Mr. Knowitall again. I advised Bill Polk to get a small boat of his won if he wanted to immerse himself in sailing. I'm replying again to him here so the rest...
If I ever thought I had an original idea I'm sure I'd find out that somebody else thought up the same thing long ago... Here's an idea that's so simple and...
Tell us more about the doweling machine and the spindle sander, Pat. I was looking at a oscillating spindle sander at Harbour Freight the other day, it looks...
Sound like a nice spot. My mother used to like to hunt for agates on Ona beach (among others), but I haven't been back there for decades. If you like that sort...
Hello John, The cutting table is an idea that has come & gone, I am afraid.... What works just as swell, is TONS EASIER to handle (hey! I am 50, ok!) is a...
I'm up for Any new ideas, but I have No clue what you are talking about. How is the ridged foam insulation used? Thanks pat ... ok!) is a sheet of rigid foam...
Well, the way that I use the foam is on top of a workbench that I have. I am not one of those lucky guys that have a full sized table saw (just one of those...
That's a good one, especially for small pieces. Now why didn't _I_ think of that! <g> I don't think the foam could entirely replace a wooden cutting table...
Your foam cutting support Is a good idea, especialy if you don't have a large table saw, but I'm gonna keep My sliding table. I don't think the Idea has "come...

I added some Tool Hints. Wooden Bandsaw "Detail" Sliding Table for Table Saw. Taper Cutting Jig for Table Saw. "Kick" Off switch for Table Saw. Nice when you...
Pat- How did you hook the sanding drum to your washing machine motor? That doweling machine is quite a contraption! Looks like it'll do the job though. So why...
The Sanding drum is threaded on th bottom, and has a screw on top for expanding the rubber drum. I got it from Sears. It srews on to an addaptor, that I think...
I believe it was somewhere back east. Don't think it's big enough for the Miss. but something nearly as big. The site's tough to get to now, seems there may...
I picked up Claude Worth's book Yacht Cruising the other day. In it he praises the dinghies used by some Breton fishermen, and gives a drawing of one he...
Cute boat. The text says you can take 9" off. I wonder if you can take 1' 9" or so off it, say to use 8" plywood for the sides? With all that flare, and great...
I think if you chopped more than 1 3/4 feet (gotta allow for the curves) off the bow the punt would lose a lot of the advantages that long bow gives. If you...
Somebody on another mailing list tipped me off that the Auray punt was mentioned in Small Boat Journal long ago. I dug up my copy of the pertinent issue and...
How about a messabout on Dexter Lake the last weekend of March (30 or 31) to get us back into boating? March is a fickle month, so the weather might turn the...
I would like to attend a messabout! ...my boat-to-be project has been set on the back-burner for a bit, the construction aspect, that is. I am still...
Hi John, Any day sounds good, I may even have my D4 ready by then, but I will probably make it, even if it is not ready to go. Hope to see you then. Chuck...
John that sounds nice. I might even make it down there. (I really need to get out more.) Just to put some faces with these names. (Might be scarry) Either day...
John, Excellent idea. My good wife has noted that Sunday March 31st is Easter so Saturday may be better for some. I haven't determined how much difference it...
