I think I'll stick to simple, "Quick and dirty", plywood, "Box Boats" I get enough "Detail Work" building funiture. I try not to have to do a lot of bending, but have done it. Built a "Sleigh Bed"

Hello Larry- Nice little boat, looks like fun. What's that you're using for a sail? Doesn't anybody here use a Bolger sail on their Bolger boat? <g> -- John

I've moved the photos of Chris and his baby tender to the members boat directory. I'm a neatness fanatic when it comes to computers-- but you should see my house! <g> --

Thanks John, That is a free-from-a-neighbor's-barn (lots of old barns and sheds up here) mast and sail that belonged to some long-dead styrofoam daysailer. Had to redo the mast step/thwart

Does anyone know if there is a place in Portland area that you can buy the oddball stuff for building boats? Specifically, I am trying to track down some copper rivets, ran out. I can mail order

try Wink's Hardware. I'm not sure how Chandlery-oriented they are but the tend to be known for having lots of various hardware. Beaver Bolt? they probably don't have any, but they might. Maybe

I would agree with Bryn. Winks carries some pretty odd things. Riverswest would seem the best bet. They use those things. It seems like there is a place called The Chandlery out by the Colulmbia,

Thanks gang.

Well, Did you find them, and if so, where? Pat

No, just saying thanks. I will check Wink's. My local Ace is unfortunately full of idiots. They have no clue what a rove is. I have mail ordered what I need, but like I say, want a local source

I went into my Ace Place today to get some plumbing parts and they do have copper rivets. You might have to go look for yourself. Their's were next to the nuts and bolts in the little pull out tray

The ICM Restaurant in Florence has agreed to host the antique motors again this year. They're near the head of the gangway going down to the commercial docks, just a bit upstream from Mo's. We

I've put some more photos of the mighty Gray into the files

Larry- So how does the Nymph sail? About as well as you'd expect, like Pat's Elegant Punt, or better? I'm sure it _seems_ like it's going real fast anyway. <g> My friend Steve built a $200 Sailboat,

Now that we've got two of these little Devils maybe we can get them together and have "Western Oregon Messabout Cup" match race. "Ahrgg" The Loser's Head is the trophy. I would be interested in

John, (appologies to those who have seen a similar post on the Bolger list) The picture I posted in the files is from her maiden sail. As tippy as she was when we got in I more than half expected to

Larry- I built my 6-Hour Canoe out of lauan and it's still going, but the 6-Hour Canoe is pretty heftily framed. I was a bit shocked by how easily I could break the scraps! I used 1/8" lauan for the

Pat- The sail I have is for a Brick/Teal/Surf..., I don't recall the dimensions. I got it cheap from Cameron Sails because they were trying to get me to sell them. I didn't pursue that (Payson and

http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/ Nice "Cover Story" by Larry Barker. Well done. Photos by John Ewing. Very nice. (sorry if I missed any more credits) Larry hadn't blown his own horn here. Don't
