Steve, What needle do you use? Joe

Rich G - Interesting as 10 year ago the shop class rooms in Nassau County were dismantled and the rooms converted to computer rooms. It appears that high schools believe that everyone will go to college and no one will have to build homes or do electrical work or repair cars. Guessing the...

AC exterior for the frames. Havent decided what I will use for the deck. Joe

Fitting frames with a deck on is a tough job. I know you can do it. Have to make a motor board next. Joe

Frames are roughed and have one coat of epoxy

License came in the mail today. Renewed interest in gunning ducks. I almost forgot why I was rebuilding the duck boat. Joe
