Went looking for some ply this morning so I could get a start on mine. Nothing that looked any good. Looks like I'll be heading to Houston the first chance I get on a week day to chase me down some okoume. But, like 'Yak, make the form frames outa 1/4" or what for best results... Jimmy W and...

Bob, Read this one to the missus. She hasn't got up off the floor, yet.... Y'know, I think I might let her stay there tonight..... :twisted:

Bearridge...Miz Karen.... You are in my heart and prayers. Steve

Sheetsrep; Beautiful boat. Great job. Steve

Jack, I'm surprised you missed an opportunity to plug that Hennesy Hammock you're so proud of! :lol: I'd've thought you'd've written a whole page on it by now! Steve

Or, if you plan for them before and build in the same way (scarfing to paddles into one) you could turn your shaft AND your caps at the same time....providing you have enough room between centers on your lathe. Steve

Rubbing alcohol was what my mom used on us as kids. Steve

Now I have to try that. I love my fresh habaneros! Thanks for the tip. If no one was asking for to take some home, that'd just leave more fer me. :D :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :D :D :D :D Steve

rpecot, finend, pal, chum: got the missus to make your salsa. The dang woman can't follow directions worth a flip....she left out the vinegar....got it added, though. Now I see why Piper was wishing he'd claimed some of it 'fore ya left. Good stuff. yeah it is. OK....next gathering...

Jimmy, that is one great looking boat. Where exactly did you get the ply? One of those home cemter places or a good lumber yard? Or, did I miss it? Steve

Some great pics, Piper. Makes me wish even more I had ignored the Doctor's warning about too much too soon(as well as Chuck's advice and my own instinct....). Oh well.... Steve But even if I have to paddle a gosh darn hospital bed down the freeway, I AM gonna make the next big SP shindig!

Laflyfisher, Great job getting these up as fast as ou did. Thanks. I always enjoy seeing the boats. Keith and Seedticks creations are amazing to me. them building in the way they do. Oz was telling me over the phone that running his hand over them you couldn't tell where one board...

Mick, Beautiful boats, a beautiful woman. Dagnabit, Mick, you be one lucky man. (The smile on Robin's face in the pic in the Kayak forum tells us all we need to know about that boat of hers.) Great job, my friend. Steve

I know I'd want a copy for myself. I've enjoyed reading your remembrances on here, JC. Keep 'em comin'! Steve

Now that is what I call real quality time with friends. You be a lucky man. One more thing to add: He did an AWESOME job on that banty. That is a true treasure, in more ways than one. Steve

Dave, when it comes to gumbo, the more ya make it and the more you add and subtract from it (adding what ya like, subtracting what ya don't) ya turn it into your recipe. Pretty much the same as with any other recipe. All ya need are the basics. The missus makes chicken gumbo mostly...

Mick, A person would think that she would want to show off her husband's woodworking/boatbuilding skills with that boat and let all that natural beauty you have brought together for her to enjoy just shine right on through. :? Truly a beautiful job, Mick. You be 8) da man! I know...

Mick, Matt 'n I discuss the beam thing and decided with my weightit would stay the same. To be honest I anxious to see the final result, drawings or otherwise. How do you think it would look with high quality maple decks and the rest in a high quality mahogany? A mahogany strip down the...

Mick, Me thinks me gonna be pm'ing you and TRR alot as soon as Matt comes through with that 16 footer (actually 15'6", I think was what we had settled on...) Can't wait. If I can git mine to look near HALF as good as yours I'd be tickled pink. Steve

Did up some pinto beans with taters, sausage and ham served over cornbread chock full of onion and jalapenos! :D Dang, it was GOOD! 8)
