lhedrick replied to Dave Z's discussion 'Dust Control Systems'
As for sanding like Ray mentioned, Festool. A person at my old shop had Festool sanding equipment and it worked great. It's expensive but, the best you can get.
I have a 1 HP 2 bag system which will handle 1 major tool at a time,…
lhedrick replied to ray magnan's discussion 'winter project laminated sitka spruce DB oars'
I have a freind who has a set of Barkley Sound Sitka Spruce oars. The best feeling oars I have ever touched. The shafts were thicker then other oars leaving little room for a cord wrap with Cobra locks. He used nylon seatbelt webbing…
lhedrick replied to Roger Rippy's discussion 'Durback removal'
I really like DB and I really hate removing it. It's like sanding a rubber tire.
I am surprised to hear that is was pealing off. I didn't think that was possible.
I get 40 grit disks which are used to grind steel before…
lhedrick replied to Roger Fletcher's discussion 'Funny looking drift boat'
Looks like your wood working skills go way beyond boats. I'm sure your granddaughter will never forget and will pass it to her daughter one day if she has one. Craftsmanship given as gifts are worth far more the anything else we…

Brad,
I am supprised I have never come accross this resin in the past few years since I am always looking. I have a need for a resin and fabric to be used on some flexible membranes. This might be the stuff I need.
Do you have…
lhedrick replied to Loren Turnquist's discussion 'Fasteners'
Loren,
I use micro pins and 18 gauge brands now and then to hold things in place until epoxy cures but not for what you are describing.
I would prefer screws over pins, nails or staples for this application.
lhedrick replied to Steve Jaccaud's discussion 'CHINE WOOD'
Ray,
The Ipe I have used for other projects is very dense. My questions are will is bond well with a scarff using epoxy? How does it bend?
I have seen it used for outdoor tables and benches. It seems to handle weather…
lhedrick replied to Greg Jensen's discussion 'Help - System 3 Silver Tip epoxy'
Just a note on epoxy.
1.5 quarts of gel magic is around 60 dollars(plus shipping and/or tax). That's over 160 per gallon. In general epoxy is mostly manufactured by large chemical corporations like Huntsman chemical who…

Jim Rubino said… - Hey Larry, thanks again for the great information, we had a beautiful trip with high's in the 80's, nite's in the upper 40's and zero wind till the last few miles. Joe Hutch was pretty simple in rubber, but it looks like you need to break out of the wave train and go left of the hole, keep digging left for a wood craft. I went to the right of it and ran into a few things. Still had a few pesky bugs but not bad. I'm convinced it's the place to be in the fall if there's enough water.
Talk soon, Jim

- Looks like a steep, deep hole. And I would agree, a couple more PSI would have made it less crazy, but then I guess you never know. Appreciate it, leaving for Vernal here in a couple of hours. I'll give you a report when I return, thanks again for the information.

- Hey Larry, thanks for the great info. I guess due to indecision and having just the last weekend to get ready, we've opted to take rubber and check it out this time, hopefully get back next fall with the dories if the water is back up to at least this level. Looks like a nice run and I'm looking forward to it. talk later, Jim

- How many days are you floating Deso? Hope you don't mind if I pick your brain a little when you get back, would really like to take these two woodies if it's feasible.

- Great Info, really appreciate it. My brother has the decked over McKenzie, I'm stuck with the Briggs if I end up taking it. I had heard about Joe Hutch but your description helps a lot. Guess I'll have to make a call there whether or not to take the briggs. thanks again, Jim

- Hey Larry, my brother has a Sept. 25th Deso permit. Looks like the dam will hold at around 2200 -2500 during the month of Sept. I was wondering if you've been through there at low water with your woodies and could provide some insight. thanks for any info there, Jim

- Thanks for getting back to me, and many thanks for the March inquiry, however I'll be back in grad school next semester and won't be available for a long trip till May. Good luck, Jim

- Mornin Larry, was wondering if you have any leads on boatmen for an October 9th Grand trip. I'm looking for one or two more folks with boats, rafts or wood either one. thanks, Jim
