VFD's for single phase output can get pricey.....if you can find one that is acceptable price-wise, it should accomplish your goal just fine. Lots of folks who restore "old ahrn" lathes, drill...

Part of the quirky charm

Midsomer Murders...worth it for the scenery alone. Kind of off kilter in a fun way, especially the earlier seasons.

Donn wins

Not true....you can get Sherlock Season 2 on Amazon.

Gatlin Lumber in Ft Walton Beach stocks it up to 1/2" and can special order it thicker.

Hmmm...interesting point. Wonder if I should offer to throw the plans in (for reference only during the rebuild). Of course I couldn't increase the asking price cause that would be akin to trying to...

Lol....you just summed up a year and many thousands of dollars in one sentence! Very well done! Of course, it never unfolds quite that simply....(unfortunately!)

Anyone need some lead?

I don't know. Less than scrap value for a 4400 lead keel and almost nothing for an H12.5 project...what do you think? Seriously, I ask that in earnest. I have no issues with giving someone a...

Can anyone suggest online venues specific to New England and the sale of boat stuff? EBay and CL haven't really been up to the task.

Thanks

The Committee may not like this....

Can I gently remind you that this isn't The Bilge?

Thanks for all of the replies so far! Lots of good ideas to consider.

To clarify, I was getting at what Tad surmised - a raked transom with a horizontal radius....plus a transom hung rudder.
...

Agreed.

Now, could you please tell me what the hell you mean? :)

Ok, though just barely....:)

I'm interested in your logic, but your prose is a little sparse to follow.
Whatever impressiveness you ascribe to a curved transom is diluted by the rudder, in my mind.

Care to elaborate on your...

Can anyone offer up an example of a curved, raked transom on a boat that also has a transom hung rudder?

Honestly, I go back and forth on the idea of this combo....sometimes I like it -...

Dang Cajuns!

Looks like a great trip...thanks for sharing! And congrats on the boat!

Hey Steven, did you guys go to the G&B dinner?

If anyone needs an extra ticket (no charge) for Sat night's event, PM me.

I don't mean to come across as minimizing the goodness of the technology, but it does have its limits is all I'm saying.

Lol...point taken.

You know, Paul, you bring up a good point. After the third or fourth activation of the cartridge in the shared shop we had a discussion along those lines.

Now, I won't say woodworkers are cheap,...

Thanks for the comments so far.

I suspected the SawStop would enter into the discussion. I've used one several times at a shared shop. It's a nice saw, no doubt, but we've had issues with "less...

Ok, I know how these types of threads can either educate folks or just pi$$ people off. Sorry in advance, but I'm stuck.

I'm looking to upgrade my table saw. The how's and why's of that I'll save...

Give G&B a call - great folks to deal with! I believe they have a fair amount of lumber on hand to sell. I have no idea as to their competitiveness price-wise.

The members of the uniform board that approved that catastrophe should be......forced to wear it in public themselves.

Squids are easy prey as it is, but that uniform almost makes it too easy...;)

Nope, not yet. Lol

Mere details, easily overcome with a worm drive saw and a good eye.....;)

Lol..you guys are fast! I see my question was answered while I was typing it....

Are the Skils any good?

Steven, yeah, I need to catch that thread up, it's been a busy few months and a lot has happened with the boat. An interesting twist may be in the works though....

Ok, yeah, ha ha ha

But seriously, any brand/model recommendations for a worm drive circular saw? I'd prefer to buy a quality tool once instead of a crappy one multiple times.

Thanks!

Riggs Cove Rentals, Georgetown, ME. More than a shanty boat, less than a houseboat. Attractive design either way. Link to website

Where are folks getting the red lead powder?

And if it's this easy, how is Kirby's getting $250+ per gallon? Just curious

Is that a 50' schooner in the background? It's all becoming so clear now.....lol

Which is too bad, cause I would have been all over it.

Anyone know of one for sale - east or west coast is fine....

I'm not sure that's a ship saw in the true sense

Ok, I thought I had it straight which is which. Then I was perusing Stewart's Boatbuilding Manual to dig a little deeper on a topic raised in Jim Ledger's phenomenal thread and......I lost it. WTH,...

Serendipity....I was just thinking of this thread and Jay's pictures not too long ago.

Jay?

Lol...we can always count on you, Lefty.

Lol...we can always count on you, Lefty.

Steven, I do appreciate your post, my friend, but I'm not sure we HAVE a restaurant supply place...lol

Small town and all...

Yeah, but boy, at 4 bucks apiece compared to 1.50 for the plain Jane.....


I can see the appeal of the plastic handle though.

Thanks, fellas.

Anyone NOT a fan of their use for a specific reason?

I've spent an enjoyable few hours this afternoon reading Jim Ledger's build thread in its entirety, along with all of the offshoot/linked threads - a pleasure that I wish I would have partaken in...

Bingo. The study plans at the WBS are a rebranded copy of the commentary as it appeared in 30/40/50 Wooden Boats. If memory serves, one of the volumes had a short article in the back that addresses...

Wonder what kind of wood......:)

What a great pic!

Lol...who looks at that and thinks "Mmmmm...I'm hungry!"
I just don't get it.

I ate raw oysters once. It was to impress a girl. I decided that even as pretty as she was, it wasn't worth it. I...

Duke from New England Naval Timbers called me back this afternoon. Real nice guy. Assuming the shipping doesn't kill the deal on cost, I think the solution has been found. Will keep you guys posted...
