Two very quick clips of a Jon and I on A Slow Boat to Nowhere, this time on Lake Habeeb in Rocky Gap State Park, Flintstone, MD. Another beautiful day (although we saw fish (and turtles), none were caught). Once again there was a lot of gawking and questions about the construction.

I hope that yellow thing is not a sponge to clean up water leaks??

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Correct on paddle drippings! No leaks. We ran over a sizable branch from a submerged log today.JPG wrote:Paddle drippings!ERLover wrote:I hope that yellow thing is not a sponge to clean up water leaks??

Just make your way east and we will go for a paddle. Or make your own! I've seen some of your projects and I think it is safe to say you are a much more accomplished woodworker than I!jsburger wrote:It works fine now.

Anyhow, yesterday was a lesson in how wind can effect a canoe. Paddling down wind was a breeze
. Paddling into the wind took more energy but maintaining course wasn't too hard. But when paddling with a cross-wind, the canoe had a tendency to weathervane. In other words, when the wind hit us broadside to the desired direction of travel, it wanted to spin the canoe with the lighter/higher end of the canoe (Jon's end) ending up down wind. The best I could figure out was for us both to paddle on the lee side of the canoe with an exaggerated sweeping stroke, which at least kept us more or less on course. As an experienced paddler, tell me what the proper technique is (other than not going out in windy conditions!). Trimming the canoe will probably help a bit, I think, but probably isn't the entire solution.Gale's Law: The bigger the woodworking project, the less the mistakes show in any photo taken far enough away to show the entire project!
