Hey, Cat.... Mick didn't join this forum for the boats.... My sources tell me he spends most his time here in the Food section lookin' for our delicicious southern entrees...... :lol: I do know he be a huge fan of sweet 'taters! Steve

Sounds like me 'n' Fred got things in common! :shock: :lol: Jus' glad I dunt play golf! 8) Maybe I should be sure t' stay away from the table saw tho' when she be around! :roll: Steve

Large flffy biscuits, a slatherin' of mayhaw jelly and a gallon or two of muscadine wine.........'n' that be for starters......mmmmmm......

WOW!! Seedtick, I love that boat! Maybe the missus can sleep on the couch whilst I cuddle up wit' that! :lol: :shock: :lol: Steve

http://www.planotim.com/messabout/ Was thinkin' 'bout makin' that one myself with Sheena if her project's done then. If we make it there I hope we kin get together and visit a bit. Would be nice to meet and chat a spell. Steve

Hi Russell. How'd that East Texas cedar mill out for you? I've tried it before and it always seemed to be a dry powdery wood, real brittle (At least what I was able to get was that way, so I guess it could've been my source). Love the look of it and would love to use it on a few projects of...

Hey, Buddy, Lemme know how it comes out for ya. I been afraid of the same thing happening when Sheena goes to glass her project. Dad By the way, Glad to meet ya, fin'ly.

Hope they issued lifelines to the neighborhood 'fore they put dem things on!

speaking of pacemakers.... can anyone here tell me about 'em? What I might expect and such, and how long to recover after... talked to the doc the other day and he said if my heart rate (35) doesn't come up with this new meds, we gotta start plannin' on one.... Ain't really enthused about...

Don'cha fret 'bout dat ground corn, Missah Jack....I dun't care much fer 'em myself.... :lol: FlaMike..... Okra, friend.... now's ya talkin' 'bout edibles I can sink me teeth into...... :lol:

aprayinbear; It sounds as if your problem might be a void in your ply that may have been holding some moisture in it still when you applied your epoxy. Since the boat's already built, you should probably stick to Jack's remedy of using the 'dutchman', as that would be your best alternative...

I've been considering some of those shaped finger joints for some furniture projects... but one a boat? :roll: Clint, I'll try to get the drawings finished by the weekend, if not, this weekend for sure and get them off to you or try to get 'em posted on here, tho' Sparky or Jack will...

Jack, Soon as I can, I'll get a drawing put together for the jigs, if you'd like to see them. The one I've got built now does wonders with a router on a table. The other I'm still working out but looks like I'll have the same success with it. That is if you're interested.

Dear friend Jack, I do wish I had your eloquence with the written/spoken word. I especially have to say I agree with you about joints. That's why on this second attempt at getting Sheena's canoe built (besides standing guard over the shop when #1 son works on his truck) I decided to build...

Kayak Jack says: ...Only the unwashed or troglodytes use nails in boats... True...in most cases...however it does depend upon the style of boat you are building. Cedar canvas canoes make use of nail techniques as well as some lapstrake designs of various styles. However, the best fastener...

Bret, welcome aboard. I understand about the cryin' when the daughter asked to build another boat. Mine's 19, and we're on our second attempt at gettin' her 'noe built. (Funny, but this time around, it seems to be taking forever what with school, work, hospital trips and the like) But it...

Ain't dat d' truth, Jack. Ne'er cared fer a hot fire in my cookin' of anything. Much prefer a small fire, away from d' meat, where I kin easily add my wood as needed. My fire ain't ne'er more'n the size o' a dinner plate. May take a tad longer cookin' time on occassion but ...WTH...some...

Jack, Schedule 80 is a tad thicker wall on the pipe than a standard 1/4" (schedule 40) wall...helps create a better heat distribution... a mig gun is a welding gun that feeds out wire as you weld (ya've prob'ly seen 'em used in body shops...) Didm't mean to throw ya into confusion...

just gime some schedule 80 14-inch carbon steel pipe, some scrap steel plate and a mig gun and I's happy. Propane costs more ev'ry day (Just spent near 300 dollars to HALF fill my tank here at the house :twisted: )and wood makes it tast SOOOO-O-O-o much better (Oak, Cherry, Mesquite, Pecan...

Hi there, Ken; Looking at these shots you've got here has me wondering and asking myself "what it would take" questions. Fact the missus walked by and caught me looking at a couple of the build shots a bit too close for her comfort and just automatically told me 'Maybe...in a couple of...
