Martin Rivero.......(simply awsome)

Hi everyone,
Today I recieved a PM from a Spanish guy who saw my work on a Spanish forum.
It was regarding beeing able to export KF files into PDF or CAD.
This is not new and has been an ongoing theme here.
So I gave him a straightforward answer.

In order to find out who he was I went to the forum and saw his post.
The nice thing was what he wrote. I inspired him to build and he thanked me for that.
Oh well that was that, nothing to it.

However he sent me a site where I could see his construction in detail.
THIS GUY IS AWSOME
He is very modest and comes in here and knows us all. He spoke about other building and how good they were.

I asked if I could post his work and if necessary I would help him in translation and give him a hand.
Bottom line...english for him is hard but would like to present himself here some day.
Ahhhh...he allows me to present his work

He has enough material to post here for months.
Im sure it would be one of the best posts ever. I have not doubt.
There is no space for modesty.

It's simple magnificent.
And you know what?
IT'S A KF KAYAK

I did not ask Ross for authorization to play this roll...
As always, (I am confident) he is in favor towards whatever makes us richer in this field.

Ladies and gentlemen, please take a good look at this.

Any comments should be adress to Martin Rivero.
I'm just the messenger (don't shoot me).

Martin,

Awesome build - a very unusual design. I enjoyed watching the entire slideshow. Beautiful wood, great workmanship. At one point, it looked like you had to remove some fiberglass - what happened? Thanks for sharing - can't wait for launch photos of your SOT.

Welcome Martin.
You don't have to be shy.
You will get all the help you can get here.
If you have problems with translating, don't worry.
I will help in my limited knowledge and you can always use the google translator.
Spelling in not that important.
Google translating sometimes turns into a very messy way of understanding...but with a little mental gymanstic we will manage to understand

Google translation:

Bienvenido Martín.
Usted no tiene que ser tímido.
Usted recibirá toda la ayuda que puede obtener aquí.
Si tiene problemas con la traducción, no se preocupe.
Voy a ayudar en mi falta de conocimiento y siempre podrá utilizar el traductor de google.
En que la ortografía no importante.
Traducción de Google a veces se convierte en una muy desordenada forma de entender ... pero con un poco de gymanstica mental lograremos entender

Well, well...Looks like our friend will do just fine.
His english is much better than mine when I started.

I feel so much better.

Thank you for taking that first step dergiva...and who knows?
Others might follow your example.
I sure hope so.
