If a person was interested in extended gunk holing. It seems this may be a very good plan.
Maybe with twin keels for sitting upright on the mud.

Spent two weeks in the 90's in Libya. What people seem to forget is that 99.999% of any population are just people. They want their kids to grow up and have enough to eat. The Libyan's I met were...

I row my planing fishing boat quite a bit because it is what I have. It is also very very good exercise.

A displacement design with a small motor is fine but anything meant to plane is a pig to...

The dry time on latex varies but is usually well within 24 hours. But the time to full cure can be up to 3 days. I think you got it wet too soon.

I knew an old guy who would take old garden tools he bought at garage sales and stand them in a pipe filled with oil and then resell them. I actually bought one and the wood seemed to have absorbed...

Lew,

You mentioned that the repair is because of 4 or 5 bad tiles. Why not lift your toilet and sink and try to work 4 or 5 good tiles out from under them to replace the bad. Sometimes with a...

Great thread. Thanks,

Thanks Luc,

Been away from the forum for about 6 years (life/opportunity got in the way) but glad to be back especially when a thread of such quality is here.

Howard

Don,

If I recall correctly you have a Dremmell. A diamond tile cutting bit is available that works very well for small diameter cutouts for plumbing and such.

Howard

All the best Ken.

Wear a mask.

Cutting that much cedar, there will be a lot of toxic dust in the air.

I would go with the circular saw myself

Good luck

Warren,

If the spots are small what about injecting epoxy with some sort of syringe.

Howard

Thanks

Again a beautiful boat

Howard

Great boat and excellent execution,

I have been considering similar for the shallow river I boat on.

A couple of questions, how do you find it poles against a current?

Also, does the design...

Medicine Hat, what lake are we talking about here. There aren't that many lakes big enough for a beaut of that size.

See if you can pick up a set of hinges like they use for the ceiling escape hatches on buses.

They open either forward or aft or you can push the whole thing up.

You want him to start out on a win.

The easiest way to ensure this is to build him a kit project.

For instance a toolbox or birdhouse with the difficult cuts done in advance.

A major break is not a green stick.

A green stick usually only happens with very young kids whose bones are still soft. Its like when you bend a green stick. It breaks but still stays...

How much lower than your table saw is it going to be?

Some old growth fir has a really nice red color to it and looks an awful lot like mahogany.

Our old house trim is a combination of mahogany and fir and it is sometimes hard to tell where one ends...

The thing about shaping plywood is that it already has reference lines built into it so that it is really easy to see if your shaping is fair.

Nice post Chad

Shallow all right but noisy too.

The thought of drifting quietly and easily upriver appeals a lot. displacement speeds would be more than needed.

I think I might give it a try.
...

wondering if a 30 to 40 lb. trolling motor would work in a tunnel. Might be just the thing for our shallow river.

Howard

Try raising the motor up an inch to two inches. (Using temporary wedges)

Hopefully without causing it to cavitate.

I found this helped a lot with our boat.

Get your attachment low on the bow. The molded in place attachments are often too high and force the bow down. If that is your situation use a bridle and rig it under the tip of the bow.

How many kids?

If there are enough, you may want to break them down into teams of 6-7 each. If you built say three six hour canoes or some such there would be some competition to keep the...

I think the best way to honor someone of Norm's calibre is to learn from them and to emulate them. Other than a raised glass I don't think Norm would have expected or in fact wanted anything more.
