I'd say a light cotton with flowers on... that's what I like to wear in the summer :wink: Sorry Ron, I couldn't resist that. I think I have seen some threads about this in the UK. Try this one: http://www.songofthepaddle.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=287&highlight=spraydeck

Beautiful place Mick. How does access to water work in Oz? Do you need a license to put a boat in the river?

Does anyone else use a workshop vacuum cleaner? I can't justify an integrated system but have had my eye on an Earlex wet-n-dry machine designed for workshops. I went out and invested in one and I'm a happy camper. It is a vertical cylinder around 14" dia and about 2' tall on castors. It has...

Glassing the inside Evening All, Well I have started on the inside now. There has been a delay while I decided how I was going to tackle the inner gunnels and breasthooks. Now they have been made and dry-fitted, I have taken them back out to glass the inside. What a pig of a job that was...

On this side of the pond... Things never said would have to include: "Kebab? - No, I wouldn't have room for minced probably-lamb covered in chilli sauce in a pitta bread after all that beer!"

Hi Spike, YOU ARE NOT ALONE ! You have just about described every single nightmare I have just had with my glassing... standby for advice from more experienced folk.

OUTSTANDING WORK !! That is a beautiful piece of work (I especially like the self portrait in the hat :wink: ). Just be careful with those panels. It is going to be a very special boat.

Hi VTFogg, I hadn't thought about doing it that way. I cut the stem flush and then stuck the bottom over it. I don't know what is the 'right' way.

Mick, That truely is a beautiful fish hunting machine!

Strewth Mick, it's a beaut :D Time to get it wet.

Hi VTFogg, A bit slow over here at the moment. I have made the breasthooks (the triangles at the ends) and am now in the process of setting out the inner rails. Quite a job though. I may be making too much of it but having decided to go for ventilated rails using 2" blocks I am trying to decide...

Hi VTFogg, Looks just right. Wish I had done more to get mine right at that stage!

Oooohhh Mick. Yeah that looks terrible... not! I would not have noticed at all if you hadn't pointed it out! I am prepared to bet $5AU no one ever points it out to you. They'll be to busy admiring how beautiful it is :) I know what it's like though. I ended up recutting the small...

Hi Scooter, I glassed right up to the outer rail which reduces the feathering needed for the edge of the glass. Looks like a sanding job to me. I waqited untill my messy epoxy was hard then used wet-and-dry with water. It seemed to clear up the runs OK and feathered the edges of the glass...

Hi Mick, Once these are rounded off Scooter is going to end up with stems like this...

Hi VTFogg, Looks like you're catching me up (not actually as I have done som lassing and you've got that to come (he he). Here is an earlier post while I was planning and scheming: http://www.neilbank.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2901&highlight= I am now planning to move the spacers...

Hi Brearridge, It is all a bit mad over here. If a house burglary involved less than about $2000 the police are not really interested. If you report that you have been burgled the most you are likely to get is a copper around the next day with a form for your insurers. Mind you if your...

Hi VTFogg, No problem. Foolish is how you should feel if you had stuck it in place without asking. Done worse myself. I have dismantled and fixed all kinds of stuff, rebuilt it carefully refitting all the fiddly bits and then found a vital final component on the bench. Arrrgghhhh...

Hi Kurt, Yes that's a neat way of doing it. That's also a nice piece of timber that you are cutting them from. I thought it looked like a large set of planes on the wall in one of the canoe pics... then I found this link: http://www.loup-garou.net/toolcabinet.html You're not just a...
