I'm thinking that V bottom makes the floor stiffer, than if was just flat?

Hi Joey, I thought about using the seat as a thwart, by having peg holes in the seat rails, and using a board seat with two pegs at each end, maybe on sliding brackets to adjust for length?

Here's another, my car key and house key both have square ends, getting in the car I pull out my keys with my finger on square end key, without looking at the key I slip it into the ignition, can't rotate key, Key won't come out, finally I look at stuck key, crap. Two days later after trying...

The whole thing was a mess. Those vacuum lines needed to be sterile on the inside, the crud would eventually damage the roughing pumps in the basement and then there were secondary roughing pumps in the labs, turbo molecular pumps and cryo pumps, separated by gate valves, all stages under...

I worked for two research universities, building custom research equipment. All of the equipment has to be extremely clean for use, much of it was used in very high vacuum experiments, some of the experiments required very large vacuum pumps, that had to be set up in the basement, requiring...

Hi Jack, Silencers tend to be large, about 1000% of bore volume, a silencer contains the sound produced by the muzzle blast. Suppressors tend to be smaller, because they work the opposite way, suppressors do not attempt to contain sound, instead a suppressor prevents any sound from being...

Hi John, about two years ago I built a 12x16 foot shed (that was all the space I had) I made the walls 9.5 ft. high with a peaked roof, the inside height from floor to ridge pole is 13' 10". I strung treated 2x4's across the rafters and used corrugated sheet metal. So there's an opening all...

Thank You. James

Hi Dink, I was wondering where you got the proper looking motor mount and the prop? I've started on a weedeater outboard as well. Thanks James

Hi Joey, I have an idea about re- attaching the aluminum to the framing of your boat. I would order a 1/4lb. bottle of ca. glue (Tower Hobbies) and just run a bead along each frame member and it should wick in. I would use the thin stuff, because you have a clean tight fit , I think it would...
