Action Tiger Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 My wife knew long before we married I don't operate logically. Luckily, though, I was a kid before they drugged hyperactivity out of you, so I've happily spent my life buzzing away in my own little world. So help me, boats are only the bit of the berg ABOVE the water... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Tiger, you are a man after my own heart. I grew up the same way. Always into something interesting---sometimes that would get me in trouble. I was the original "strong willed child", hyperactive, ADHD before it was discovered, like Calvin of Calvin and Hobbs. The boating infection hit early and became my greatest obsession. My poor wife just doesn't get it. "Why do you need all those boats, the garage is for the car, what about the honey-do jobs, the grass needs to be mowed, blah-blah-blah......"

Pat Mellema Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Chick I recognize that problem myself. I try to limit my building to one boat at a time. Use it for a while then want something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yep, my problem too. Each boat will be my last---until..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I am the luckiest guy in the world. Seriously. My wife understands me. And she realizes how harmless my vices really are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Tiger Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Well, I seem to be unable to make a smooth top on that tube type stuff. I either had a big bead, or a coved in seam. So, I decided to fill the cove with putty, and paint the rails to match the deck. Meh. Next time I'll just set them down a bit from the corner and keep a thin strip of deck color above the rail. Live and learn. And keep on going, because I'm almost ready to sail this dumb thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgossett Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Finished the rub rails. The boat looked great at Port Townsend Wooden boat show. Thanks for all the advice on the rub-rails. Ed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
