OK fellas, here we go.
The love/hate relationship that I've had with my HP scanner for the last 4 years has now progressed to pathological hatred. That's me of the scanner although the feeling could be mutual.
I hope these scans turn out alright for you. There are 4 pictures zipped into a single file. Its around 1.8MB in size. If you're on dial-up and will be content with less resolution in order to reduce the size of the download, I'll endeavour to accommodate you, but please bear in mind that I"m no graphics guru.
I don't yet know how to upload files to this board so I've placed it in the web space I have with my ISP. The url is below.
Pop pop boat article
Here's hoping it all works out.I wanted to become a brickie but my old man said "No son, learn a trade."

I'm glad you got the file OK, Midge. I reckon you're right about pop-pop boats being the next big thing. :eek:
I haven't any kids, but 3 of my great nephews are at an age where a pop-pop boat could prove a big winner.
Christmas pressies on the cheap. I like it!I wanted to become a brickie but my old man said "No son, learn a trade."

Back to the pond Sailer if I may~
Tonight's photos
1) Time to bring out the hand tools :eek: to rough trim the deck outline on the hulls and mark a reference line for further shaping.
2) The patternmaker's vice fires it's first shot in anger!! Darned handy thing it is too!!
3) After 10 or so minutes with the spoke shave the hull form is starting to take shape, one "blank" side, one rough shaped.
4) Hull glued up ready for final shaping.
Now things slow down a bit, firstly I've decided to do a patterned deck, so will have to think about how and what....
Then there is the matter of finding hardware.. the gears for the steering that I pinched from an old photocopier years ago have gone into hiding, to resurface as soon as I parted with some readys for new ones.
I priced a pair at a hobby shot for use in RC cars $12.00 no thanks!! Then I realised that the Warehouse will surely have a clock for sale for $2.00 and who knows what other goodies will lurk inside as well as the two gears!
Where can I buy/find 50mm of 1.5mm ID brass or copper tube?? Maybe I'll use the ink tube from an old biro? (or buy a new parker imitation and get ink all over me).
That's it- we're up to date... about two and a half hours into the project I reckon.
Cheers,
P
