Great update.Good to see you got the picture issue under control.

Looks like a good start Chas231.looking forward to seeing more.

Why is it that red oak isn't used?I need this knowledge so I can save on future issues.Is it a water = rot issue?

Y>Y:o

My local mobile saw mill is cutting all my wood.This way I can get the 32 foot lengths I need without scarfing.All wood will be white or red oak.Hopefully the only store bought wood will be the...

It's about time for spring thaw up there,ain't it?Splashing in will surely be an interesting one this year.I am still diggin Nat's window coverings.From the pics, as they show on my PC,they make the...

You have my condolences.

Thanks.I am going to catch up on that your thread.Drastic transition from M/V to S/V.Can't wait to see what you've done.

Can you post a link to your new thread?I think I have missed it.Thanks.

Well that's just sh!tty.

Thank you for rescuing Saltiguy's boat.

Glad to hear the driver was OK.

Whaddya do to knotty?That boat tain't gonna build itself.:p

That is a serious renovation.My hats off to you for taking on that project.Makes my mobile home rehabs seem like child's play.

Master wood butcher.That is really clever design work.

Beautiful.

They are purrrrrrdy,but I agree.I don't see the advantage but I may have missed something.

More tool shots along with boat shots please. Y>Y>

Photobucket has been taken over and seems to be better than it was.I'm not sure what the limit is there,I got an unlimited account.Smugmug is the best but is a pay to play site.Happy Festivus.

Looking good.That bronze polished up nicely.

BTW,that a sweet little drill press.Love older tools.

Steve's a wild looking fellow that appears to have laid out all night with a punk band and hit the medicine bottle a little to hard.Y:o

More physical therapy.I am hoping I will improve by spring.

Word of caution.Read side affects of drugs and use with caution.

Blue Marple chisels and a round wood hammer style mallet is how I learned to do them.I like your set.

Are you using a router and jig on the dovetails?i was taught to do it with a back saw and chisel.I was surprised how well I could get the fitment after a few tries.

That is beautiful.I've always want to learn woodworking,especially high end furniture.

Oh yeah.I know about this.I don't think they will use the motor except when loaded and island hopping.



LMAO!



I am looking into these.We are going to regroup after the holidays and try...

On my way to the doctor last week.

Thanks all.

I am looking at plans and keeping all this in mind.I will be rereading all of this and making notes.

I don't know.I am trying to get some ideas together for him and estimated costs.He has been known to spend on projects that he will actually use and enjoy.If he has doubts,he will tighten the purse...

Both good points.To bad I couldn't do it carbon fiber,vacuum bag it, then put in an autoclave to cue under vacuum.Extra light and extra strong. :d

Good info guys,thanks.I have a better understanding now.I didn't mention the area they frequent.They normally go out in upstate SC,western NC,northern GA,and eastern TN.Kind of a quad state...

:o I forgot about those.I am so outta touch with small boats.


What is the difference between a square stern and a freighter canoe?I know a square stern is a canoe with a transom and fairly wide...

How would an out board be mounted to that canoe,if it's possible?

I have a friend that has been very busy.The only down time he gets is a two week vacation a year.During that time,he and his wife get away in the deep woods.This sometimes requires renting canoe(s)...

Oh darn.If you have a local saw mill,you could have possibly built a bow shed for around 2/3 of that.It would have lasted longer if you experience delays in building.

Dave6162, please keep us updated on your build in your thread and post a link here also please.

Have you read Mark's website?It's not possible to build the hull in sections.You can build the hull,then move it out,and build the superstructure for the cabin.

It appears that Mark has taken down...

And they paddle away in style.


Peter,you should seriously consider writing ebooks as a hobby.You've entertained us boaty bums for years while build a lovely boat.It could be a good source of...

It was time anyway.LOL



I wish.I am currently having some health issues and I can't drink the sweet nectar of the goddess Merry Merlot.:(

All sealed up and no tyvek. Y> Time for work.I did a lot of work yesterday.The thinking kind.I just sat in the building staring at my project and worked my but off. |;)

Congrats on the splash in.She looks mighty fine floating out there.Stupid bridge.You had two cranes there to aide in setting the mast without straining yourself.

I've killed a half dozen of those disease carrying critters this year.They carry some nasty and deadly diseases.

I agree with Peter.Thanks.

Good to hear all is well up there, Peter.Everything here is getting back to normal.We live on a hill with few trees tall enough to act as a natural wind break.Fortunately the highest gust we saw was...

I am quite concerned.There was a lot of flooding and wind his way.I hope he was inland far enough to keep away from the water.

Hey Peter,how are you guys fairing up there.That storm appears to be headed your way with vengeance.TB on the hard,yet?Be safe my friend,be safe.

Thanks Peter. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy106.gif

Happy birthday Peter.I'm a little late to the game.Sorry bout that.

Heart breaking,absolutely heart breaking.At least it was only glass.Easy repair compared to what it could have been.

I hope you can work something out.No one should have to put up with being assaulted in their home.Here,that would be an instant arrest for breaking and entering,trespass,and assault.If he had the...
