captainbob Posted March 1, 2013 Share #152 Posted March 1, 2013 Looking good, Popeye. It looks to me that you have made so much catching lobsters that you were able to buy a new boat. Well done I say. Well done indeed. Bob Quote Every build is a learning experience.

Jim Lad Posted March 1, 2013 Share #155 Posted March 1, 2013 Popeye, Fishermen often take a lot of pride in the condition of their boats. Look at the state of general maintenance on these lobster boats moored amongst the yachts at Perkins Cove. And I remebered this parking restriction sign - obviously put up just for you!

popeye the sailor Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share #157 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) this is the reason why I didn't weather the boat......it's so confusing. I'll do a bit more to the traps anyway.

popeye the sailor Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share #164 Posted March 8, 2013 While I've been playing around with the AmericA build, I took a little time to work up the buoys for the traps. the ones supplied in the kit are too big..... I took different size dowel and cut up a bunch of billets. I don't have near enough of the really small dowel.......so I scaled up just a little.....I have plenty of bamboo skewers. I was going to drill through to the other end, but I didn't have a way to get them on center, so I just drilled one end. After shaping them with my dremel......I had to sand them the rest of the way.....I made eight of them. I already put the first color on one of them after they were all sanded, they were painted the first color then they were given the second color later I will band them with white, and paint the eyebolt on the end, a flat black. I'll have the five for the traps, and extras to stow in the compartments with some rope. I hope to find some time tomorrow to make other fittings for the lobster boat. as far as the Phylly C .......I didn't do much with her at the moment. I did manage to pair up the skis and paint them. I want to do a bit more to them, as well as the bindings. I'm still thinking of other aspects to put in the build.......I'll get back to these two soon!
