They're not adding wheelies and waggles. The wheelies are the bikes going semi-ballistic at the top of a rise, the riders are trying to get the front wheel back on the tarmac. The waggles are the...

And the swelling of the welfare rolls can be directly attributed to the designated hitter rule.:p

I would imagine that target shooting would be an appeal for some percentage. When I was a kid, I enjoyed shooting at targets and had no particular interest in hunting. Some of the wealthy, who...

He gets to be around cars he could never afford to keep. He likes to drive them, and he's a student of the "art of the deal". Would any of you guys turn down a chance to do the same thing with...

Standing in an 8 (we used to do it when the coach wasn't looking), is a pure act of balance. I have seen experienced single scull rowers push off from the dock into a full handstand. I've also seen...

Only problem I can see with using mule is when you try to remove it, it refuses to budge....:p

You should hear what some of the session guys in Nashville would have to say about that.

Five minutes, one EvilBay search, and I had one of these:

Material is too thin for proper caulking...:D

I wouldn't blame yourself. I can get pretty desperate when I really need to go...:p

Couldn't find a "do all" link, so go to http://www.tg4.ie/en/tg4-player/tg4-player.html, and search for

I believe he meant that the glue would be used to supplement the bolts/rivets in connecting the cleats to the boat.

If you use a scarf with a ratio of at least 8:1, you should still be able to get a fair curve with the joined panels. Over the past year I've done a couple of dozen with an 8:1 and can't find the...

I drive by one of these every day. The size and complexity of it never fails to amaze me.
This particular one looks as if it is about to be loaded into the vertical test stand...

I think you have an engineer or scientist on your hands. As a kid, I was always interesting in how things worked, and never had more than a passing interest in who created them.

What is your source for this opinion? A quick search would have shown you a page on the U.S. Census site that in 1790, only 5.1 percent of the U.S. population lived in urban areas...

In The Marlinspike Sailor, H.G. Smith recommends soaking wood cleats in hot linseed oil. He doesn't mention how long, or how hot. Has anyone done this, and what sort of results did you get? I have...

Many thanks for the information. Recommended blades for general use or resawing with this machine?

I've been limping along with one of the "legendary" Delta 16" (28-560) three-wheel bandsaws (28-560) for the past few years. Its not too awful as long as the stock is rather thin, and the blades...

Top Gear. If someone produced a show as enjoyable as Top Gear, but centered on wooden boats, the frozen snot fleets would sink in place.

Given the choice, I would move the mast step back. The reason being, the daggerboard location is the point about which the boat will pivot when coming about. If you move this point forward, you are...

I am also looking for the correct weight for leathering spars and oars. Can someone give me a range that has worked for them?

many thanks.

Both of my sources for whipping line are on backorder. Does anyone have a source for whipping other than Jamestown Distr. or Defender?

Thanks,

I'm not having much luck with the search or advanced search, so I'm posting this question:
What would you use to protect a white oak centerboard? Oil, paint, red lead? Would heating the oak before...

I have been sailing on the Tennessee River (in a 50 boat regatta) when she passed a mile to windward. You could easily see her wind shadow, because a large ripple of limp sails followed her.

Other than using a fairing batten (which may be hard to hold in place on a completed hull), your eye is your best bet.

Did you split the logs before stacking, or leave them whole?

I have been offered several good sized american holly (Ilex Opaca) trunks when they are cut down later this week. I would like to air dry the wood and use it for trim strips, accent pieces, and...

I could be (and often am) way off, but #3 looks to me like mahogany. I've got a good bit of walnut at home, and the surface grain looks a good bit different.

Anyone have a relocatable Einstein-Rosen bridge I could borrow to get this boat to my house?

Perry hi,
I'm in SE Huntsville. I've got a bit of white oak seasoning behind the shed, if you want to come by and take a look. I had it cut up from a blow-over on some relative's property at H&K...

Make sure that your tools are very sharp, and plan on resharpening them frequently.

This thread is just what I needed to see. I've been going through my shop the last few nights trying to sort through the projects and junk. Sometimes it takes a tough decision to move something...

I'd recommend "The Bounty Mutiny" by William Bligh, Edward Christian, and R. D. Madison, or one of the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O'Brien.

I'm working on some more, solo pipes, but don't have any to post. You are welcome to record or copy the clip so long as you don't sell it (not that you could get much...).
