Would Bruce Hector really build an aircraft carrier? I've seen his idea proposal to Bolger and it certainly looks interesting but the cost would be huge, maybe the rust prevention business is more lucrative and not as time consuming as one thought!!!!

As a side note maybe Bruce should checkout the Australian built version of the WWII Fiesler Storch STOL aircraft especially the one with a 2.0 Litre, 5 or 7 cylinder(Not sure about that,from memory)radial engine in the camoflague paint work for his "Fleet Air Arm".I think the can supply it in 'Kit' form.

They do have a website but I can't remember the address offhand so you'd have do do a web search.



Then, of course, he might still
design an Aircraft Carrier. And,
if he did, Bruce Hector would build
it!

Did you know that the Rose was at a shipyard in Boothbay, Maine
getting some bottom palnks replaced? I remember seeing her there all
last summer.

My son saved me the same poster you can almost smell the salt and hear
the creak of the rigging. I wonder if anybody sent a copy to Mr. Bolger.

We got a full size poster with our newspaper a couple of weeks ago
with a very moody picture of the ship. Ah, advertising. I don't know
how much hope to have for the movie. The A&E Hornblower series was
worth about at B-, I thought.

I think most Hollywood moguls don't think the big audience is very
interested in 19th century naval warfare, so I look for the love
interest to be played up big.

Had the same feeling re Crowe vs Jack's robust physique, but suspect Mr.
Crowe is such a good actor he'll manage to convey a balanced impression of
stout/active Jno. Aubrey....

The original Rose was used in New England by the British during the
Revolutionary War. This is a case of typecasting as the Rose was a
1760's 28 gun Frigate as is the Surprise, Aubrey's ship. Casting Crowe
as Aubrey is a little off, Aubrey was built like John Goodman not
Russell Crowe.

My guess is that it is the largest
of his designs to have been built.

I believe the 'Margaret Mead' design
is larger (?) [but never built.]

Then, of course, he might still
design an Aircraft Carrier. And,
if he did, Bruce Hector would build
it!

Yes, Sue, and besides that, it slices, dices, and makes Julienne Fries.

But is it also a dessert topping?

Susan Davis <futabachan@...>
I've used it for coating steel and iron surfaces too. Another use. My
father used J&J paste wax for what he called "poor man's French
polish. After a coat or two of clear urethane coating, get the finest
steel or bronze wool you can find, put some paste wax on it and rub
gently into wood. Finish by wiping and then buffing with a clean
cotton cloth or buffing pad.

That stuff is also a Godsend for coating table saw tables, drill press
columns, and any other iron surface that would otherwise rust in the 100%
humidity common in this area. Smear it on, let dry for a few minutes, then
wipe off as much as you can. Preheating the iron with a hair dryer would

Bruce, thanks, I'll buy the book. I have seen everything in the database and am impressed but it doesn't let me into his mind and reasoning. I think the book will help. Maybe previous articles will also.

Start with his last book, still in print:
_Boats with an Open Mind_

This Yahoo group has a database that
shows about 2/3rds of the PCB & PBF designs.
...click around, you will find it :)

Perhaps 50% of the designs have been
featured in the magazine _Messing About
In Boats_, and most (all?) of these articles
are available as 'reprints', for cheap,
directly from the publisher Bob Hicks.

The real advantage to parafin is that (if you use a colored candle) you can see wether or not it has migrated as lighter or oilier substance will do.
I have a question. Peter just pointed out the dif btwn Champ. and Wndmr. Can someone recommend Books on Bolgers designs. I have Common Sence Designs and Paysons Books but nothing on Bolger.

Sincerely,
Don Tyson

Consider using a Wing nut for the embedded fastener. Otherwise sounds

I want to embed a stainless steel nut and bolt in epoxy such that the nut stays
permanently in the epoxy but the threads of the nut and bolt are clean, allowing the
bolt to be screwed in and out:

1. Clean and degrease the stainless steel nut and bolt meticulously.

2. With a cotton swab, carefully "paint" the threads of the nut and bolt with a light
coat of cooking oil.

3. Thread the bolt into the nut to the required depth and position them in the cavity
that the nut will be sealed in.

4. Fill the cavity with (slightly thickened) epoxy.

5. After epoxy sets, unscrew and screw the bolt arbitrarily.

Does that make sense?

Marc.
