    Finally finished cutting the letter blanks today. I'm booked up with doc stuff for the next 2 days but I'm hoping to get the letters cleaned up and ready for paint after all the appointments are behind me. Again. :rolleyes:

    Unique. Uhhh... yeah, that's me all right! :lol: I'm hoping that I'll be able to do some more letter cutting tomorrow. Still not done with the big stuff. And it will all need cleaning and smoothing, etc. This is how the new aluminum blank will look once cut. I need my wife to do her paint...

    Last night I finally got all the jaggies off the master print file for the KF bird logo. Whew! :wacko: This evening we printed out the new logo and the boy glued it to a piece of 3/32" balsa wood that I had left over from my RC flying days. Then I cut it out with the scroll saw. Cutting...

    So where should I put this thing?

    Been very busy the last 2 days but finally have a little time to explain... :p I bought this all aluminum livewell seat with flip-flop back from craigslist for $50 yesterday. Brand new equivalents run about $400 so I'm a happy camper. I'll strip the paint and clean it up and make it shine...

    Yet another significant health relapse hit me 2 nights ago. Pretty much knocked me on my butt. :mad: :mad-new: Been having a tough time over the last 2 months but recently it got very intense, sapping my strength, stamina, energy and causing me to take a huge increase in my steroid dosage...

    Hurricane Michael

    Doesn't look like it'll hit in my area. Might get some rain. Florida panhandle likely to have landfall in the next couple days. Let's stay safe out there!

    Man, what a weird day today. :wacko: First - KF stuff. Got the trailer back from my bud. No welding done so I'll have to figure some things out. But at least I'll be rolling forward again! :lol: Now to the fishing report... Went out on the Gulf a short way today with Pontoon Guy and...

    Forgot to mention that I went fishing yesterday morning with my old buddy. Saltwater from the shore and we got skunked on the last 2 hours of a rising tide. Meh. :rolleyes: And tomorrow morning the boy and I are going fishing with the pontoon guy and his son. This morning I spent several...

    Pretty quiet week here this week. :blue: Contacted the laser lady and I was mistaken. She has a plasma cutter, not a laser cutter. So I decided to just cut the letters myself on my scroll saw. Ordered spiral blades which are out for delivery here today and should make for cleaner cuts and...

    No boat work today but we definitely kept busy. :D I was walking out to the garage this morning to start repairing the tractor when I received a text from my buddy asking if I'd like to borrow his Dixie Chopper ZTR with 72" deck to cut the grass. Oh HECK yes! Super easy, quick and I had a...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    I completed my testing this morning and definitely decided to go with the 3/32" thick aluminum. My wife saw how it looked and said it was perfect! :D So I'm good to go with next steps. I contacted the laser lady (neighbor) and gave her the info. She said that she could probably do the job and...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Success! :) Today I cut 3 test letters in 3 different sizes; 1/16" thick, 3/32" thick and 1/8" thick. Overall, I like the 3/32" thickness best. I placed each letter against the side of the hull and the 3/32" just looked "better" than the others. My buddy stopped by and he agreed that the...

    Time for an update. I've had a busy "doc" week this week which kept me from doing much. Appointments were in the morning and it is still stupidly hot here in the afternoons. Ugh.

    Here we go. Only took a few minutes. When the time comes I will either have a decal made or maybe a laser cut job using very thin aluminum. Time will tell. :joyous:
