Recycled organic boat part 5

There is one thing I was told when I was younger by a friend who made steam engines. Is to make one piece a day. In a steam engine there is about 360 pieces and at the end of the year you had the best part of that engine. Some parts took longer to make that is the boiler, and if this took another two months then you had an operational locomotive in fourteen months. Same goes for boats its just one piece at a time, and in a boat there is about two months worth. Note there are two pieces made and glued on to the hull. I will try to keep up dating this every day so you can check on how long it takes to restore a boat like this one. cheers Stewart.

The tops of the seats were cut out to find the treasures within. "Compost"
This is a religious boat cause its pretty holey

The photo above shows the patch with the timber supports removed
This photo shows the interior before glassing with silicon smoothed over the timber as a release agent
This is the hole with the timber attached to the hull before glassing the gaps were filled with some of the old gunnel timber. More photos will be posted when available. Does any one out there in computer land have any photos of my entry in the solar boat race in Canberra of a few years ago. cheers Stewart

This is the start of a new project, an electric boat from the swamps! Its amazing when you can see good in every thing. Just have ago you will be amazed what you can do. I called this post recycled organic boat as you can see it was over run with organic matter of all sorts. I will post more images as the images become available on this post.

Drought

I lived at Junee when the drought was on, When the farmers came to town the little sparrows (small birds) would hover in front of the cars and have a smorgasbord from the front of the cars. The little insects would be squashed on the cars, They were pretty smart as they only took the ones they liked or the yummy ones. I guess the insects must have different tastes.

Did you know that if sheep are eating during the hot part of the day they are probably starving?

Dry roads

If a air jet were placed in front of all four tyres to blow away water on the road, would it stop the car aqua planing?
