Pick up the dimensions for the body plan from the lines you have already drawn. This gives you further opportunity to check if the lines are actually fair. If one of the curves has a kink in the...

Sure looks like a Nordic Folkboat

Sounds like a bad capacitor.

Take the cap to Hamilton Electric on Airport Blvd. They will test it and sell you a new one if needed

16 foot boards aren't long enough for full length planks for an 18 foot boat in one piece so you are going to have to scarf the planks to get the...

Lot #240 Ladies Gig "Mary" is a nice boat. All Spanish Cedar planking. Not as light as she could be but still rows nicely.

The boat in the photo appears to be from the Åfjords region. It looks like it has a transom stern which is not what you usually see. The Apprenticeshop built an Åfjords Lestabåt when the shop was...

There were very few "high end vacation homes" in that map posted by bluedog. Or at least that was the case in the past. Maybe AirBnB is changing that.

About a quarter of that map is the...

Quite an accomplishment.

Joop Zoetemelk is another rider who rode the tour at an "advanced" age. I think he was 41 years old the last time he rode the tour.

I didn't realize that there is a tie in to the boating world, the Wickipedia article says that Starling Burgess was involved in the Dymaxion car project.

Ok, so the part about "consistent with this Nation's historical tradition' is referring to how things were at the time the Constitution was written, is that right?

What about regulations...

It sure looks like the wood (and metal) in the sills is gone. I bet when you got in to it that you would find lots more rot.

If you want irony, read the caption for this image on the photographers site to learn that the guy in the photo is the pastor at that church in the background. Is this Christian ethics?

This is on the gravel road that is in front of my property. One of the more vibrantly colored copperheads that I have seen. Really beautiful. Some have full bands like this one and others...

One of the amazing things about ratsnakes is how well they climb. They will go straight up a tree. They can also grow to be very long.

Many ratsnakes that I see in rural Bastrop county are...

Doesn't look like a copperhead. I think the color is wrong but there is lots of variety in coloration. The pattern is wrong though.

Maybe a hognose. They have a very characteristic behavior...

The stuff about the road structure in that book should be applicable in any area. You'll probably have to adjust for locally available materials.

A 27.5 x 2.35 tube instead of a 2.4-3.0 tube will be fine. It will be a far better spare than no tube at all. In my opinion, the durability difference will be pretty small. Then again, I ran 23mm...

Sunlite is a decent brand.

Oh, man, you shouldn't tempt the fates by mentioning the f-word.

My team support vehicle went missing years ago so I carry 2 spare tubes. The tubes may have 4 or 5 patches but I test that they...

Can you give a brief description or link to info on your hot water setup?

Thanks!

I have a gravel bike too so the pure road bike stays pretty clean.

Yes, lots of sun here in Centex. The heat works against you though as the panel output drops as the temp increases.

It is very likely that PVWatts is the tool used by most installers so you can...

You might try modeling the system. I believe that the PVWatts calculator offers the option of hourly output estimates:

It sure looks like it will.

What it is the material? Maybe it is mesquite that has almost the same radial, tangential, and linear shrinkage and that would allow it to work. Not sure I've seen...

Unfortunately, the meaning of terms used in boat building is not at all standardized. The same word can and often does have very different meaning in different places.

I agree with what you are...

Hi Ben!

I think there are 2 different bead profiles on your Åfjords faering. I still have the planes that I used when I built that boat. There is a single bead used on the plank edges. The hood...
