Nope . I think the Admiral would kinda frown on the poly fumes !:painkiller::painkiller:
That is the closed in area of my garage/workshop . I would give you a tour but it,s a bit on the messy side right now ..:facepalm:

Very nice! Demonstrates very well that it does not take a lot of resin to make the CSM go Clear. Everyone could learn a lot from this video.

I'll tell you one thing. Not only are you doing a top notch job but you got a ton of patience. Great job on those bases.

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Thanks everyone It seems my glassing has gotten better when I learned to just slow down a bit . You have more time than you think sometimes so you don,t have to go into panic glassing mode ..

Maybe I can use the skills I have learned from you guys to tackle a new project .:facepalm:





I think I may be coming down with something ..:crazy:

Well that certainly would look nice w/ a pole barn built on it, but what are you going to do w/ the old abandoned glasser w/ no trailer??

:biggrin-new:



Sorry, been thinking about the tin more then the glass in my boathouse lately, it got the best of me. :fencing:



The cuddy may offer more protection from the sun & rain then the H/T does, but it might take a payment FROM the boat's owner to get someone motivated to take the motor & trailer-less boat. Would look nice tied up next to the MFG :)

I know I know 1 or 2 boats at a time . You know how it is ya see an old rottin thing along side the road and ya wonder what you can do with it ..
Was still thinking it would make a cool hot tub I was wanting to build . :eyebrows:

The Admiral was a little less than receptive on a new project . :eek:

Cool ol' Glasspar... These are sort of like stray pets.... You hate to just leave 'em on the side of the road, but if you bring em home, you got get 'em shots, feed em, etc.... (requiring lots of coin)...

That one looks cool, but also looks like a huge investment.... interior, power, trailer, etc...

Agreed on all counts. It WILL NOT be joining my derelict fleet. Let me say that again: IT WILL NOT be joining my fleet. Ok, now that I've honored the Admiral's wishes (yeah I know, only 1 out of many :facepalm:)

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Yeah, since SP likes to rock out the tunes while glassing, it seems the youtube filters flagged this one :facepalm:

Too bad, usually good tunes, but even better glassing....

Have a boat fund beneficial work day today SP. I'll be coaching from the couch all weekend :couch2:

Please forgive me if I start posting gibberish, cold medicine & rest are pretty much the rest of my only weekend plan
