Amazing, the **** you can learn here.

Maybe they ought to ban clorox boats from the marinas :rolleyes:

Are these the new docks next to the public ramp?

I thought he'd moved on to other, loftier interests like their HOPE magazine, whatever that was.

Pretty big Oops :rolleyes:

The Center for Wooden Boats' Bob Perkins is their CEO or some such title. Nice guy. I wish I'd not missed the show. :(

A boat may not always be furnature, but a cradle is. But my bet is that the mom will weep at the thoughtfullness of the thing and not care about any obvious "character."

Perhaps it makes some sense on large vessels?
The potential for a slip-up and disaster makes me wonder why bother when the usual way is so simple.

Summer Camp for adults :D
Neat place isn't it? :cool:

As I understand it, the paint or varnish will tend to be rather thinner at the sharp edge. (surface tension?) Knocking the edge down with sandpaper ought to be enough.

I can not imagine what you're doing.
Why would you put a shaft in the gudgeon? Doesn't the pin part of the pintle fit into the hole part of the gudgeon?
Yah, a picture would be handy.

My 2 cents,
I'd think it's at least partly, if not mostly aesthetic. You want to see a nice sweet sweep to the shadow line as the plank laps die away into the stem. :cool:

Thank God for standardized spelling!

Them's carpenter ants son. Call Terminix or you preferred bug zappers. They don't eat your house like termites they just chew it up for a place to live. still lots of potential damage.

Joe, have...

Thanks Ed.
We couldn't get there this year. We're getting me untangled from AT&T and retired.

True enough, but as everyone knows, cheap tools are too expensive. :(

Lee Valley & Veritas catalog prices:

Rabbet Planes

Veritas® Chisel Plane $ 29.50
Holds a chisel to do the work. Clever idea.

I "retire" in 17 days (31 July) from AT&T w/ a modest pension & Social Security. SWMBO and I are going to live in Port Townsend, Washington for six months while I get to go to Northwest School of...

Your board probably isn't supposed to be a piston fit in the case so, yah, what Banjo said - build up the board in the area around the pin for a nicer fit. Or you could run the case through your saw...

Bob,
Did you read the question? A truckload of iron was what he wanted to avoid :rolleyes:
All he asked about was a rabbiting plane and any smallish one, like your Stanley 90s, will make his...

A mast has two loads: beam and a compression.
I'm guessing the major loading is beam.
The wood's function there is to keep the carbon tows apart, like the web in an I-beam. The flanges - the...

Sorry, Kathy :(

Theory is nice if you're taking a physics test, but if you want to know, real world, how, what, where, and whatnot, I'd get in touch w/ the Bros. Gougeon. I think they've been there and done that....

The Scholastic philosophers had nothing on you guys :rolleyes:

Did anyone mention keeping your hand, elbow, and shoulder inline with the cut?

I've heard of using Formica,tm, to line the case - slippery, waterproof (resistant?). And it needs no finishing ;)

I once heard a WWI V8(?) Liberty aeroplane motor in a modern runabout. The exhaust pipes looked to be the size of soccer balls and the noise would have awakened the dead, but ah the music :cool: ...

MG TC & MG Midget.
Both absolute junk of course, but fun to drive (if you can keep them running :rolleyes: ) and great looking.
Rather like that high maintenance girlfriend you can't forget but...

Rather than build a kit-boat, find a builder, Venice ought to have a few :rolleyes: , and persuade one to help you learn how to construct the boat you really want. I'd think the whole process, the...

Roger, yer pretty good at this stuff.
Maybe you could make a living at it? :D

VenetianGuy,
There IS a magic box with just the boat you want in it - a boat dealer. You give them your money and out comes a boat.
I'd have supposed that there is no lack of available boats in...

If you get to the point that you want to re-do it w/ epoxy/glass, get the poly/glass off it. It ought to come off easily :rolleyes:
Another layer of ply, glass-n-googe is weight where you don't...

I'd have thought that most of the load on a sprit is compression. How did this one fail?

Try the box fan, duct tap, and a couple of furnace filters taped to the inlet side - cheap one outside, expensive allergy sort next to the fan's grate. Worst case, you've got a new fan for those hot...

Her like will not pass this way any time soon, I'm thinking.
Our loss is sad, but oh what a ride it was. :cool:

Kit-boat and "Traditional" are not the same kinds of things even if both are wood.

It's a girl! Congratulations smile.gif

It looked like a rather round-about system to me. And all those unventilated chambers looked like a good place for rot to start. :rolleyes:

Someplace I heard that they aren't an ideal way to keep the dust out of your lungs.
You could always make one w/ a box fan and a furnace filter or two.
Ideally you'd collect all, or most, of the...

Thanks, Jim.
Neat reference. I'm sorry I took so long to answer. I've been off work - my usual hangout.
Yes, that's about the iron's size.

Sliding riggers don't necessarily have to be forward facing.
And if a chop get to be too much, don't move your feet - easier to do than keeping the seat in place, perhaps.

This will never get settled.
I note that WB isn't named
"Traditional WoodenBoat, AD1500-ish to 1965."
If'n it bothers you, but doesn't frighten the horses, don't look.

Does anyone know if a Sargent 407 is the equivalant of a Stanley #3 or #4 smoother?
