    OT--Rock Anchors?

    Jeff, a cordless hammer drill should work fine although I"m not sure about the underwater part! I have used JB weld underwater and in freezing temps before and it has worked fine, real slow set-up time though! Have you considered using galvenized eye bolts instead of stainless? I you drilled a...

    U-bolt installation for Bow Eye - Your thoughts?

    Part of my issue Steve is the fact that I always buy at least 2 extra of any nuts washers etc. If I dont, I'm sure to lose at least one! I can justify it by double nutting some fasteners! I would set them aside, but I'd never find them when I needed them!

    U-bolt installation for Bow Eye - Your thoughts?

    Eric, yes I was saying one againt the other on the inner surface. The double nuts locking power shouldn't be affected by the space between the contact surfaces. That would be a matter of torque on the threads and compression of the "spacer". But the butted locking nuts shouldn't contribute. The...

    Trailer lights,,,,,,,,,,,, specifically back up lights

    Dave, Are these wired into your reverse lights of the tow vehicle? I don't believe I've ever seen back-up lights on a trailer (great idea though) of any sort.

    U-bolt installation for Bow Eye - Your thoughts?

    Steve, a valuable post as always! But since you asked for suggestions... I would either double nut, or use ny-lock nuts on the u-bolt. I have an unreasonable fear of something coming loose in an area I cannot easily access however!

    Sad news Gray's Sporting Journal has announced that 2026 will be their last year. And Sporting Classics is currently having financial problems.

    That is sad news Worth. I've been a subscriber for about 20 years now, and it's still the best literary publication out there.

    Winchester MDL 12 Heavy Duck

    FYI, I was there this weekend and took a first hand look at it, plain-jane with some surface wear as expected with some bluing missing in the carry area just forward of the receiver buy overall in nice shape. Bore looked fine, action tight etc.. Stock had minor wear and some light scratching...

    Hey Dave, I'm not familiar with the term "bulge head". Do you have a picture? Thanks

    Black cork question…

    Glues up just fine. I've used Contact cement, epoxy and Titebond 3 without issues. And Gorilla glue should be fine as well. Hand tools make the mess less!

    Another NDR post - Zodi Tent Heater

    I have one of the Vevor diesel heaters heating my project shed (12x16) and it does a pretty good job. i understand they make them for both 12V and 110 now. They will be fine with K-1 or Diesel. I belong to a couple forums on them as well, and the only consistent issues I see are when people try...

    Looking for a new boat

    Morning Mark, just a thought, have you given any thought to a skin on frame boat? https://gentrycustomboats.com/NewHomeBuilderPlans.html Might something like the motor canoe work?
