Re: Move over Job...Dave is in town...
Right On! to that brother...but with safety goggles next time...I
just spent the afternoon at the eye doctors where with all his
contraptions and penetrations was bringing all to close of a feeling
as being Al Pacino or was it Dustin Hoffman(I get those two confused
all of the time) in the dentist chair scene in The Marathon Man.

Doug,
While epoxy and glassing the last end section to be done onto the
side of my Teal I had it upside down...somewhat of a yin/yang version
of a Pushme-Pullyou...and this was of course discovered after the
West System was in place and the plastic bags placed above and below
the joing with a sheet of ply over the joint and weighted down with
546 lbs of bricks and chunks of cement which all had to be
frantically removed and then I needed to new stuff and the latex
glove ripped and new cloth to be cut and clean plastic bags the
confined work space area and and and and and.................

Reminds me of the time.....
Building my Nymph - putting the last nail in the front frame to tie
the bottom to the front transom and POW!!!!! All of the the frames
shot out the bottom of the whole assembly. Hmmm... now I know why
Dynamite had sawhorses under each frame in the pictures.
Or the time....
My oldest son was holding the bilge panels on the back and I on the
front of the Nymph while my middle son drew a pencil line for
cutting. From the inside as he was too short to reach the top and,
egnineer that I am, I cut on the line! Gee, that's an awfully big
hole to fill.
And then there was the time.....
While working on my Nymph (are you beginning to see the theme?) I
flipped it over to remove the monster cleats I had put in with
drywall screws (no more wimpy nails for me!) and figured out that
with the bottom on I couldn't remove some of the screws 'cause they
were too close to the bottom and I couldn't get enough umph on the
screw driver to break them loose. Where's that hacksaw.....
Anyhow, after several more misadventures and time spent in the
moaning chair I am down to final paint and getting the sail ready. I
am glad I started with a small boat but chomping at the bit to get
onto another. ANYTHING can be fixed and what I learned will help a
lot later on.
Keep on cutting, sawdust makes great mulch.

Building my Nymph - putting the last nail in the front frame to tie
the bottom to the front transom and POW!!!!! All of the the frames
shot out the bottom of the whole assembly. Hmmm... now I know why
Dynamite had sawhorses under each frame in the pictures.
Or the time....
My oldest son was holding the bilge panels on the back and I on the
front of the Nymph while my middle son drew a pencil line for
cutting. From the inside as he was too short to reach the top and,
egnineer that I am, I cut on the line! Gee, that's an awfully big
hole to fill.
And then there was the time.....
While working on my Nymph (are you beginning to see the theme?) I
flipped it over to remove the monster cleats I had put in with
drywall screws (no more wimpy nails for me!) and figured out that
with the bottom on I couldn't remove some of the screws 'cause they
were too close to the bottom and I couldn't get enough umph on the
screw driver to break them loose. Where's that hacksaw.....
Anyhow, after several more misadventures and time spent in the
moaning chair I am down to final paint and getting the sail ready. I
am glad I started with a small boat but chomping at the bit to get
onto another. ANYTHING can be fixed and what I learned will help a
lot later on.
Keep on cutting, sawdust makes great mulch.

Well, you just graduated-----from the paranoia of the novice to an apprenticeship to the experienced old journeyman who knows that "critical" is relative. May it be so for you.

I DID IT!!!! I'M CONTINUING A THREAD (ALBEIT IN A VERY JAMES JOYCIAN
FASHION BUT WHY NOT FOR I HAD IRISH CREAM COFFEE THIS MORNING WITHOUT
ANY CREAM!!!!)WITHOUT STARTING A NEW NOTE!!!
Well, it's off to church tonight...non-papist of course...I'm a boat
builder now, for God's sake!...although there was those coracle
drifting monks...and it's not Quaker as I feel it possibly should be
in honor or Melville although when the Hungarian Reformed Minister in
his long black robe(trained in a Presbyterian Seminary) takes to the
pulpit, it's very reminiscent of that scene in Moby Dick of the the
church service...tonight though is "Contempory Service" night and
we'll have the young seminary student in blue jeans and a southern
accent preaching tonight...so no slipping through Descartesian Planes
of spiritual ecstacy...but then again I do attend a Buddhist Sangha
on Monday nights that rents space in a Society of Friends Meeting
House...do you think Buddha was more of a working boat kind of person
or cocktail party pleasure crafter...speaking of Christianity and
boatbuilding...my fundamentalist Christian neighbor laughed at me
today when I told her that I was building a boat...to which I
responded with the "They laughed at Jesus you know... and if you had
the faith the size of a mustard seed you could walk away acrossed the
water from my sinking boat...and I think my lobster bisque made with
coconut milk is buring in the pot and when all else fails chop water
and carry wood and drink this Gougeon Goo for it is my blood and here
eat this Okoume for it is my body...
Always,
