Good call, I think! Looking good.

Not if you're on this forum.

Well, there's cedar and then there's cedar. Red vs. white, etc. So to say one might line a closet with "cedar" versus building a boat with "cedar" would be much like comparing apples to end tables....

Snork!

I give you ... the "Rastapoon".

After all that work, and how lovely the finished product is - I wouldn't want to walk on it! Shoes off everyone! Socks only!

I used to subscribe to BYB but I don't anymore. I occasionally get these e-mail notifications because I'm a former subscriber and they're trying to lure me back. So I don't know what the asking price...

Reminds me of the line in the original Star Wars movie when Princess Leia first lays eyes on the Millennium Falcon. She turns to Han Solo and says "You came in that thing? You're braver than I...

Very nice indeed!

I have plans (entirely in my head) to make something very similar for the little storage area above the dinette in my 1968 Pearson. That space currently is closed by two sliding...

Yeah, I had sorta thought about going, but I had too many other things to do this weekend. I used to go every year, but after a while, I realized I rarely bought anything at all, because there really...

Good luck with all of that.

I have been looking at houses up in Mathews, Gloucester, Middlesex and the Northern Neck for the past three months, to find a small place for my mother to live.

Well in any case, she's certainly an extremely lovely yacht!

Eddie -

Which day do you plan on attending? I might be able to squeeze in a visit.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and take a guess that it might well do the job. I've used 1/2" conduit to build lumber racks and I've found that a 16" length can hold an almost astonishing amount of...

I have used a hand-held metal punch to poke holes in bandsaw blades and other bits of similarly hardened steel. Another alternative is to buy a cobalt drill bit - but be careful, they're brittle and...

No brakes on that trailer?

Man, that is going to be one drop-dead gorgeous boat. Sir Mix-A-Lot would approve, I'm sure.

Go nuts and install a Voith-Schneider cycloidal propeller! :D

It certainly looks like a case of meth mouth.

Revising this thread -

OK, it's not a sailboat, but it's ugly as sh*t.

Serously - I would have blistered the paint off the walls with what would have come flying out of my piehole had I done that.

Sweetness itself!

Hey, polytarp and duct tape are pretty cheap.

I love this pic! Very New England-looking. Sweet shot.

Let me assure you it only gets worse as you get older.

Except for the part about making it "to the South Pacific," perhaps.

I'm developing a theory that he has a very special and particular breed of masochism.

Just stumbled across this:

Someone else please get it and save my marriage.

Man, at this rate, we'll be seeing splash photos, what, about Thanksgiving time? :D

Neither one ... the aerial photos are not taken at the same time as the street view...

The 55 is considerably more fiddly to get properly setup than the 45, although both can be fiddly. IMHO, the absolutely most important single factor is getting the cutter SHARP - truly sharp. Then...

It's worth whatever you can get someone to give you for it. Best way I have found to find out what the "market value" is of something like that is to put it up on eBay and see what you get. Set a...

Hehehe! Chuckle... guffaw.... Snork!

Urgh. I think the prop I have is made for a shaft size of either 3/4" or 7/8". I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure it's not 1".

The razee refers to the lowered area on the rear half of the plane. It's a general term used to describe that style of plane. I've seen a couple theories as to the origin of the term but the one that...

It appeared to me that it was not sped up - looked like real time speed.

I highly recommend the book "Restoring, Tuning and Using Classic Woodworking Tools" by Michael Dunbar. It is no longer in print, but you can find used copies on eBay and on www.half.com. It does a...

So when was the last time before this that someone built a Hooper Island draketail? Any idea? I'm thinking it's quite an uncommon boat.

Erm... except full-blown Photoshop costs several hundred dollars, and I wouldn't characterize it as the "easiest" way to resize a photo. There are plenty of free, very simple photo editors out there...

What's the shaft size?

I have a 2-blade prop that as I recall is 13 x 8 that used to be on my 30-foot Pearson sailboat, driven by an Atomic 4. I'd sell it to you cheap, as I no longer need it.

She does look like a floating needle out there in the water - surprisingly narrow beam! But she also appears to be slippery as an eel - she certainly squirted right outta there at only idle speeds.
...

Hey, don't you have that thing done and back in the water yet? What's taking you so long?

:D

Yeah, let's wait until it's about 22 degrees F so we can stand around with our hands jammed in our pockets, shivering. Just like last time! wheeee!!

But seriously, I'd be up for another gathering...

A little more inspiration for you, courtesy of our benefactors - for some reason, the forum won't let me post the photo - seems Java script isn't working right.

Anyhow, here is a link to the pic...
