Frank Hagan Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hey, that's a pretty good sized boat for them! Looks like they are doing a great job on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Jones Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 What WONDERFUL pictures. Those are some of the neatest I've seen on this board. Reminds me of years ago when my then 10 year old son (now 36) built a Folbot kit mostly all by himself. I still have the boat stored, waiting for when his son, who is now 6- is big enough to paddle the boat. Dad- you'll have those memories LONG after the kids have kids of their own Alexander and Laura - looks like you guys are doing a great job. I'm impressed and I do that for a living Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnacle Jim Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Thanks for the photos! Those two swabbies are well on their way. Their craftsmanship looks good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kelley Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Great work!! I wish I could have started at you're age I've been all over the net trying to get a picture of what it's supposed to look like. Does anybody have one ??

Guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 That is way to cool. But I have just comment . It does not look like you live in an igloo up there. What memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gudschinsky Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hi Mike, Look at the picture under my name. I'll have Dad post a picture later. Mr. Scott Bring your hull by. We'll cut it out for you. BYE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gudschinsky Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hey Mike, Here is the picture you might be looking for. Oyster, We don't live in igloos but we can play in them. :lilangel: http://www.messing-about.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1435&highlight=amphora[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeStevenson Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I can't wait to add an Amphora builder pics page to the site! Then everyone will be able to find out what they look like, and they'll be able to check out the great boatbuilding work you've done!

Johannah Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Alexander and Laura, you're doing great work! 8) Keep reminding dad about taking pictures so Mike Stevenson can put your building process on the Web. You are going to inspire kids and grownups. Well, you already do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Pyeatt Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 I find this so exciting! Ever since my youngest son was interested in the Amphora when he was little, I've been kicking myself for not building one with him. He loved the book and did a lot of drawings of boats and diving to recover things from wrecks. But at the time we were very much involved in other things so it didn't happen. Now, he is a new dad with a new son and he still remembers the book and the idea of the Amphora. Maybe he will want to build one with his son when he gets your age. Keep up the good work, and keep us posted on what is happening. I think Mike Stevenson would love to have a collection of your building photos to document what you are doing. And then some pictures of you doing underwater research and recovery. I'm sure he would find a place for them on their Web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeStevenson Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Maybe in the Summer you will be able to get some underwater pictures with the viewer. The little dispposable cameras with housings are good too. I took some fun pictures when I was snorkelling last year. I'm sure your parents could track one down for you when you're ready to go swimming! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Luckett Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Is the water warm enough for swimming there? Mike, would red oak work for the lumber? How about Poplar? I can get both here. Sassafras has sky rocketed to about $12/bf, so it is out for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gudschinsky Posted February 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Well for starters, we can take pictures underwater. Yes Greg it is warm enough for swimming here. Maybe some day we can invite you to help look for our old anchor and our old fishing pole at the bottom of Harding Lake. Your friend, :wink: Laura.
