Karin, If you are serious, PM me the details of what you need and a drawing or sketch of the part and I'll have a look at it. I may even have some mahogany here. Let me know. Thanks

That's nice of you Karin. Maybe we could make a trade of some kind???

Ha, that's funny. I guess I really didn't think of it that way... This is the one I have looked at but haven't decided yet. It's a little pricey, but it might fit the bill http://www.stewartriver.com/supplies/merchandise.html

My intention was only to screw the block in place. That way, I can replace or reconfigure as needed. I was just figuring there would be a little tweaking involved and wanted to give myself a bit of wiggle room. Glueing would only make that more difficult. I think I'll leave it as is and see what...

Alan, I drilled a series of progressively larger holes in some scraps until I found the one that seemed to be the right fit. I was quite careful to not strip the threads. I know how soft the brass can be. I'd like to keep the center seat as low as possible, so I'm not sure that the yolk...

I started on the gunwales the other day. Clamped them dry to the hull to see how much bending force would need to be applied to allow them to follow the bow and stern rise. There is actually quite a bit of force needed to get them to conform to the shape. While they were clamped there, over a...

Great to have you here Quakaq. Lots to read here. Warm folks to talk to as well. What more can you ask for? Welcome!

Welcome aboard Coldfeet. Is the old saying true...Cold feet, warm heart? I'm sure you'll find no shortage of people to talk to about all of your interests. Have fun!

Alan's right, those strips are quite skinny. You must have done this once or twice before (wink). Great to be able to see your creation take shape. Thanks for letting us tag along. Keep those posts coming

Looks fantastic so far Alan. It's so nice when you can take something from the screen to real life, and it actually works. Nice Are you sure you're not a filthy rich philanthropist type with money to burn and more time on you're hands than you know what to do with? I'm looking forward to...

Welcome Deuce! Glad you could join in on all the fun. The informative posts are the icing on the cake. Happy trails!

Karin, Have you tried a place here in Ontario called A&M Wood Specialty? They have Sitka Spruce on their catalogue list for $22.55/bdft (Canadian) Here's a link if you are interested http://forloversofwood.com/pricelistlandv.aspx Not sure what their shipping methods are, as I just go to their...

Thanks SG. You are too kind. I love the old tools, and even the newer ones that are based on the old tool principle. I have a little collection that is slowly building. Just like each canoe has a journey it has been on, so too with all tools. The way the plane adjustment works is that the...

As the colder weather sets in a little more each day, I’m finding it harder and harder to get out into my work space (it’s really just my garage but it sounds better when I say “workspace” ) and be productive. I do most of my fiddling around with projects in the evenings but I have no heat so it...

Karin, I think all the answers above great suggestions for you to consider. I'll throw in a couple, and you can figure out what works best for you and your situation. If you don't have a band saw, do you have a relatively good jig saw? This will certainly do the same thing as a band saw but...

Thanks Dave. You did have the words. You just said them and I really appreciate it. My daughter is a private in the reserves, and this hits home. It could have easily been her. She has trained with the young man who was killed. Thanks for hearing me out.

This is in no way related to paddling except where it concerns our freedom to do so in all parts of the World. If you'll indulge me... As we ( in Canada) have been rocked recently with the attack on our Parliment Hill, and the trajic death of one of our very own unarmed soldiers, I for one...

I personally don't mind it. I just wanted to know what made it change from one thing to another. No worries here.

Thanks YC. I kinda thought it might be the software, but was hoping there was a way to override it. It would be neat to have us label ourselves. We could come up with some doosies. :)

I apologize if this is a repeat, but was wondering if there was a way to change the label under our user name on the left side of the screen. I noticed that some members have the title "Tripper" or... Is this a system thing based on post count? or is there a way to change this? Thanks, Momentum
