It's all good. I was never having a whinge about whether or not the individual should or should not be allowed to carry a gun. Over the years I have heard arguments for and against. I simply wondered how those of you that do go armed decide when, or if you will. I can well imagine benefits...

Remembers years ago watching a tv show that had a segment 'bout Lanolin and it's effect on steel. At the wool shearing sheds here years ago everything became 'contaminated' with lanolin, it being a natural by product from sheep wool. Seems that after many years exposure to lanolin the steel...

Ok just curious here. Never had anything to do with guns 'ceptin' for army cadets and 303 Lee Enfield rifles about forty years ago. When you guys are talking about carrying weapons concealed or otherwise are you talking constantly carrying, or occasionally? If occasionally what makes you decide...

And here's me thinking the seat was a anti-theft device. Your boat would be well safe with that 8)

Hmm mebbe I was overthunking this. Electricians tape would probly do as good a job as anything ... Although I kinda was hoping that someone would say they had attached a thin brass/bronze strip that sat along the top edge of the corner and tell me how they went about fastening it. I spose if...

Ok now I have your attention :lol: Every now and then I'll do a bad stroke, might be a wave's fault or just lack of attention on my part. Thing is if the paddleshaft rubs against the edge of the boat at the junction of the side and deck it leaves scuff marks. Have also left marks on this corner...

Interesting and informative. A couple of times I've considered asking whether or not anyone knew if CCA treated wood would prevent the uptake/saturation of epoxy I don't need to ask that now. :)

Be strong Bear an Karen. Must be better to have found it before it went off. That's what the checkup was for, so stay positive.

Hey guys check out any "coarse fishing site" .uk They've used maggots there to fish with forever and they are DYNAMITE! Hold your forefinger and thumb about four mm apart that is typical hook size, overall! size 22. With such fine hooks you can easily (ok we old ppl need glasses to find the...

The amount of soot/creosote on yer stoves is directly proportional to the number of the rest of the holes you haven't drilled yet :P

Once again we are reminded of the simple beauty of this forum. WE CAN LEARN FROM OTHER'S MISTAKES. What an idiot :lol: :roll: :lol: :roll:

I'd like to say something a bit more positive than this, but best I can do is to say lots of good people are thinking of, and praying for the pair of you. Regards John.

This thread is padding out quite nicely fellas. I'd almost talked myself out of building this having already bought the plans, then noticed the height of the bow with one person aboard. I'll throw another variable into it. A side mounted motor would mean I could put the motor further forward...

That's exactly what I was thinking Jack. I'm now wondering if this boat will be stable and track ok with one person. Flat bottom might slide about a bit, even with a lectric rather than a noisy engine. Seems a waste of a pretty bow unless heavily weighted at the front end. Battery at the bow...

Hmm, you're still not seeing what I'm seeing though. I have the plans and am likely to use an electric motor. The combination of these four pictures is making me think twice about it. I was originally attracted to the lines of this boat.

Opinions please fellas. A set of pictures will be found at: http://www.boatplans.dk/pictures.asp?id=1&page=2 You will find a set of photos. Please open the first two and the fourth picture. Any and all comments appreciated. Regards John.

John reckons graphite probly enhances durability, which is a word he hasn't seen mentioned in this thread... till now 8)

Thanks guys. The beauty of this forum is the ease with which you can,- make that we can- access information and trains of thought that don't come readilly to the inexperienced ( I like to think of it as unsullied :lol: ) And of course the mixture of opinions/thoughts/ideas gives a good basis...

Here's a question that's probly been asked before in many forms. I'd like a bit of input from some of you more experienced (Ok thats all of you) :oops: Let's say a plan calls for six mm, or 1/4" ply with taped seams and epoxy. Would there be an equivalent in strength say with using 4mm ply and...
