I like opening can's of worms like that :) I'm a rider too, and love all things on two wheels...except maybe scooters, and those ebike things. Not so much for the type of bike they are, but more for the careless attitude with which people have toward them. Many times have I seen young women with...

Wrong forum, I know, but tell us about the Harley!

How about filling ping pong, or tennis balls for tarp, or throw weights? What about coating the bottom of walking sticks or even canoe poles? Grab some of your wife's old chocolate or candy molds and start filling away. You'll have all your Christmas tree ornaments for the tree done in no time.

Here's mine...Pretty simple, but effective. Just some "scrap" I had laying around.

WOW i think we all need to get out paddling. Really fast.

Thanks for the poke Alan. It's been painfully slow at this point, which is kind of opposite to what you would think being warm out now. I have a list of outside projects as long as my arm that seem to always be more of a priority. I do however have some photos for you, on what I have done...

Hey, Just posting a link to this ad I just found if you are into restoring canoes. Not sure if it's still for sale. It's a tempting offer for me but sadly, I have no room to store it. Maybe one of you folks do...

You know Alan, we only want the best for you. If we didn't spur you on, who would? Like Mem said, glad to see you back at it. That is one fancy arse seat you've got there. Wow. I'm impressed with the design. It should work like a charm, and give you all the functionality you need. Did I miss...

Mike, Ok, I have kind of a silly question...Do you have to sleep in your truck or do you do it for adventure? I think it's kinda cool that such a utilitarian vehicle can be made so comfortable. Momentum

I love the builds...all of them. Everyone has its nuances and special personality, much like the owners. You can sure tell alot about people by the boats they build or restore.

Congratulations on getting it off the form, and home. You must have been pretty careful with your glue squeeze out and strip alignment if it only took you an hour to sand the outside. Maybe your pictures lie, but it looks like the hull is a healthy width for lots of gear. What's the final...

Thanks Mem. I'll be putting another coat on both for two reasons. One is that I think I did a terrible job with the fiberglass in many places (wrinkles, bumps, etc), so I'd like to clean it up a bit with another coat. And the second is that I'm a little skeptical on the durability of my...

Despite my distaste for fiberglass, all went well. I sanded anywhere that there was fresh epoxy with 120 grit, and layed out my pieces of glass where they needed to be. I purposely cut them a little narrow so as to not get into trying to make the fiberglass follow my radius end. I also allowed...

I do know that when I was in furniture production and we had a finish to spray, we would transfer what ever was left in the original can into the smallest possible can so as to minimize oxygen that will end up "setting" whats left. I do this with regular paints as well. I'm sure that the...

West Marine has the Epifanes Varnish on sale for 29.99 for a liter. That's 15 bucks off, and free shipping if I buy 2 of them. Sounds reasonable to me now that I went to my local hardware store and found out that the Helmsman is 24 bucks for a liter. From my recent reading, I think I may end up...

I thought we lost ya...That's what I'm here for...a good kick in the pants. Like you really need one (wink) I have an affinity for the fine art of marksmanship. I got my pellet gun when I was 12, and haven't looked back. I'm not a hunter, I just love the challenge, and technical thought that...

Well Stripperguy, I'm not that heavy! But it's nice to know that if I wanted to gain another 1000lbs, then I'd be ok with my supports as they are :) And, thanks for the compliment.

Alan, Where did you go? I'm really interested to see where you go with the last bit of your build. Momentum

Thanks ppine. I hope I'm not going into too much detail with my explanations. I do tend to do that, but if you want even greater, please let me know. Thanks again, Momentum

Jim, I'm a little lighter than you, so I'm hoping that the epoxy fiberglass combo does the trick
