Now that the two panels are joined I fold one along the edge of the other panel and hold it with a small binder clamp. Then making sure the edges of the two panels are right at fold I sew down one side removing the clips as I go. Then the panels are flipped over and the other edge is sewn...

Yes, The Ways of the Wilderness is probably how I first learned about them. I even started to make one with coated ripstop nylon it was all sewn up but I never got the tie out points on it. So this is round two for me. Jim

I finally got started on sewing up a Whelen lean-to. Glen if you want this in tents and tarps section feel free to move it. For some reason it took me quite a bit of searching to find the fabric I wanted but this winter I did, 8.5 oz Sunforger fabric plus it is 5’ wide so less sewing for me and...

I think what happened was an anomaly, I’ve seen other projects from his shop and they were just fine as Robin shared with the stem of the canoe he canvassed. It is tough though when there is good work and not so good work and you are not sure what you are going to get. Jim

Welcome to the campfire Miss Katie. Since you are in northern Minnesota already I think you might start by renting different models to see what works best for you. Jim

Sounds like a glitch in the Matrix. Jim

I think so but should check with my social secretary first. I’ll call you later. Jim

Here is a drawing from the Weather Book by Eric Sloane that describes that roller cloud you got a picture of. Jim

It took a while to find the pic but I saw this rainbow on the last day of 2013. It is the one and only upside down rainbow I’ve ever seen, you can see the corner of a roof in the lower corner. The pic doesn’t do it justice but it almost looked like a planet we might have been orbiting around. Jim

That is a very nice cloud (to look at) Robin. I’ve seen one like that also. Jim

That pack looks great, and that it fits your needs perfectly is the icing on the cake. Jim

Sorry to hear your tale of woe Art. I know the shop you are talking about and I am a bit surprised that you had such trouble. If you want I’d be glad to stop by and see if I can give you a hand. Jim I forgot to say that I too have had a hard time laying down Kirby’s paint without brush strokes...

All of mine have varnished blades and shafts and oiled hand grips. Jim

It’s a good varnish but I’ve used Intrlux #96 Schooner varnish as my go to varnish for 30 years. I find it easier to apply than epifanes and I get less crazing as the years go by. You do need to use their proprietary Special Thinner to clean bristle brushes which annoyed me but I got used to it. Jim

Nice shop. You are not the first one to buy too short lumber. None the less it looks like you are off to a good start. Jim

Where did you see that? I know you said Maine but it is a big state. Jim

Here is a shot from our viewing spot. Of course the phone camera makes it look brighter in the foreground than it actually was. The temp drop and the increased wind were significant. The sun was over my left shoulder. Jim

Welcome to the campfire MtnTripper. Pull a stump and throw another log on the fire. Where are you located? Jim Sorry I missed the NC.

That is one focused dog. Jim

Love that black fly song. Jim
