Greg Jensen replied to Guy Fredrickson's discussion Guy's Wooden Drift Boat Project
"Guy - Looks really good, but just a word of caution. It appears that you have a knot tied in the end of your anchor line. This is REALLY BAD!!! Untie the knot so that if you ever get in trouble with your anchor, you can just let all of the line run…"

Greg Jensen replied to Jon Darrohn's discussion Lap Joint vs. traditional scarf for joing two big bottom pieces
"The scarf joint will be MUCH stronger than the lap joint. Expecially on the bottom wher there will me much more pressure and torque forces in play. I used a router for all of my scarfs, and once you get the initial cut done, you will never worry…"
