That may be a lifetime supply for a clog maker.

Yup.

I carved a big salad bowl from some poplar, which is almost identical.

I don't have the time for a watch (or a cell phone or a TV or any of those "I" things). I do have a landline, and a new desktop, plus a VHF and a GPS.

What could be more silly than a thread that is a derivative of 3 silly threads?

Is there a local species you can use? I don't know zip about Aussy wood species. I wonder how long they would need to be.

Veneers as thin as 1/8 won't present a problem with cupping if they are...

When I was producing and marketing WRC veneers I bought #2 clear and better cants (beams) from a Weyerhauser mill over on Vancouver Island and resawed them to a heavy 1/8 on a Woodmiser with a thin...

If you get as good at bow making as you are at boatbuilding look out deer!

Here is all you need to know to make first class bows. Get all three volumes.

At this point if the planks swell something will have to give so it will have to be stored dry at the end of each day. It will help a lot if all of the planking is very well sealed, inside and out....

No hate James, but I expect that anyone who would make a student stand on a ladder to use a block plane would be a bit too arrogant and pretentious for me. I've been around guys like that and find...

I don't think I would like associating with this guy at all.

Just drill with the pointy end of a finish nail. It won't remove any material to speak of but it will provide excellent guidance for the ring nail. The wood on the sides of the hole will be...

Things don't last long here, call now if you want it.

And if there's enough sheer the apron will be wide enough at mid-length to accommodate at least one set of drawers, port and starboard.

If the boat is longer than the table it can be decked fore...

Sounds to me like you need to go down there and stay with family for a short while and look around at what's available. I wouldn't be satisfied without a shop.

I wouldn't call it appealing, but I keep a gun around for dispatching injured or sick wildlife. I was glad that I had it when my dog of 15 years was suddenly suffering badly and irreversibly. I don't...

I've suggested this several times here on the forum for people who needed work who were looking for a product to build and market, sorry to see that it's being done in plastic first. That unit is way...

Everything Canoez said, plus....

If you're sawing edge grained strips from flat grain lumber you can use a finger joint cutter in your router to join the shorter full width boards to length....

Since you probably will be bringing a lot of personal belongings to Fla. perhaps it will work for you to rent a bigger truck that will hold those belongings and tow the catboat at the same time. That...

It may have been condensation.

I would just varnish or paint the inside, I don't think the glass would be an improvement. You'd have an awful time glassing with all of that framing in the way...

Thanks you guys.

What I'm looking for is the industry standard. I want to meet or exceed what the competition is doing, so the more replies I get from people who have purchased their strips the...

So;

a/A does it!

Thank you.

Since I have access to the cedar and could use a bit of an increase to my income I am considering producing and marketing bead and cove red cedar strips. I have a few questions for anyone who has...

I expect that it will go much faster with a 15 because it will plane. Looks like you'll need a long or extra long shaft. If you have a hard time getting it up (on the plane) try getting a set of...

Not looking for an argument, but I don't think any of those three methods, or all three combined, will work as well as covering the cracks with added thickness. Screws from the top will have to be...

How would it look if you applied another layer of 3/8 from the deck line to a ways above the top of the scupper for most of the length of the iroko? You may be able to fashion it so that it looks...

1" bolts through a 3" sprit sounds like overkill resulting in weak spots. Did it break at a bolt hole? How long was the sprit? Where are you? If you want to post images upload them to Flickr. On...

I'm pretty sure that at one time Wood-Mizer kept a list just for people in your situation. It can't hurt to ask. http://www.woodmizer.ca/CustomerService/ProSawyerNetwork.aspx

I guess the images are gone because I had them on Flickr and it was getting too full so I deleted them.

I guess it depends on what size scraps you have. Bat houses are small, are they not? There are lots of plans for bird and bat houses online. Go for plans published by State agencies or use plans from...

It took a few hours to prepare the kits. The kids are worth it, and they learn how to behave by example.

It will never get wet? Almost anything, keep it light. You're in Mass., how about some aromatic cedar? You may be able to find some at a local sawmill, it won't take much. The only other really light...

No pics, sorry. I just got a new camera and haven't figured out how to use it yet. Lots of little nearly invisible icons and way too many options, but it will hold 5000+ images or 480 minutes of...

Just got back from the elementary school where we assembled 30 bird houses that I had prefabricated, including drilled holes for hot galvy box nails. 5th graders are the best. They haven't started to...

I see that hull with a lightweight cabin, a pair of extra long shaft outboards in wells long enough that they can be tilted up and with a self draining cockpit. It would be easy to build and...

Certainly not my area of expertise but it seems to me that it will be a lot easier to clamp each plank into place if one edge is exposed. For that reason I would start at the garboard and finish at...

here are a couple of threads that will help you; http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?132058-Stretchers&highlight=foot+stretchers / ...

When I first read the original post I thought, "Here's another dreamer who has no comprehension at all of boatbuilding design or techniques." Then, when someone brought up the possibility of this...

Uh Uh Lefty, Gib has it right. 2" isn't going to sag over 3 or 4 feet, and fewer stickers allows for better ventilation. 12' to 16" would be good in a kiln though, and whatever the spacing they...

I would love to have a nice stash of long clear ash. If that log were mine I'd paint both ends with oil based paint, two coats minimum, peel the bark off so it won't be there to harbor bugs, then...

I'd call them the stem knee and transom framing. The side "shell" would be the side planking, same for the bottom. The seats are called seats or thwarts, the longitudinal members they sit on are...

Just another thought;

You could clamp your piece to the tablesaw fence then repeatedly raise an 8" blade or dado under it. No, that wouldn't work, you'd need to use a 9" then cut the MDO to fit...

Good one Jay.

If one prefered the laminated look (accent strip, no cross grain, whatever) and wanted to use the router it would be much safer to laminate the blank then glue a big chunk to the...

Since you're not well acquainted with routers, router bits and router techniques there's considerable potential for loss of human tissue. Really, especially with a small piece like that. Routered...

I'd try teak oil and fine bronze wool.
