Exactly. You don't want to be in the same room with any silicone when refinishing anything. IMO

I really like reading about this stuff. A boat has to have a story.

Shopbot is staying. I have had him flatten some slabs for me. He doesn't know what to do with the Tormach, nor do I. Any ideas?

Thanks. I am afraid my friend has taken a shine to the shopbots. The Tormach is just sitting there collecting dust.

I have a friend who is a shop teacher at a local high school. He inherited 2 Shopbot CNC machines and a Tormach pcnc 1000 metal cnc. I am asking any machinist inclined boat people what could be...

So the white areas are a reflection and not colored? If possible you could mix some powder pigment with the varnish and fill the scratches with it. It might just come out if the grooves aren't deep...

Looking forward to following your build. If I remember correctly, the famous Ted Wells is from around there.

This is turning out to a really good looking boat. Good work.

Especially useful if your arthritis makes card scrapers too painful.

Is there a Liberty Hardwoods or Intermountain Wood Products in KC? We have both in Omaha and they carry mahogany and the Liberty carries cypress for about 3-3.50 bf. There is also a Liberty...

Well....there's that....Ha!

Rabbits.....

That is a fine looking boat!

So...red oak soaked in Bora-care. I could learn to like that. Got access to red oak for days and a gallon of Bora-care concentrate. Interior framing, seats and stuff. Mind blown.

I have a Jet wet grinder. Tormek knockoff. I just put a diamond wheel on it and it has cut my hollow grinding time on my chisels and plane blades 10-20 fold. When the plane blades are sharp, you can...

Haven 12.5. Cold molded with 1/8 " cypress, 2 layers at a 45, then 3/16ths mahogany with flute and bead edging. Going to use all 22 frames. Laminated white oak keel and stem. Probably going to go...

Excellent story and the project is continuing a tradition. Bravo. My only experience is restoring a 16 foot wooden row boat, carvel planked with 7/8" cedar that was nail set. It had been glassed...

That is fucking brilliant......like the kids say.

Excellent advise.

Great looking boat! I am impressed with your set up and your selection of wood and grain orientation. I am just starting my first build and your documentation is providing a lot of inspiration.

Reddit and twitter could make the neighbor famous. Hopefully it won't come to that.

Exactly. Thank you for the link.

Looks realiy good. I am new here and really appreciate your posting. Hope to be posting pics of my project soon.

I love watching this project.

Pretty effing cool!

I am new here and with this project.....I can't even.

As the kids say, "nature is metal as fuck".

I love Epifanes. Full disclosure, I have only restored one wooden boat. It took 7 years, so I re-refinished many parts of the boat with just a clearcoat(bright). I liked the way you could sand the...

This is impressive. I hope to have your success.

Exactly.

That is a handsome boat!

Nice.

That's a handsome looking dog!

I am jealous. They sure want a lot for the William and Hussey units now.

In my experience, it takes just a few tools to make a piece of furniture. It takes all the tools to repair it.

That is not an original idea.....would if I could.

Honestly, this project is why I am going to build my sailboat.

I want to thank all those who responded to my idea. I have come to the conclusion that while there may be some merit to the concept, it's pretty effing stupid. I my shop I have a big box where I keep...

It's a great saw. I take mine to the local sharpening place. East peasy. There are companies that make blades that are compatible. Look on Amazon. I also found the Makita track guide, the plastic...

That is effing beautiful! Just saying.

Just emailed them. Lets see what they say.

Love the way you think.

My idea is to make thin, stable, sturdy, planking material that would be butt jointed, 2 1/2 inches or 3 inches wide. If possible.

My source has been Veneer suppliers. I am guessing it's 1/32.

But all my clamps?!!

I have another question for you. My previous experience has been restoring a 15' strip planked skiff that was edge nailed. Circa late 50's-early 60's.

After scarfing the missing and rotted ...

If drysailing is the same as trailering after each time it is in the water, than yes.

Flax fiber is new to me. Had to google it. So uo have had luck with a material product between the wooden planks?

What's your opinion of using titebond 3?
