To all who went out of their way to come help me turn my Dory project! Turning went off without a hitch, so nice to have lots of help.She won't be ready for...
That's OK Dan. Glad turning went fine. We look forward to seeing you and The Princess in April. Jack ... From: Dan To: MessaboutW@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,...
Well, everything went well for yesterdays boat turning except for the batteries in my still camera. Jewell was trying to take pics as we were turning and...
Glad it went so smoothly Dan. It helped having 20-some Coots there I think... The boat looks good! I'm excited to see it finished. What are your next steps? ...
Greg, Not planning alot of work on the dory this weekend. Going to go and make my weekly check on Ajax then pickup some Basswood for model building. Need to...
Thought some of you might be interested. There's an Atkin "Maid of Endor" being built out in Pat's neighborhood. The young man that is building invited me out...
Looks like you guys had a good time! Wish I coulda been there, although you guys prolly woulda been mad at me for having a go-fast boat ;-) Too much gardening...
Gents, I am curious if all y'all have your required Oregon Boater Education Card. If you don't, you can get dinged by the Marine Patrol, so you might think...
Andrew, Good for you! I took the class so long ago my card is quite worn. I wouldn't mind taking the class again just as a refresher but cannot do the Toledo...
That's cool, Andy. I got mine a few years ago but lost it. Do you know how to get a replacement? (I actually don't need one being 74 yo and only have less than...
They don't want people to have 2 cards, so to get a replacement, you need to call them and work out the details. From their website "If an individual loses or...
I think you could count the number of Coots who have a boat with an engine over 10 hp. on one hand. ;o) But taking the class is a Good Thing even if you don't...
Just for clarity: a) There is NO exclusion for age. b) You don't need a card if the engine of boat you are operating is less than 10hp. and for further...
It looks like there is enough interest to put together a Boater's Ed class. I'll schedule it in May, probably for a Saturday or a Sunday. This will be a full,...
Andrew, Any weekend good for me except Sat May 28th, attending Dorymen's meeting in Pacific City. JetMan<<< Please note: message attached From: Andrew Linn...
This weekend, there was little boat building. Much rest after a busy week prepping for the flock of Coots who came to help me turn my Dory boat. Have been...
Sounds reasonable to me. Greg -- Sent from my Palm Pre On Apr 3, 2011 19:33, Dan <Toolman84@...> wrote: This weekend, there was little boat...
Sounds like a good solution, Dan. It'd probably look good to have a rubrail right at the "knuckle" as well as at the sheer. It'd prote ct a vulnerable area...
John, Good tip, I had an idea of some kind of rubrail between my new sheer clamp and the sides. Thinking to help keep weight down, I'll use 1/4" ply and use a...
Dan, My only thought is that a vertical (plumb) top strake might look a little odd. If you can cock it out slightly - whatever you can do and still stay within...

In reading about this, it sounds really good -- would have to try some, so has anybody done that??  I would think that most paints are pretty specific on...
