Gee Rick,thanks!

Here is a link to the joint in question,just scroll down a bit
to "hollow":

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bolger/files/How%20To/

it has the rather pedestrian appellation of "HOLLOW JOINT" but I can
easily see myself becoming rather attached to your choice naming of
it :-)

Seeing as it was a method passed on to me freely many many years
ago,it would be terribly treacherous of me to presume or assume
royalities due.

Mind you,a well bundled and padded bottle of Port arriving in my mail
box would certainly be a treat,whatever the occassion :-D

I'm pleased you recalled this method and trust your new beam will
serve admirably its function,without failure,for many years to come.

If you didn't live so far away,I'd be inviting you over to my boat
shop where we could both decant some nice Port while I give you the
royal tour of Windermere...which may take some time as we would also
have to down a number of stinky cheeses and a bagette or
two.....rough life up here,I tell ya!

So.....tell us about your beam....how big and for which boat :-)


All the best!

Sincerely,

Peter Lenihan,aka "hollow man",resting heavily on my posterior while
a few pounds of excellent supper and a few goblets of wine become
better acquainted in the grand ballroom of my lower gut,from along
the dark shores of the raging St.Lawrence........
