Mr. Scott

The cradle is absolutly beautiful Dave! I am envious of your skill.

In my opinion, people should take ALL the answers, and then make a judgement as to which ones suit their own needs. This is how I look at things. On a more personal note: it's spring break for me and it @#!%**$ snowed! :evil: This is my definition of irony. (2 years left, graduation, then southbound! )

Good poetry Steve, and I usually don't say that too often

I love these tutorials from you guys! Does anyone know where I can get a spar plane :?: Or is a spoke shave the best way to go? Thanks

Beautiful work Dave, is this your own idea or did you get the plans elsewhere? I'm not ready for grandkids yet...ok maybe in 5 years....but no cribs, rockers, or prams till then!

Great pic from all over The New Zealand pics kindof make me want to move there...seems warmer. Do you need a hunting license for orcs?

Welcome aboard Alda! You're one of those lucky live-in-the-warm people that I envy. (graduation time look out southwest...snow stinks!) :evil: There are lots of good ideas here, and these people like to share.

Probably the same thing...she is Irish! A "friend" was nice enough to let me try it.

It's February, and I can get gifts already. I kindof like that! (less shopping, more building!) I'm all for it Frank. Count me in!

HAGGIS?!? EEEEYECH! I tried it once and I still have nightmares!

Outstanding Dave where did you get those clamps? I think those are just the ticket for me (just gotta get the boss to agree!)

Looks nice Scott!

Barry, I envy your not having to deal with winters, but untill I graduate from school, I will have to deal with it. :x

You forgot one I think.... Why shovel, it'll melt soon :evil:

Am I glad I found this site! I get more information here than anywhere I have ever been. I suppose that with all this expert advice my boat better look fantastic :oops: Thanks alot everyone, I really appreciate all your help.

I probably shouldn't comment the same way for fear of appearing banal, but, WOW! :shock: That was one of the best tutorials I have read. simply put, when the "simple" things are explained in detail to me the "harder" thing seem simpler! (hey it made sense to me)

Aparently she thinks I do a good job! I would argue, but I have an ego to boost!

Thats funny! Whenever I look at production boats, They look unimaginative, thats why I'm building my own. Don't worry, I will quit when I finish this project (or the next, or the one after that!).

My romantic day consisted of Putting up trim in the house, shoveling more of this dang snow :evil: , and then going out with Tish and singing Karoke to her. (and who says romance is dead!)

It wasn't on fire when you started? I remember using a line like that when I was a kid too! Better do extra chores to make up for that!

I'm interested. Might give me more ideas.

Wow! :shock: Lots of info. Thats what I meant...spraying the resin...anyway I found a friend who srays varnish and epoxy for a living. This means I have an "in" ( if I choose to be lazy and have someone else do the work!) Now next question...Do I paint over the epoxy, or under it? :shock: Thanks again all!

I figured as much...just my luck...got the compressor and the equipment, just not the right kind. I'll try using plastic sheeting to get the epoxy smooth....I saw the tecnique on another forum. Thanks for the info!

OK I have a question for anyone that has an idea. I want to know if you can spray epoxy or fiberglass, and if you can how do you do it? I have a large air compresser, and good ventilation in my shop. I have painted quite a few cars, but I don't think that the above materials can be mixed the same (ie thinned down enough to spray like paint) :? I am not at this stage yet, but if I can spray, I want to practice to get good at it.

Excellent job! Wanna cut out my hull too?
