Mr. BK. Nope, You're right. The Tilley had the pump and the delicate mantle. Pictured is a kerosene lantern with a wick.

You're still going to have a displacement hull, Lou. This won't give you a planing hull.

Hopefully, the blades are withdrawn. But thanks for echoing my father's voice in my head. I immediately cringed when I saw them on finished wood table.

I have an electric plane, never been able to use it appropriately, and I prefer by far the nice shavings a hand plane produces.

I have an electric planer. Love the thing, but it’s more of a rough fit tool as opposed to a finish tool. Great for planning down a to tall door.

Love going there! Its been about 25 years since my last trip though.

How come people from Maine don't know about Liberty? I've worked with many who never heard of it,some live within a half hour drive. They all thought I was pulling their leg.

Thanks I didn’t know about these guys either . Most sights are just for looking and not buying . I just sold most of my power tools . They were old and heavy and in mybasement shop. 13” Rockwell planner , 14” Rockwell band saw and 8” powermatic jointer . I’m down to just table saw , drill press and some hand power tools. I’ve been thinking on some old hand tools. I’m not sure if I’m disciplined enough to keep them sharp .

There was a priming cup under the nozzle you filled with your fuel and burnt the fuel thereby heating the nozzle which helped to vaporize said fuel.
Traditional way of heating your soldering iron.


Back in High School metal shop we were taught how to use those soldering irons, but we heated them up in a gas fire pit instead of the hand torch.

Santa just dropped off a five stage turbine HVLP paint spray system. The plan is to use it for a stealth respray (in the slip) of the black outside trim around the windows. These things are noted for very minimal overspray and they're portable. Mask as necessary, place the suitcase size turbine in the V-berth space, run the hose out through the overhead hatch and Bob's yer Uncle. Noise level is about the same as a large shop vac...virtually nil for the neighbors if it's inside the boat. If I chicken out from doing it in the slip, I'll find a spot to anchor, start the genset and squirt it there.

Very nice, and it reminded me that I purchased a HVLP gun at a car show in Daytona many many years ago. It is still in my garage and still in the box. It looks like we are going to need to pull it out and make sure it works.

We just installed a 9” wide, 6 head Weinig moulder with automatic enhanced set up heads 250k. Also installed an all moving blade rip saw. It’s all fast and loud. There’s nothing like the sound of a sharp hand tool making a thin shaving.
