Wooden boat video's

I spent quite a bit of time doing a video on the Muskoka boat builders and I have put up the video on youtube

The second video is about boats bikes and cars and it is 7 minutes long and is best viewed using a high speed internet connection.

Let me know if you would be interested in a tv series featuring different boat, car and bike shops?

I will be putting up two more videos very shortly,

A little chilly here...

Good Sunday morning to all:

 

Woke up this morning at 5:15 to a temperature of  -20 deg F, windchill at -34.  I don't think I will be working on the boat today.

 

We have been getting some snow and so have about 8-10 inches on the ground.  I am thinking about bringing my cross country skis in and redoing the bottoms on them.  I got out of the habit of daily ski's a few years ago and haven't put them on since despite the fact that I enjoy being outdoors and getting a little exercise.  My snowshoes are on the porch but so far the snow is super light and fluffy and 'shoes wouldn't do me much good...

 

I am starting to get cabin fever - I guess I'll daydream about warmer temps and go back to internet searching  boats, I am still looking for that one design that I will build next...

 

Hope everyone has a great day...

Lost legal battle

Date: Tue, Jan 30 2007 0:24:36 GMT-0500
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.
