What is everyone doing???

[Steven Kinney]

I finished both my scale hydros just in time for quarantine lol. I just have few odds and ends left to do but finished for the most part. Wish I had another build going now!

A better question would be "Which boats am I working on?"
Right now, my primary projects are a scale 1973 Pay'N Pak and a gas scale 1978 Miss Madison, which is essentially the same boat but with a Turbo-Allison rather than a Merlin.
My other projects are a replacement hull for my 2000 Elam Plus, a 1984-5 Miss Executone and a 2009 Oh Boy! Oberto. What are you working on? The "Joe's" looks really good, would love to see it on the water. Do you have a picture of the Atlas as well? Would love to see how it turned out as well. IF you still have my phone number, feel free to give me a call as I'm, as of now anyway, only working Monday and Friday next week and have the rest of the month off, unless I get called in.

Since the Virginia governor's mandate has put me out of work until June 10th I've been spending time getting a good bit of outside stuff done but did manage to finish up my new router table set up. Bought a Kreg bench top router table, Kreg precision router lift and Kreg remote switch. Fitted lift with Porter-Cable router and after building the rolling support cabinet added a 4 gallon Porter-Cable shop vac (also controlled by remote switch). I've wanted a high end router set up for a while, finally got one.

Don, the router looks good, and I have been trying to get in touch with you, as I did not receive the drawings.

I can answer that for 'ol Don. It's like an upside down mill for wood!

I didn‘t end up building the Atlas Mark I did a Miss Budweiser.

Question to anyone that would like to answer. Where is a good place to buy props. I am looking for finished props. I have one for my 1/6 scale and one for my 1/8 scale but would like to have a few to play around with.

Correct!!

 

[Joe Wiebelhaus]

Gotta love it. Washington State's governor increased the length of our lockdown on Friday. Just received a call from my supervisor, I'll be working the next two days with the rest of the week on standby. I guess that means less boat building time than I thought for the near future

You dont finish anything anyways, so whats the difference, bla bla bla....................

Mark does real nice work. There always seems to be props for sale in the props forum. Might save you a little money. What prop works on your boat now?

Actually, Joe, it's been a very chaotic work schedule that's been stopping me from getting much done. Since I've got some time to play for once, we'll see how much I can get done over the next three weeks or so

I have to agree with Jeff and Mike, Mark Sholund does impeccable work, even gives you a specification card with the prop that you can use to get a replacement if needed
