My dental appointment is Wed. the 9th and not looking forward to it either. But Happy New Year anyway guys. If things get too bad you can head for the roundhouse. They can't corner you there. Dave.

He's locked in on you, waiting for your next move. Nice rack too.

I always enjoyed his comments. Sorry to hear he's gone.

Here's wishing everyone a blessed Thanksgiving day. Dave.

Hey Chuck, I remember my dad getting that catalog every summer and I'd spend days as a kid looking at all the hunting stuff and decoys. Also. there were some old time decoy makers from the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland that made goose and swan decoys shaped with wood lathes and covered with...

Thanks Guys, I really appreciate that. This forum and all you guys posting builds on here and giving support to new guys have taught me alot. It's been six years or so getting this boat started but that's just me, a day late and a dollar short. Thanks, Dave.

I forgot to mention that the bottom is 25 inches wide and the beam is 36 inches. Dave.

The next day I got the rake cut on the planks. 13ft 6in across the top 12 ft on the bottom with 2 and 1/2 in arc cut out of the bottom. The stems were cut from an old white oak 2x4 with a 30 degree angle and the end caps for the stems will be of the same. I made the center form to bend the...

Well, I finally got started last week. The 3/8 plywood got scarfed with my circular saw jig and that worked out pretty good. Since then I have bought a Bosch sander. I glued up the ply with West Systems 610. It comes in a caulking tube with a screw on mixing spout. Worked real nice and I...

Looks good Andy. Dave.

Thanks Andy, I'm going to have to seal some knots in my cypress planks. Dave.

Hey Andy, your boat is really going to look nice. You said earlier that you fill the knots with epoxy and I noticed one in a photo. Do you use thickened epoxy to seal them up? Dave.

Hey Andy, I've been dealing with these people for years both here and in Delaware. For the most part they are all good honest folks, but I have been taken by a few. Most times they provide services that aren't available anywhere else, at a reasonable rate. Dave.

Thanks alot Seedtick. I will do that. Dave.

Thanks, Jack. Me Too.

Well, I took the planks over to the Amish guy with the bandsaw mill on Saturday and we tried to resaw them in half, lengthwise. I picked out the one board which contains several knots to try first. It didn't work out like we hoped so we quit right there before we ruined a board. I then called...

Nice work Andy. Dave.

Thanks Seedtick for the advice. Dave.

Thanks Seedtick, this is regrowth cypress, I bought it a few years ago from Wilson lumber co. in Memphis, Tenn. they deal exclusively in cypress. I remember a photo by you and friend Keith where you tacked a board onto the end of the plank you were bending for the pirouges side using a come...

Hey Jack, no I plan on being legal with my waterfowling fire power. However years ago back home in Delaware our family went down to Chincoteague, Va. and watched a demonstration of a 0 gauge punt gun being shot from a sneak skiff,"similar to a pirouge". That was something to see. Dave.
