Few things in the world measure up to the thrill and satisfaction of boating in a boat that you built.

Wow, that is rather harsh, even for me! I think I will go up there and borrow it, with all good intentions of paying him back when I have the money, I will even write a proper IOU..wonder if he would feel any better about that?

I thought there was a place in billings but I cannot seem to find it again..hmmmmm...

Actually, in speaking with Frank, I believe he got his material from a supplier in Wash.. I PM'd his email address so you can reach out to him

what ya building Steve?

Even though he has spoke about being hold up in the woods somewhere out west, wood is not really good for a bunker but has work for a temporary shelter. I wonder if he could just recycle this one. Its unused right now in Montana.

No where in here did Steve say he was going to actually "Build" a boat!

That sounds like it would be a real explosive idea

Just my opinion, but I think its kinda fitting for the guy! Drives by and lobs a grenade and goes.....

AWW...all the guy wants to do is rub two sticks together to keep warm...winters coming you know and he's not used to the cold!!!

Back to the subject,wasn't there a site,woodfinder or something, that you could look up wood in your area?

Boat? Heck I didn't say anything about a B O A T !!! I am trying to build some Kneelers for a church and maybe a cap rail for an iron divider and fun stuff like that! The fact that I get used to workign with mahogany is just a bonus !!!

(Plus if I can order enough extra and charge it to the church I can have enough to make that 28 foot barrel back I have been dreaming about?) So I throw out the fifth commandment...that always gets in the way anyway! ...come to think of it so does that adultery one...hmmmm

I already have them considering letting me order 5 gallons of epoxy for these kneelers...it is GLen-l church supply on the invoice !!! LOL

Steve

I actually wasn't thinking you were building a boat I was just wondering what it was you were building. It sounds like a nice project Steve.

Nova SS...that is cuz you know me better than that! Me build a BOAT? Yeah right!
Someday maybe......

Steve

I was working with some honduran mahogany doors and I used Sikkens Cetol 1 and Cetol 23. The finish comes out beautiful. I wonder if you could use that on a wooden boat that would not stay in the water...I think it is oil base...amazing finish! Then if you hit it with a clear coat it would be awesome!

Sort of sounds like me, someday I might actually get one done too...



My nephew uses that on his log house. It is beautiful stuff indeed. I love the way it goes on and how quickly it builds up, so to speak. I bet on a boat that is trailered it would be fine. I think Sikens has a clear coat for their products but dont hold me to that.

BUT I do know they make a marine version of Cetol.

You are right, the build up is amazing. I will check into the marine version, and I do believe they have a clear coat as well. I might have stumbled onto something!

Floating furniture! Motor and all!
