    What's On Your Workbench? September

    I don't know that I would drive 28 hours to see it, lol but it is a pretty awesome two days that's for sure. If you could somehow book it into a 3 or 4 Day Rd. trip and maybe do a little rail bird shooting or fishing along the way it would probably be worth it.

    NDR: Table pour

    I've done a few. The biggest concerns are making sure you contain your epoxy and I do mean contain. It will seep out the smallest crack. Also give any raw wood edges a pre-coat first. This helps eliminate air bubbles which are always a pain. Use a heat gun (best) or torch to level and remove...

    I Need to Vent

    I would think with metal siding you could probably get something to fit in between the ribs pretty nicely. Then I would paint it to match the exterior. Given the parameters of the roof I think this would be the best option.

    Form and Ecology of the Barnegat Bay Sneakbox

    That was a great read! Yes many burnt their forms to keep others from getting them. It was a matter of pride. We still have lots of cedar and some darn fine boats and bay men still around. It's a unique place I'm to be apart of.

    I Need to Vent

    I'd probably go with option three if cost wasn't a concern. Going up and out the roof I think is always your best bet. If you wanted to tackle it yourself I will go with option two and go out the gable end. They have some pretty nicely camouflaged vent options nowadays. What is your exterior...

    Hand built wooden boat

    I had a very similar boat for a few years. I think I sold it for $500 or $600 back in the early 2000s. And that was with fresh paint and some repairs. A good one man boat. But a little bit on the small side if you have a dog and a lot of gear

    Double Ender restoration

    If you do decide to plank, you can use a flexible sealant such a Sika flex in place of cotton batting for your seams. It has some give and stretch which is what you want as the wood moves. I used it on my cedar plank scull restoration last year and It has held up well. You can tape your...
