Lovely shear!

Can't see the link on my computor

Hi David: My only real complaint was the guides and guidepost seeming to not hold adjustment after changing the guidpost height. There were some very heavy handed co-workers using the saws and it...

I've worked in shops with lagunas, they were all pretty much junk. I have used the above mentioned 17" Grizzly and it seemed an awsome machine for the price. My own saw is a 20" powermatic i bought...

The website linked says I don't have permission to view the photos!

When you decide that minimum wage is just way too much money to be making.

Many different forums at this website, I look at Nikon and Canon ones mostly. Very helpful folks there, some great photographers sharing knowledge. I am newly back into the game from the film days....

Got it Ian: I am a woodworker, no experience in fiberglass. I have conveyed all these tips to the guys and wish them luck. Glad it is not my dock. I think it was one of those damaged in Fort Bragg...

All good stuff, thanks, I think chipout may not be too much of a concern as he is installing cleats over the holes.

Thank you all again. I will see my pal tomorrow and pass along all tips. The pilot hole sounds logical to me.

Thank you Ian I will pass on your suggestions, makes sense to me, maybe I will go have a look in person tomorrow as I too am puzzeld [sp?]

Hi a friend of mine is trying to drill 5/8ths diameter holes through about one inch thick fiberglass dock surface. He says that he can't and that is is ruining drill bits and has tried cobalt and...

no the discolored spots will still be there only a different shade.

I think I recall tipping lightly with a brush after rolling on the epo fill coat.

But,but,but.....It's pointed on both ends!

I have been a woodworker for 40 years and the only glue failure I have experienced was with gorilla glue. I have never used it again and don't intend to.

No brainer, Caledonia Yawl

My mom would use Mercuerochrome for the minor cuts and scrapes, Merthiolate for the average ones,
and Iodine for the serious ones that didn't call for stitches. As I remember it they stung in the...

I just ordered 2 dust deputys after borrowing one to try out on my sears 6.5hp shop vac. I cleaned the inside of the shop vac and blew out the filter and then hooked it up to a dust deputy and...

I have a Caledonia Yawl that is painted white inside and it is blindingly bright even with dark sunglasses on. I will repaint it some day a darker color and not gloss. I don't think a light colored...

What if your Caledonia turned turtle when you were going downwind with the board up?

When I had my Hobie Cats, I had to drill out several stainless steel pop rivets. I was told to get special bits for drilling stainless from the auto parts store. Regular hss bits were impossible and...

*Driveway* perfect! Y>

I had my batteries for a Makita and Panasonic drill rebuilt by these folks and am pleased with the result. They claim their rebuilt ones will be superior in power and lasting charge time and so far I...

Well, I think it would fit nicely just below the bilge. It could be called "Davey Jones Locker":arg

One inch I.D. copper pipe cap?

Sorry no pictures. I sailed on the Q.E. 1 from New York to Liverpool. The bay of pigs happened as we were halfway across. After 4 days I was still getting lost. Is was off season and there were about...

I watched the film today right from this forum and clicked on full screen. The picture quality was amazing good! Thank You.

I had 3 Hobie 18s in the past and with an aftermarket twisted shackle I could mostly always get the lock released. I would not want one on my lugsail if I wanted to drop sail in a hurry.

Thanks, I will opt for the water level then.

Hi: I am starting a small lapstrake boat and one of the first things that concerns me is leveling the building frame. I am trying to decide between making a water level or buying a laser chalkline...

I just bought boat plans from duckworks and I see on their website that the oarlocks they sell are American made and machined to a very close tolerance. When it comes time for me to buy mine I will...

A recently released DVD documentary titled The Cave of Forgotten Dreams has as a bonus feature the making of the music for the film. Composed by Dutch cellist Ernst Reisjseger. The bonus is longer...

The title of this thread is tautology to me, i don't go here much. There is enough hate up above and down here to fill the seven seas.

Is the Schoonersrus guy back?

Damn right, ok to sell them if you have not built from them. I have a set for a Caledonia Yawl I have not used and would love to sell them too. Good luck, half price seems fair enough.|:)

Thanks Andykane: This is just what I am wanting, ease of re-finishing and decent good looks. Painted bilge sounds like a good idea. I may even at my wifes suggestion paint the floorboards for more...

I am getting ready to start a sapele ply lapstrake row/sail boat and am seeking opinions on using an oil varnish mix for the interior. I don't mind a workboat look and it may sound premature to...

I see that the Lincolnville Salmon Wherry is 5" deeper and 5" wider than the Duck Trap. I am going to build mine to 16 ft long. I agree with James about the ridiculous ketch rig on the nfts. I have a...

James, Buoyancy tanks sound like a good idea, so now that I have commited to the LSW why do you prefer the duck trap over it?
I got a new camera in October and will start a build...

OK this thread got me to order the plans for the Lincolnville Salmon Wherry yesterday. I have had the Sapele 3/8ths plywood for a Caledonia Yawl I'm not going to build so I intend to use it for the...

|:)You should re-read posts 4 and 5. Decals are not vinyl.

Before buying anything sold by Laguna try google for customer service issues.

Look great I like the last photo best. How does the acrylic enamel work out for you as a coating?

Here they are. http://rwrope.com/traditional-rigging/blocks/tufnol-blocks.html

Hey! Wait! I saw it first. 5 years ago

What's the hurry?

So do the Mexicans just put the money under a rock for the border patrol to pick up later?

If my whole life flashes before my eyes when I die I wonder if I will see 40 years of stuff I have demolished with my Vaughan?

I've used Unibond 800 for several vacuum veneer jobs over the last ten years and find it easy to mix, easy to apply and best of all no creep like I have gotten with titebond.
