I want so much to buy or build this bad boy. This company makes some very nice looking benches.

MoMan, Great threads and WOW you did a fantastic job!

Apparently that book is somewhat of a collectable judging from the price. I'll try to pick one up soon. I've always wanted to build a canoe with the ribs instead of just fiberglass/strip style.

Denise, How do you go about building the mold for the traditional frame type canoes?

Denise, all you gotta do is start another one!:d I miss working on them too. That's why I nudged Ryan into building one. Figured it would get me motivated to start one of my own!

This is what I want in my back yard. ...complete with all the stuff in it!....

Thanks Tim. I just can't get wooden boats out of my mind for long. ( of course, it would help if I didn't have pictures of my old boat on my office wall and on my background of my computer), but I...

I mentioned this in my "return thread" but I thought I would share the details. This is what my son Ryan is going to tackle in his shop class:

Donn, A friend of mine just told me about a site he just now put http://www.woodworkingabrasives.com/

I haven't really even checked it out yet, but I told him I would pass this on to the guys on...

Thanks all for the links. This will get me started. Why is it everytime I pick something I really like, it's odd, or different or harder to build?? I guess it's just in my nature.

Dan, I'm really...

I'm looking for info, links, plans, etc. for ribbed cedarstrip canoes. I found a picture of what I'm looking for:

Man, noone mentioned me.....I must not have made much of an impression....

So, what happend to alot of these oldtimers? I know about Norm & Dasboat, but what happend to Chemist, and Roger Stouf?...

I'm in Beloit for a week for work, and was wondering if there are any forumites from up here?

I'll say one thing, I completely underestimated how much I would miss my family!! I've only been away from them for 2 weeks, and I'm having trouble focusing on things!

We're close to getting a...

Man, I'm getting more and more excited about getting down there after your posts about Lake Texoma! I've been down a few weekends now, looking for houses, and I really think I'm going to like the...

Joe- Thanks for all the good info, that's exactly what I'm lookin for!

Venchka-Once I get settled, I'll start plannin for the messabout!

Charlie-It's good to hear from you! I'm still in the...

Well, I got promoted and I'm moving the family out of state. Anyone know anything about the Denison/Sherman Texas area? I've heard that they have a big sailboat regatta every year on lake Texoma....

Unfortunatly, I never did figure out the exact maker of this boat. As far as I can figure, Sears marketed some penn yans back in the late 40's, and we think that is where this one came from. I found...

okay, so I should read the website first! :rolleyes:

37' LOA

Wow again :eek:

Thank-you Paul for the info.

Oh yeah! Man these things are gorgeous!!! :eek:

The one pictured in the WB, what length is that? It looks to be a fairly small boat, but looks can be decieving with such sleek lines.

Kory

Does anyone know how I can get more information on the boat "Spirit 37" on page 70 in WB179? I think it's love at first site.

This is my first post in what seems like forever, but in my limited, but well thought out advice, I recommend Kirby's. Great paint, been in business forever, super nice people, will help you if you...

Shane, you are one of a kind..... smile.gif

This year is a bit different, it's been around 50 to 65 degrees so far, short of a few days. Very nice. Although, that pic is awful pretty.

Donn, I'm touched that you looked up my picture post. Thanks.

Charlie, I just may take you up on that offer! I'd drive up there just to see your collection!

Warren, the thing I think I miss the...

Hey everyone!! Anything new been going on? I painted a couple of doors for a friend the other day in the empty, lonely varnish booth, and the smell of the paint got me thinking about the boat. Man I...

Heh, Ken, I was just waiting for someone to say that... tongue.gif

I really appreciate the warm comments.

I still have 3 1x12x20' clear vertical grain cedar sittin down at the lumberyard...

since the boat sold on ebay and I'm not officially a wooden boat owner any more...

Very mixed feelings at this point. Didn't get what it was worth, but the point was to sell it to fix the...

Thanks guys for the comments. I'm anxiously awaiting the closing of my auction to see if there is a frenzy of bidding.

As for why I'm selling Kevin, It is true that I put alot into it, but with...

I just don't get it. As some of you know by now I'm attempting to sell my little boat. Now I'm not trying to put in a plug for the auction, I'm just curious about how everyone "values" their boat....

Hey everyone. Thanks Norm for posting the ebay link. I've been so busy lately I don't remember when I even checked the board. Anything interesting been happening?

Yes, I'm trying to sell the boat....

I'm not sure if you guys remember me mentioning a while back that we were thinkin of buying an embroidery business. Well, we made the big plunge, got everything moved and set up, and we're up and...

Ish, buy the right one and they are very safe. Provided you use them for their intended purpose, and that is, casual flying in absolutely no weather conditions and no fancy tricks. I've seen people...

Nice! smile.gif

I'm going to have to put in a vote for personal computers. Without these babies, all of us never would have met!!!

Every time I look at old pictures like these, I wish that I had those boats, in that condition, right now!

Thanks for the pics.

Kory

I want to thank all of you for posting. These words are exactly what I was hoping for. The varying viewpoints will give me some things to think about in the next few days.

One thing I didn't...

I usually come to you guys and gals when I have a great day, (like the pics the other day), or when I'm troubled and I need some different perspective. I'm defenitely on a perspective hunt tonight.

Norm, have you been using nero this way in the past, or are you wanting to switch to a system like that?

Here is the reason I ask. When I first got my Dell 4 years ago, it came with nero software...

Jeffery, there is a river system that includes I think 5 damns along it's path. These pictures were taken about 10 miles below Beaver damn just at the tip of table rock lake. The lake(tablerock) is...

Please post some pictures of the outside of the shop for me. My drooling won't be complete till I see the outside too.

Donn, further up toward Beaver Dam is where the trout...

Ron, It's probably the fan motor either on your processor, or your power supply. A new power supply runs about 50 bucks, and a new fan motor for your processor could be found at pretty much any small...

I guess the first thing I should probably do is, go sailing! I've never been, but somehow, I'm sure I'll be hooked the instant we set sail.
