Framing the side frames

Ripped the boards into 1 1/2" wide.

Used the kreg jig to hold everything while the glue cures

The FRP is laid out to be sure the seams at 8' falls on a rib. I didn't want the seam in the middle since that's where the most arch is. The laps will be on opposite ends.

Ripping the FRP into 12"

Using a straight edge to get it perfect

I spent Saturday getting the shop back in working order - i don't do anything but hunt during the season so it was a wreck. I have made some progress - been testing some different materials, and different adhesives. using mostly plastics of different types i had to do some testing with glues and sea...

Chances are is that your axle is not properly lined up with your trailer, causing friction and wear prematurely in the bearings.

the narrower the trailer - the easier it is to get it lined up.

Also larger tires and lower air pressure helps with the rough roads.

i would literally slap that guy and tell him to go home - he doesn't even deserve to carry a gun. my 5 year old daughter takes rejection better than that, and if she acted like that - she knows she would get her but tore up.... they sound like a bunch of Hillary supporters. this is why i mainly hunt...

thinking of booking our 10 year anniversary to Maui.

would also look at booking a two day bow hunt for axis deer - already have a few leads on that.


any input on a resort in Maui ? anyone recommend a travel agent ??

material order ( fiberglass and resign ) will be ordered today. the rest of the material will be bought at the hardware store. Still not sure if the side will be aluminum trim coil or FRP panel.... i go to Atlanta next week on bushiness - then i will get started. i figure i can build it in two afte...

Using trim coil is interesting. Gonna add my $.02. Back in the 70s worked with some building contractor brothers in Gulfport that were building them outa 1/4"x 14' marine plywood with compound miter wooden block ends and 1x2s routered slipped down on the sides and for the side/bottom laps. The...

I've looked at the foam built boats and they have there place. but I really want a pirogue - something that is really easy to paddle. the shape and design of the pirogue is what makes it a great shallow water craft for paddling. one man and a dog and some gear. anyone that has ever sat in a pirogue ...

Link? Is this it? http://sawdustfactory.nfshost.com/herbc/ that is it. the weight doesn't have anything to do with the stability of it. flare the sides 30 degrees and make it 25-30" wide and i think it would be really steady. here is my plan. i'm going to use PVC lumber ripped to 1 1/2" x...

Came across this on WWW

thought it would suite my needs well. plan on building a version of this, using some different materials and slightly different methods......

any thoughts ?

I've got a predator 212 that is hopped up a little bit. probably a 12-15 hp

its a long tail - go devil type frame.

i'd sell it for $700.00 cranks and runs like a champ.....

pushes y 14' semi V with two adults a gear about 12 MPH

Speaking of corn, were any of you listening to the JT show yesterday while they were discussing this? I didn't catch the beginning, but some folks were claiming that deer harvest has decreased since the latest baiting law passed. They claimed it caused deer to become nocturnal. Not sure I buy that....

the twist rate would not matter. the bore of the rifle would have to be drilled out and new rifling added - you could add what ever twist rate you want.......
