Next time I'm at the bookstore I'll check it out! Bogs, I agree with you - I love anything to do with wooden boats and boatbuilding. Not that I have anything against more modern materials but my "passion" is for wood... Here, I will be the stimulus for you Bogs - Get your butt in gear and get that canoe seat done. I want to see pictures of it! Another few weeks and the temps will be warm enough for getting back to boatbuilding. I love winter but this seems as if it has dragged on for ever... Andy

ReplyDeleteHi Andy I hate these dam computers tried again to send link not working doh! if you go to msn home page and type in bogsdolics then click on sailing dinghy and you will hopefuly see a picture of the seat hey have you ever typed in your own name to a search engine wow scary!! bogsdolics.
ReplyDeleteBogs, checked out your home page - Very Nice Job, I will check back there often. The seat looks like a fine job, very similar to the one I built, your's looks nicer though . After you suggested it, I did type mine in - very weird experience!!!! Our weather is finally warming up and I have the whole weekend off - hoping to get out in the shop for some boat work... Andy
ReplyDeleteHi Andy thankyou for your kind words, My wifes away this weekend a girls trip to the Island of Colansay of the west coast of Scotland { a lovely Island with one road around it, one shop/post office and one hotel/pub. } So I am baby hitting I mean sitting the boys so no boat work for me ! We have a saying if "March goes in like a lion then out like a lamb" and vice versa and we've had a cold wet windy start so expecting a good end to March. Bogsdolics.
ReplyDeleteWe say the same over here and looks like we are headed for the same result... Hope so anyway. I ended up just looking at the boat instead of actually working on it. It wasn't all in vain as I did start clearing some of the accumulating "junk" out of the garage/shop so that I can at least get at my 16 footer. My wife had to work all weekend so I had some house chores to do also... Don't I sound henpecked!! lol Last night I made dinner and we relaxed in front of the tv. I will justify no hard work on the boat as the weather is still a little too cold to do woodworking in the shop. Another week and we will see... Andy
