I would try to sell the project and give someone else a head start on a Malahini and then start an inboard.

Hello fellow Arkie, I live in Harrison and have a boat on Bull Shoals at Peel. You need to build a Malahini because I am about to pull the trigger on one too. I need the moral support! Welcome to the forum.

And she can build a pretty mean airplane too.

I belong to an airplane forum and have enjoyed it more than almost every other forum I have joined. One of the main reasons is the topic of discussion has to be about nothing but a specific type of plane and items related to that plane. There is no water cooler or off topic place to post other unrel...

More than one guy shot a hole in the roof of our range after he 'polished' his trigger. Especially shooting when your fingers are cold! Or your whole body is shivering. Stick with the 8 Lbs it came with and you'll never face anybody in court over 'modifying' a weapon. I am a tool and die maker and ...

Dave, I can't remember if I polished the trigger any or not but mine is very competitive in local shoots. The 4 inch barrel will hurt a little but mostly depends on the person doing the shooting.

That SA EMP is a very nice pistol Roberta. My son has that in a 40 caliber. I carry a Sig 938 9 MM myself just because it is a little smaller and I am height challenged to say the least and the smaller pistol is easier to conceal for me. My son is lucky as he lives in Oklahoma and they have open car...

I have a 686 with a 6 inch barrel. I bought it new about 15 years ago. I load wad cutters and shoot it quite a bit. It is by far my favorite revolver. Super accurate too. You are going to love this gun.

Thanks Bill. Working upside down shouldn't be a problem for me. I am a mold maker so everything I do is backwards or reversed.

Received the book on Monday and read it cover to cover. There sure is a lot of information to learn. I think when I get my plans and study them things will become more clear. Looks like I will be reading a lot back and forth between the plans and book. It would help if I knew more about boat termino...

What would be a good choice to replace white oak? I am in Arkansas and am limited on sources for lumber.

You are probably right. I am afraid finding the proper materials may be a challenge here in North Arkansas. We do have lots of white oak though.

I ordered the book yesterday "Boatbuilding with plywood" so I can learn what I am getting into before I order my Malahina plans. It might be good that I know what a chine or breast hook is before I start to build a boat.

Seems like a common thread of building airplanes and boats. I knew Roberta long before coming to this forum from my time spent on the RV airplane plane forum. I will never forget the feeling I Had when I walked away from the plane that I spent nearly 8 years building after delivering it to the new o...

I talked to a salesman at Grizzly about bandsaws one time and he told me some were good and some models were not. I forget now the ones he recommended.
