Bob... Thank you! Coming from a guy who does woodwork as beautiful as yours I am truly flattered! You have made my day! The panels are actually cut from a single plank of teak.. cut in half lengthwise, resawed and bookmatched. They are butt glued along with biscuits for alignment and extra strength....

After two plus years of serious rebuild time I am looking at the little items.. such as LED flybridge courtesy lights.. has anybody installed them? I am thinking red/white combination lights.. I have already installed a two circuit on-off-on switch (same as the nav lights/anchor light switch) but I ...

As I understand things.. the paint we know as "Awlgrip" lays down in such a way that the pigment migrates to the bottom of the coating and a sort of clear coat rises to the top, leaving a sort of two layer effect. This is the reason repairs are very difficult.. Awlcraft 2000 (which is what my boat i...

Charlie...

I will be happy to build you a door.. anything for a new neighbor! I can't figure out how to post a picture of the one I built since the new Photobucket program came out. When I do I will post one here.

See you in about 10 days or so. Let me know if you need anything.

Bob... I am not a pro, just an amateur who has to do his own work. Capt Patrick is probably correct in that you probably don't need to be concerned, but I offer the following that I have done with larger raised panel doors. Paint the raised panels with a couple of coats of the final paint you plan t...

I read about a guy who was questioned why he named the boat he bought around the time he filed for divorce "FUJIMO". Someone thought it a Japanese term... not so!

His answer.. "F*** You Jane I'm Moving Out"!

Hope you feel better soon! We are all sending you good vibes and well wishes.

Russ... When I wanted to replace my air filters the Cummins dealer didn't have mine in stock, so I bought a two part cleaning kit.. lots cheaper. Part 1 is a cleaner that you spray on the filter.. it washes the dirt off. Part 2 is some kind of oil you spray on the clean filter.. it stays somewhat st...

I am with you! What I plan to do is find hopefully several guys with LED interior lights and see what they used and if they put out enough light.. and buy what I want based of their performance. I really can't see any other way.

If it curls just let it dry and when you are ready to apply it just flatten it by hand and tape it temporarily in place.

I never tried keeping it flat with pins, but that should do just fine.

Yeah.. but will you still love me when your project is done?
