyone here is great and helpful above and beyond! Dont be afraid of making mistakes or getting advice in a very blunt fashion. Members dont do this to belittle anyone but educate and make us think (very well meaning lot here!). Once again, welcome and have a great time on this site!

welcome aboard,  Mark is right in that we do enjoy a good build log, but equally questions about how to, and generally anything paddler related.

on the picture front, i use photobucket and simply copy and past the image link into the post.  including the [img] bits each end.

good luck with your stern-wheeler and remember we are all here to share our interest in padlers  :beer
