all up and working as they should be again, sorry about that, I was in a meeting.

think of the bridges Broad Ambition could get under with that much fuel on board, you will have bigger tanks than most broads boatyards, can you buy it cheaper by getting the tanker in to deliver it direct?

you will have to be careful when Griff visits, or you may find pieces missing and matching wood grain on the bottom of Broad Ambition.

definitely a dingy (as opposed to a dinghy)

so after scoffing my tea, and posting here a bit, it was back out to the fray, the edges needed straightening, so I tried planing it - horrible, the belt sander finally got 4 pieces straight to each other. These were marked so I knew where to line them up. and then the first piece was given an acetone wipe, allowed to dry, then both sides of the joint were spritzed with a mist of water, glue was applied and spread, and using packers to protect the wood from the clamps it was clamped in place, it will now sit until tomorrow night clamped up.

Tim, the vikings had the right idea about stools and tables - 3 legs, the floor is always level enough with just 3 legs.

what - a pint in each hand?

filler sanded down while my dinner was cooking, ready for pretty planks now

I would think a message to JanetAnne with the address you want it sent to should work.

pumpkins, in case he gets peckish.

small amount of filler mixed up and applied across the transom to fill any small gaps prior to fixing the decorative wood, left out in the worksop to cure, it will be sanded flush tomorrow, then I can get on with the pretty stuff.

Still not letting my sliced thumb stop me working, I went ahead and sanded the transom, just a little skim to fill in the joints, and then I can start fixing the decorative teak transom.

excess planking and spare thumb trimmed off the transom of the model yes I slipped with the saw and sliced my thumb, nice sharp mini japanese style saw.

I wish you well in your endeavours and with your independance, sounds like you have achieved your aims, may you have many good trips onboard.

didnt have rabbit skin glue until the romans introduced the bunnies.

some days I think that I would be moving faster on the broads in a boat, than on the M25 queuing for the dartford tunnel

what is needed is a set of these, no - they are not for sale, they are my only set of 1/4"BSW 20TPI camera tripod thread.

The waney edge is the edge that was outside of the log, sometimes with the bark still on it, the name derives from the wane on the edge- this is a gradual decrease (as in the wane of the moon (the moon waxes and wanes)). thus it is a board cut with at least one edge decreasing in width along the length - technically as it has been processed less, it should be cheaper than fully machined timber.

hmm just tried it and it took me straight to paypal (sorry charlie I backed out without clicking continue). mind you I dont understand these apple things, maybe its got a maggot or something else bugging it.

thats strange, it should take you to paypal.

to be honest I have barely left the forum for more than a few hours during the day today - been sneaking in while I was working, and as facebook is blocked at work, have been using my tablet to keep up on there too. I will hopefully get a bit more work done tomorrow as the rest of my team there are off and I am covering 3 peoples work there (I still managed about 2 peoples work as well as keeping up to date on the forum)

we can get all of the tech team telling you to behave too if you want Gracie.

well we could use cascamite, but it takes forever to set, then goes brittle - or that smelly stuff in a pot you heat up. nah, I will go with the gorilla thanks, anyway tonight its the last 2 awkward transom planks, they are in place and setting.

yes the DNS change is slowly filtering down to everyone. glad you are in now.

I have had very cheap (£10) dash cams in my car - resolution isnt great, but the current one was a £30 one from lidls, that works great, plugs into the lighter socket, fires up when the car is started, and gets a decent enough image.
