I'm back, hide the hooch Going to start posting on that boat, keep your eyes open and your filters on high Wrecked boats is going to see a slap down drag out fight with a bunch of plywood, some two by fours, and my lungs... if I win, in a couple of weeks I will have walked you all through a slap down backyard build that you can do at home as a final word, screw the trolls, we know who they are, just screw em'... |

Maybe I should ask you to come over and help moderate..........naw, on second thought probably not. :-) Most of the attempts to "ruin the site" in the last few days have been some opinionated but very civil discussions about the advantages and disadvantages of bow thrusters on small boats, transom savers on trailers, and the relative merits of various boating hats. There is some historic tension between a few posters, but it almost never breaks out into the sort of content that fans of other venues seem to promote and enjoy. What's more, the natural momentum of the site is finally kicking in and even though I have been too busy this week to post as often as I would like, other members are posting more freely, spontaneously, and informatively than folks who spend no time there might imagine possible. No magic, just a site where "the golden rule" is SOP and there is a small amount of organization and structure. While that "ruins" it for some, others seem to be enjoying it and the modest amount of structure has allowed folks who don't get along elsewhere (or haven't in the past) to converse in a civil fashion. FYI, wrecked boats is seldom mentioned on the other site. In my opinion, it would be entirely OK if the other site were never mentioned here. I'd respectfully suggest that you folks have enough problems of your own to iron out on this board without trying to comment on problems you think exist elsewhere. Have a wonderful day, one and all. That post was totally unnecessary and counterproductive. If your desire is simply to inflame, Harry, JimH, and Don are doing just fine, thank you. I notice you make no comments about their continuous name-calling, fight provoking, and otherwise immature behavior over here, Chuck. Shame on you. -- John *H* When you look behind his holier than thou attitude, Chuck is really a decent guy, whose unselfish desire to enrich us poor unwashed heathens with his insight, is commendable. I also want to thank Chuck for providing a safe haven where Harry can retreat and practice his decorum. Perhaps Harry will one day learn to be civil enough to return to usenet and post like an adult, in an unmoderated newsgroup.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - As you can see from just this morning, that ain't happening! And it's SO easy to figure out. If you believe his lies, or at least tolerate them, he's fine with you. If you call bull****, then all of a sudden you're a dumb foch, don't own a boat, etc.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - All I can say is go buy 7 sheets of plywood. The best exterior grade you can find. If you want the boat to last 20 years, buy occoume (BS1088) grade plywood but be prepared to shell out a grand... Anyway I am doing mine of exteior ply. With care, it will last someone 10 years. Get 7 sheets of plywood for the hull. 4@1/2inch and 3@3/4inch. You will also need a bunch of standard framing material. A 4x4 for the stem, 2@1x4 for the chinelogs, 2@2x6 for the sheet clamp rails (gunnels) another 16 footer for the keel, and a 2x4 or two for floor rails and non-detailed interior framing. On the framing lumber, just take a day or two, even a couple of trips if necessary to get the clearest douglass fir you can find. The 20 footers need to be particularly clear as they will be bent around the sides of the boat.. more on that later. Screw the trolls.. this is much more fun...- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Oh, and don't buy spruce.... Try to get doug fir, it's probably the best all around wood for this particular build...Strong, light, holds fasteners well, reacts well to water, does not "walk" (warp and twist) like spruce or other soft woods. If you can' find fir, check with me before any substitutions ....- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Do you get both sides grade A?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I would, otherwise you find yourself wasting expensive epoxy to fill the holes and stuff. Not to mention it makes it easier to "get out" the parts from the stock. Eventually we will need more for seating and such, and you might want to get an extra sheet and get the transom parts in two sheets instead of the parts to be glued together in the plans. Did you read them yet? Hurry up, I am gonna' be moving quickly once I get started- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I may watch then. I don't know how fast I can be ready what with the kid laid up and all. I've not started reading yet, downloaded and looked around though. My dance card is pretty full!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Just kidding, take your time. Whenever you get started, I will walk you through it... I don't really expect you to keep up at this point. Who knows, maybe by the time you are ready to do the clamps, I can be there to help on my way to Fla... |
