Thread: Looking for photos of two pointers.

  1. #1

    Default Looking for photos of two pointers.

    I was planning on building an A for simplicity but after looking at some 2 pointers, I'm leaning in that direction. I did a search but I can't find a thread devoted to these. I'm no good at designing and much prefer to copy something I like.

    If you like asymmetrical 2 pointers there is the Lyon and Healy.

    Dick, if you want plans that are already drawn you can take a look at this set from Don's Plans.

    I have a copy of this set of plans in front of me. I purchased them eleven years ago. Maybe some day I will get around to using them.

    There's also a Randy Wood 2-point in the classifieds. I'm sure it's awesome.

    So are Lyon & Healey the inventors of the two point style? Or is there an earlier version than theirs?
