Harley, great idea on these intros. We have some impressive members with equally impressive backgrounds. Mine won't be up there near as good, but here...
I love reading these profiles, guys. Every one of you knows things the rest of us don't so don't be bashful about telling us about you. Collectively we are a...
Scott. . .thanks for sending us the picture of your Easy LT/S. Nice work. It's good to see another ship finished. When you get a chance, if you have a longer...
Thanks. I had technical issues with our camera (a.k.a. my wife's camera). It seemed to be "stuck" in a recording mode and wouldn't let me actually take a...
Well my name is Terry Edson and i live in Buhl Idaho. Its pretty country here lots of open areas.I work at the suger factory here, proberly the best place to...
Terry, I'm a lurker on this list, and I'm putting together my own bagging system on the cheap. It's definitely possible to scrounge up a system that will work...
Terry - Sounds very interesting and inventive. I will be interested in hearing how it works for you. I know that some guys in our club have gone to surplus...
Hey guys, Like Chuck Norris, I'm a fan of doing things on the cheap when possible, but I've found the vacuum bags with the clips sold by either CST or ACP to...
I also built mine from a salvage yard a used hospital vacuum pump 35.00 used motor 25.00 and bought all the other parts from ACP bag clips, nylon bag, pressure...
Frank could you put a materials list together? Exactly what pump. How is your system set up? Whould it be cheaper than a store bought system? I dont think it...
Well I'm not sure. But I think the store bought one brand new, uses a hospital vaccume pump. Know anybody who works in maintaince at the hospital? Just not...
Hi Terry, I think you can get a bagging system for less than 550 if you're willing to source some of the stuff yourself. The most difficult part I had to...
You need to be careful with used hospital pumps as they could contain all sorts of germs, virii, etc.. At a minimum if you get a used hospital pump (GAST) I...
Sounds like Kevin and I are in agreement on the bag, pump and breather (I use cheap paper towels for the breather). One of the big advantages of using the Gast...
Here are some links I have saved over the years in prep for doing bagging. I also have the Barns video which I have watched a number of times while working...

Hi Guys, I am about to cut a set of Big Smooth Genie cores with the spars cut out on the CNC foam cutter. Does the spar extend all the way out to the tips from...
The spar extends the entire span of the center panel, but does not extend into any of the tip panels. The tips have the outboard joiner boxes only. See...
I've added triangle stock (TS) to the slab sides (SS), glued F1 and F2 to the right SS, glued in the deep rails in front of F2, filled the over-size slot in...
Hi Duane. . .thanks for the progress report. It's always good to see that a builder is sticking to the script! I think you meant to say "glued in the deep...
I had assumed that the exterior sheeting was oriented cross-grain, especially along the tail, for torsional stiffness. However, the scarf joints shown on the...
Duane. . .longitudinal is it. Along with the ply doublers over the CF laminate and then the rigidity imparted by the glassing over, the results are fine. Text...
Thanks, Harley. After reading through that section of the instructions again, I concluded the cross-grain 1/64" ply sub-decking would provide torsional...
Laser cutting of the longer rear section of the slab sides required having a little material at both ends of the 48" ply stock. This moved the splice line back...
Just received my new SGP cores from Anker and they are... Awesome! Anker, these are the best cores I have ever seen. Can't wait to get started! Thanks, Augie...
I thought I'd built my last ship, but Augie's mentioning getting cores from Anker, has me itching to do something this winter. Thing is, I have that new Big...
