Thad Allen's Apache + The Birth of the Cheetah Cat

[Offshore Ginger]

Alright you old farts!!!
I'm not kidding!!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nobody can put up with what a tough job you do, blah,blah,blah....
And I ain't exactly a young buck at 38.
I'm not afraid to work hard and bust my back and my azz.
Spent 15 yrs working construction, and then construction died (we won't go political as to why) and I had to find a new profession in optics - and I hate my job.

I have a love for the boats.
Send me a plane ticket and I'll be in your shop, ready to work.
I got nothing to lose - nor do you.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I, agree !!! Steve i love this part because people on this forum are getting a general idea of a Mack up and everything that is involved .

Here is the beauty of this system where the Planks end Join just use a "Butt Block" and face screw them until the epoxy cures that simple clamp is a piece of 1/2" PVC Pipe that fits in the Cove. Amazing thing was it is like "self-Fairing" when the screws are removed.

I planked up past the crease and used a laser to mark the line then cut the planks off on the line then started up again with a dead straight fold in the side. Just as DA would want it.

what about using something like a spline or "biscuit" joint on the butt joint instead of a backer?

Steve, what if you stopped capitalizing every third random word? What if you only capitalized the first word of a sentence and any proper nouns only? That would be the Bomb. It would save you tons of Shift key work for no apparent Reason.

The bead and cove joint is stronger with the epoxy adhesive than the Parent core material!

 

[Steve 1]

Here is what I was referring to by the crease. You can see it is straight.
