    Some good stuff happening

    Well guys, we had a great but too short visit with my daughter here. She and my wife got to know each other a bit more, did the girl bonding thing and ended up telling tales about me to each other! :eek: :lol: December was pretty frantic for me and only yesterday did I have enough "alone...

    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    Thanks for the advice guys! I did pick up the steering wheel today. The seller was kind enough to actually drive it 20 miles to the VA Hospital where I had an appointment this morning. Then he knocked 5 bucks off the price too, so only $20 for this nice 16" wheel! :D Oh yeah, the seller...

    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    Thanks for the support, guys! Much appreciated! :joyous: Being a patient is what gives me patience. :crutch: :lol: QUESTION: Would this stainless steering wheel be appropriate for my Chieftain? The Chief doesn't have a steering system in it at all right now. I've been planning on using...

    Some good stuff happening

    Went fishing today. Caught nothing. "Not a creature was stirring..." :lol: But at least we got out there. Had my daughter with us this time too. She's not been out in a boat (of my own) with me in 20 years.

    Need some furniture repair advice

    And this morning I got a new problem. I asked the boy (10 y.o. stepson) to measure the cart dimensions. When he finished measuring the raised leaf, he tried to just push it down instead of unlatching it underneath. When the leaf resisted, he put his full weight on it to force it down. And...

    Need some furniture repair advice

    I'm a tinhead! No fiberglass! :lol: :peep: I got pretty close! I started out buying this brand new steel cart but it looks really tacky for the dining room and was a bit small, so I opted for the much larger oak cart. We'll move the steel cart out to my new steel garage once the oak cart is...

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

    While out and about chasing down furniture for my home project, I also picked up these trolling motor connectors for the Kingfisher. Got 'em on craigslist for 15 bucks. Saved some money there! It'll be sometime after the New Year before I get around to installing them. Not exactly sure...

    Some good stuff happening

    Yeahh... I know. Been so busy that I haven't had time to get the stuff outta the KF and rearranged in the garage. But I did send the garage speakers back! They just couldn't perform on the bottom end. Sigh. Me likes me bass! :blue: My daughter arrives from up north tomorrow for a 6 day...

    Need some furniture repair advice

    Yesterday we picked up this used solid oak microwave cart from craigslist. The price had been $100 for several days then suddenly dropped to $25 so we jumped on it. It's a good sized unit and will work well for our application. Picked it up after dark and didn't notice any damage... until one...

    '69 offshore rebuild- BMerr

    These aluminum boats use the deck, stringers, ribs, gunnels etc. and the hull skin to provide structural integrity. The foam provides no strength at all. Most on here don't use the poured foam. And as ezmobee said, the pool noodles are iffy. Adding aluminum cross members would help provide even...

    Some good stuff happening

    I know, I know. Gotta watch having storage out there. But all that stuff is actually mine! Much of it is related to my RC airplane hobby (which I've now left behind other than a couple of uncompleted planes) and lots of miscellaneous hardware and tools. Once I get some shelves up, most of that...

    Some good stuff happening

    Okay, I totally scrapped the idea of installing a semi-permanent paver block patio inside the garage and took all the blocks back for a refund this morning! A week ago I was thinking that I needed more than 40 blocks so the next day the boy and I went back to HD and picked up an additional 20...

    Some good stuff happening

    Here's the hobby room as it is tonight. Tomorrow we have to get the junk out, move the tables and hutch in and arrange everything. Might need to buy a small carpet for under the table too. Most of that stuff is tools and supplies, including piles of boat stuff that aren't visible in the...
