Lost legal battle

Subject: legal

I'm sorry to say I lost the battle with my Boro. Per a court order I will be cutting up my 1950 42' DCFB Chris Craft starting today. It must be gone by friday Feb 2, 2007 or I will be fined $7,000.00 AND jailed for 30 days.

It leaves me no choice. I will be parting out the boat which is intact at present. If there is something in hardware or wood sections you need (IE doors, seats, panels, metal parts) let me know.

I will put the remainder on EBAY on Wednesday.

God how I hate sending this...................

Cleaning the garage...

The Saga continues - We have been having moderate temps with flurries now and then - an inch or so of snow today and now the artic blast is settling in  here in the upper midwest.  My sympathies go out to all of you in the northeast.  You got what we had a couple of years ago.  Our high is predicted at 0-minus 5 for this pm with winds around 25 mph.  So wind chills should be around minus 25.

 

But the bug is biting me and I have a sailboat to finish!  So today I will turn on the heater and continue to compress "stuff" so that I can work around the boat.  I am hoping to snap some pictures soon to add to my album...

 

Best wishes for everyone to have a good weekend.

Bronze Hardware Catalog

For any interested parties, Bristol Bronze

 

http://www.bristolbronze.com/products.htm

 

at my request, mailed me their most current catalog.  You will see from the website that the last pricelist shown is from 2005, and while the on-line pdf.s and prices are nice, I am a hands-on kind of guy who drags catalogs along on lunch breaks and also likes to keep them handy out in the garage/shop to reference when I get a bug up my butt.

 

They sent an additional page of items which they are going to start manufacturing or have been made/developed since the last publication.

New Canoe Building Plans: Sasquatch II

Greetings builders!

We've taken an older set of plans, the Sasquatch wilderness tripping canoe, and made improvements to make the hull easier, cheaper, and faster to build.

We're pleased to present the Sasquatch II: http://www.jemwatercraft.com/proddetail.php?prod=SasII

Thanks.

It's been awhile since I have been out here, and I have a few more questions.

As some of you know, I finished building my duck hunting boats last year right before the start of the season, (think the paint was still a little damp, opening morning).  For their purposes the boats worked great.  The Scaup by Devlin was easy to hid, hauled almost enough gear for three guys and I have to say handled bigger waves then I ever thought it would.  The Merrymeeting Bay scull boat, works ok.  There is a steep learning curve on sculling and finding a good pic or plans of a scull oar are seen as much as bigfoot is.  We sculling a few times, never moved fast enough to get into the flocks, but it was stable and could haul a fair amount of gear and even move at aobut 6 mph with a 2 hp.

So here is my question, I am going to start another boat soon, this one is going to be big, going to scarf three full sheets together and work from there.  My question is does anyone know how steep of an angle I can bend the plywood (3/4" BS 1088)?

rope pic?

The 8x4 sheet of marine ply is measured marked and cut laid out on a platform made from an old caravan body! on top of three home made tressels with the outer two left wide to make it more stable,but was a pain as had to walk around when working.
