JacquesN Posted May 13, 2024 #1 Posted May 13, 2024 Greetings. My neighbour thought to do me a favor and handed me a box with what looks like a complete kit to make a wooden Maine Peapod. Unfortunately, the how-to manual is missing. I probably can go a long way with the parts drawing, the pictures on the side of the box. Found a very enlightening step by step explanation by robert952. But even he refers to the manual occasionally. I looked on Ebay etc. and found several kits but they all appear without manual. So my question is, is there anyone who can copy a manual for the Midwest Products Maine Peapod kit #977. Thank you in advance. Jacques Nederpelt Scottish Guy, mtaylor and Keith Black 3
rob444b Posted May 13, 2024 #2 Posted May 13, 2024 This is a great way to start learning how to build wooden ships. If you need I can scan the manual and send it to you as a PDF Rob Scottish Guy, Keith Black and mtaylor 3

robert952 Posted May 14, 2024 #5 Posted May 14, 2024 Give me a day or two and I will scan my copy to pdf and send it to you via PM. Welcome to MSW. I look forward to your build log on this. (I hope to get back to my build. I am about as 'moved in' as I can get and am freeing up time for hobby stuff.)
