Wood Awnings? Have you ever made them? Looking for ideas.

Bruce,

My daughter has a wooden window awning on her home in Washington State. They got the plan from her husbands Grandpa. It was out of Popular Mechanics back in the 50’s. I know that doesn’t do you any good but here is a link to a couple that I found on the net that might give you some ideas.

hey Bruce i put up a few pictures of the kayaks progress so far. Also, if your interested I have a copy of the “Popular Mechanics Home Handyman Illustrated Encyclopedia and Guide” voulume 1, 1962, that has a section on awnings. I would imagine it is the one mentioned above. let me know if you would like me to devise a way to get you a copy

Bob,
Thanks for the comment. The awnings project is on hold for a whille. BTW, I looked at your kayak progress around 530 this morning. I like the idea of using the laser to align your forms. Good luck with the project and I hope your fiance enjoys it.
