  1. Trying to think back a couple months.... I basically had the overhand knot of the strop tied before I slipped it over the block. If you're having problems, tweezers and alligator clips are your best friends. See if you can locate a set of mounted alligator clips. They come in a set of at least two mounted to a pedestal, some even come with a built on magnifying glass. Andy
  2. As long as you don't .. Uh.. bond...over crazy glue... Sorry....couldn't help myself... Andy
  3. It's one thing to stick your nose out the door and go "*sniff* Hmmm cold out..." and the retreat back inside.. Try having to clear frozen sounding pipes, valves and other plumbing work, when the contents of said plumbing would prefer not to exist in a liquid state... Oh yeah... Did I mention that at the same time you yourself has also been forced to endure said frigid temperatures for several hours and most likely due to the aforementioned issues are also soaked to the skin (yet the outer layers of your clothing has begun to freeze).... "Man up"..... Yeah... Sure... You first... Andy
  4. I have to go up to Thunder Bay tomorrow... The forecast has it -14 C in the morning..... **chatter*** Andy
  5. Hey.. I only poked... It was your "buddy" Mobbsie that suggested a whack... **looks around innocently** Andy
  6. That's what I'm afraid of Yeah... Cold... I'll be packing the thermal clothes.... Someone forgot to turn on spring this year... Andy
  7. You need to check out Petrus' scratch build O19, he's got a whole history lesson on his father's service (and a photo of the Java) Andy
  8. **Pokes at Sjors with a stick** Of course we can wait. We've been waiting patiently so far, we can continue do so. Andy
  9. What? Not a tug? Is the world turned upside down? Andy
  10. Here are a couple sites you can use to follow the ships: http://www.greatlakes-seaway.com/en/navigating/map/index.html That one deals exclusively with the St. Lawrence Seaway and Welland canal http://ais.boatnerd.com/ That one covers most of the Great Lakes. Andy
  11. Great.... Now the natives are restless... Somebody better start sawing logs to settle 'em down.... Andy
  12. I think people don't realise the true cost of keeping a museum ship, let alone restoring one. It's easily in the millions of $$ per year, and unless there's some kind of public support, most good natured intentions are doomed to fail. Andy
  13. If you check out the home page, head over to the "articles and downloads" section. Under "tools and materials" is the list. Andy
  14. Soon, if we keep that up,he shall be known as "The ego that walks like a man" Andy
  15. Very nice! Although looking at you last photo... For some reason I had the overwhelming urge to shout "Pull Up! For the love of god Pull Up!" Andy
  16. Shhhhhh! Don't encourage them! And that goes for you too Sjors.... I'll be watching you from afar... I know who starts all the "trouble" around here.. Andy
  17. One day, I swear, those paint bottles will organize, and rise up against their oppressor... Andy
