I was wandering around a "shop sale" full of odds, ends and random plumbing fittings when I tripped over an ammo box. Hmm. Wonder what's in that? Wow! Turns out the guy used to build boats. He only wanted to sell the lot. I figured it was way more than I needed and walked away empty handed. <BR/><BR/>But I kept thinking about them, and after looking at prices online, I went back the next day and they were still there. I told my wife, “Well I can always sell the one's I don't need on ebay.” She smiled. I always say that, and I have never sold anything on ebay. But in my defense, how will I know which ones I don’t need until I use them?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and they are not sitting completely idle – I did clean the rust off them…now they’re awake and calling to me…<BR/><BR/>Bob R. – <BR/><BR/>A canoe would be sweet. I have vague plans (just ideas really) for a lapstrake version. But I think I am leaning towards a Rangeley Lake boat. Hmm. Another lapstrake design? I’m not sure, but I don’t think I’d need caulking irons for those…I guess dreams don’t have to be logical…Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-48247542560455607182009-04-01T04:11:00.000-08:002009-04-01T04:11:00.000-08:00I'm with you Dan!

Though I really have no plans for a large boat, I do have a cedar strip canoe on the list.Bob Rozaieskihttp://www.logancabinetshoppe.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-75874307165387342542009-04-01T02:41:00.000-08:002009-04-01T02:41:00.000-08:00Dang!!You already have more caulking irons than mo...Dang!!<BR/><BR/>You already have more caulking irons than most boat builders. You shouldn't let them sit idle. Get busy on that boat!Bob Eastonhttp://bob-easton.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
