vIC , WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OD THE TIMBER IN THE FRAME. i CAME HOME TODAY WITH A 4000X190X40 PIECE of douglas fir(that oregon pine for the boilermakers) and wondered if it wil fit the bill
.
quik question vic . are the flat corner brackets on top and bottom or just top? cutting flat bar this week
you were asking about tanning the sails. charlotte needed to tan a comicon costume this week so she filled a large pot,10l with eucalypt(torquate) bark which she boiled for 2 hrs then dropped in the cloth, oak for 1 hr then rinse in cold water.I would get a lot o dark jarrah bark, drop it through a mulcher,then boil up in a old bathtub or 44. worked brilliantly for charlotte
Hi Paul
I have them top and bottom as I considered it a week point.
Thanks for the big bottle opener it looks sharp
I noticed some nice strait 4"diam jarah and karie trees near my place I am thinking about trying one for a mast
ive just gone through the stick you gave me vic,Just how did you manage to build the yacht from that info.(has a virus on the stick too) looks like I'm going to be ringing every couple of days. I should just come back with a pad and tape.plan to start with the timer frame and those brackets.maybe make some own size decisions
Hey guys,
Nice to be here to discuss with you ! I just want to let you know I yet built it in 2011... at half scale with RC stuff ! Sorry I have to dig in my old computer and I'll send you more pics than my avatar.
Tell me if you even come to France !
Regards,
Patrick
Hi Pete.
