  1. Hmmmm ! I always knelt in the bottom a canoe with my tush resting against a thwart. Never sat in the bottom of a canoe. Wonder what paddling from that position is like. Anyway, beautiful looking canoe, Chris. Great job building her.
  2. Just to let you all know, the boat building is on hold while I do some outdoor work on my 25 year old wood fence which is slowly disintegrating with age. Have to replace several 8 ft long panels, cannibalize usable pickets to replace rotted/broken pickets, and deal with short supplies at the lumberyards. Lumber prices have soared at least 200%, quality is down, what used to be a 48 inch (4 foot) height is now 42 inch (3.5 foot) height. Grrrr! So before the heat and humidity get prohibitive it's time to make repairs.
  3. Looking good from here. Sorry about the MIA part.
  4. You will need to get some Pampers for her then. 😁😁😁😁😇 Sorry! Just couldn't resist ! 😉😊 Looks nice Chris
  5. Who is your friend there on the deck with you ? 😉 Very nice looking work. A masterpiece.
  6. Ah, good ! I get the best seat this time . 😉🙂🍿🍺
  7. I guess that's why they call them "trestle table", you could drive a train over them or a team of oxen pulling a hay wagon.
  8. My Admiral would kill for a table like that ! 😃🤪 Beautiful table
  9. Your farm table closely resemble what we here in The Colonies call a "picnic table", which are in just about every public park/beach/playground area here. And in some private backyards.
  10. The Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) School of Photography started a project in 1987 called Big Shot which created photographs on a grand scale painted with flashlights, flash bulbs and strobs. See the link for their examples.
  11. Yes I tried color in the home darkroom and after much frustration and failed attempts concluded it was way cheaper to send my 35 mm color negatives or slides/transparencies directly to Kodak and have them make an 8x10 color, or larger, print for me than doing it myself. So the home darkroom was strictly B&W.
  12. Back in the days of film, ISO/ASA 50 film had a much finer grain than ISO 200. Most Pros and serious Amateurs used Kodachrome 25 because of grain issues.
  13. They don't. The plier cradle is 12 " long x 3.75 " wide x 0.25 " thick stock, bar is 0.25" thick by 1.25 " wide The piece for the exacto knives and tweezers is 1.5 " wide x 18 " long by 2" high. Holes were drilled with a 3/8 " Forstner bit.
  14. The New York State Police Air Unit used to fly that exact model used in Air Wolf.
  15. There was also Air Wolf ! EG, I'm lurking over here with The Shadow. 😉😊🤫
  16. My daughter had a gas fired heater just like that hanging in her garage when she bought the house. Some previous owner had installed it. I remember seeing old auto garages like the one in photo when I was a kid. Great work on your diorama.
  17. I have a very good friend who many years ago completely lost the index and middle finger on his right hand to a table saw accident. Ever try to pick something up with your thumb and ring finger and pinky? Or hold a pen or pencil with a missing index and middle finger? Think about the advice everyone is giving you !
