We need tapatalk back. I just tried to post twice from my phone using Chrome. Lost all the data.

I spent an hour in the shop after work last night finishing up the faberacation of the two foldable seats. Done less the welding and hinges.

Now it will not allow pictures SOB!

Oh come on Chaps, it's so easy even a Canuck can use it :nutkick: I love tapa talk now too.

The boat looks awesome John. I'm heading down South again this year to the show and hope to meet up with you and stop by and see her :clap: .

I need to update the thread. This Weekend starts Verrrrry Sooooon and Work can not call me in do to the Head Cheese said I have worked four Weekends in a row. The limit! I have to take one off before they can make me work another 4. SOG! Work has been picking up but We, the Local 751 Voted down the $10,000 Boneus that we would have gotten if we had accepted the 8 year contract extension that International IAM and the Company concocted. Time will tell if we did the right thing.

The extension is now fully welded in. The rod holders will be spaced at 6.75" apart. We cut all of the holders from the old piece and then cleaned up. I cut the 1" pipe as shown on page 103. Now we started to fit the first 5 to the rail.

Bob I can not load and update the sight from my phone with out Tapatalk. There is even a new upgraded app if Les will look into it Please :highfive: :beer:

keep showing the side view from the floor. 5 rod holders mounted along the back. This Weekend we should get the rest on. You can see the supports that were bent up on the Harbor Freight Pipe Kinker. There is a Auction this Tuesday that has a pipe bender listed. I will be there.

Hey Zues she looks great buddy. I can see it now. I just can't afford all those rods :shocked: !!!

Thank you SIR for the offer on the room and I would be more than happy to accommodate you with whatever you need to help you through that hip "revision". I look forward to seeing Ken's new spreader bars. I'll call you right shortly.

Your gal is a beauty buddy. Great work :joecool: .

The Journey Begins; Hand Rail Alignment

#337

Post by kmorin »

goatram, looking at the post 327 I noticed the progression of the overhang and railing changes and I think I like the looks of the (vertical) side rail better before is was modified.

In the first photo (#327) the after cabin side side (vertical) rail has a single bend, and at 110-115 degrees, ends under the overhang and it looks clean, IMO.

Below, the upper rail is added and it looks like at one time it aligned with the lower vertical rail? (down a few photos) but then the vertical rail was trimmed and a new piece added which has another bend and a return so the top of the vertical rail now ends aft the new top rail.

I like the vertical rails' top end look better when they were directly under the new added top rail.

The new horizontal section (lower vertical rail's new top 3 bend piece) may give a better hand hold climbing out of the cockpit to the gunwale (?) but I preferred the look of those two rails to lining up, the upper one looking like it was a continuation of the lower one.

just mentioning the looks side of that mod; nice mod to the bait tank cover-that looks good.

cheers,
Kevin Morin

Kevin I see what you mean. Must be something to do with design/welders. "Jim" the guy in the Pics Said the same thing. Now you pointing it out to me I see it as well. The hand hold is for when you are standing in the back and both hands are holding the rails and you look around the Cabin. I will discuss this with Jim again. I am taking him on a field trip to see the Work Boat Show this Friday in Seattle.

I have not taken many pictures yet of the work accomplished this weekend. Mostly prep work and on the interior. I still need 4 more pieces of 1 & 3/16" X 3/8" Teak Batten Strips to finish off the interior Modes. I also took out the Galley Station to get at the windows for trim and Insulation. 15 rod holders are now welded on the backside of the pipe above the roof. 13 more are welded and ready for installation on the front side of the pipe. the one I did take is of the new Mill that I am using to make a window for my Bait Tank. The tank will have two windows. The windows are 1/2" Plexiglass. The cut out will be 10" X 20" or so. The window will be set into the tank outside flush. :banghead:
Attachments
The window being made on the Mill. The corners will be radiused. This is the first side being cut. I need to mill it .125&quot; to match the tank thickness. My own Aquarium on the Boat. Cool I Think. Labor intensive to say the least I have already 3 hours on making the first one. the Mill is manually actuated. i.e. turning the nobs.

Thanks upon further thinking I like them two. It is funny that two Pro Welder Fabricators said cut em off.

To continue the work on the cuddy I had to start cutting the chunk of teak left over from the Galley. This piece was ripped to about .070" thick by 2" to wrap around the Ceiling Vent
The strip had to be Steamed and clamped up to dry after the saw work. I have a new blade on the Saw now. This one still cut and had all of it's teeth. Just cut slow.

The next couple of pictures are the Bait tank Windows that I am installing. The 11" X 15" x 1/2" pieces of Plexi Glass was sourced from Tap Plastics and Cut on the New Mill I got from Vance DB. They will be drilled and tapped for 10-32 screws. The screws will hold the windows in place while the Sika Flex sealant (Like 5200) sets up. Two windows are being installed front and back on the tank.

The rod holders are welded up still need to clean them up a bit. 28 ea. 15 on the back side and 13 on the fwd face. With them, the 6 on the bait tank, the 6 on the gunnel, and the 12 on the front radar mount equals 52 each. OVER KILL? Yes!

Saw this Grip Tape at the Seattle Boat Show. I Got one 12" X 48 Section from them as the show was closing. The tape is a vinyl strip with particles cast into it. It seems to work.
http://www.gripallusa.com/#/home/
It was in the Light gray color. I cut it into two inch strips on my old 10" Carbide Tip Blade. Right after which I changed the blade. Sparks where flying that was for sure. I wiped down the fish box and applied half of three of the strips to the Bottom. The Box sloops down toward the center and when your stuffing tuna in the ice feet tend to slip in there to the center. The product claims to stay in place in the cold wet environments; We shall see. Today I ordered up another two strips to finish the box and toying with the Idea of applying it to the top of the deck instead of painting. The second product they have has metal studs that are inset in the vinyl. Those studs really locked your feet to their display at the show.



I have two posts on the previous page showing the hinges for the seats and the bait tank windows that have only 9 views. :eyepop:

I also see we have some more smiles :roflmao:

At the Dock; There is a need to load Ice, Coolers, and remove large quantity of Tuna.

I thank you for said Honor Mr. Capt. Dave.

The Journey is coming to an end soon. I am finishing up the interior paneling, the Kicker Mount is partially completed, next up is the control mount for the kicker and finally the Dive doors. Slider?

Dave pull your boat across country next winter and we will make your boat; The Jettywolf edition. We will even get Pacific to sign off all of the mods prior to install. :burn: :shocked: :thumbsup:

Sure.....I'd love it.

Yeah mean I could finally get a custom designed engine guard, a Jack plate, and a few of those folding seats?
Maybe a "snap on fort"....I've have that idea in my head.

Let me swing by the Lotto office and pick up my winnings first.

I know, believe me, I sound like a broken record. But not much is good here. Each day is a struggle. I am not visiting here (AAB.com) much anymore except to post a video here and there. If I didn't have that "outlet", I don't know what I'd do. It's very hard to hang with people who have it going on, when you feel like I do daily.

Months behind on bills, because after 17 brutal years I'm trying to hang on. And being a shelf stacker at Walmart isn't going to make much a difference either.

I hope to keep my boat. But if all else fails...I certainly can't live in it.

Damn, should have got a fort model :deadhorse:

Dave the Lottery? Did you buy your ticket? Drawing is an hour away. Can't win it if your not in it!

A Dive door is to be installed on the Starboard Side. Door will swing aft.
I took Charlies advice on the Sliding Gunnel. Still a cool Mod though. Maybe for the Next boat that I build. Currently I am working on Paneling of the interior the boat. It is insulated and I am starting to put her go back together. I need to paint the floors and do some wiring upgrades. i.e. lights and relocating some electrical sh** that can get in the way on the floor under the helm and bed, finish the wallis heater install and defrost duct.

There will be a slight recess starting the first of the year. (another Hip Operation next Friday 27th of Dec) for two weeks at least. Boat will go outside under the carport and the shop will be freed to work on some Vehicles of my son. 85 Ford F250 needs a new motor and his 67 Cougar needs to go back together for paint and return to the road in time for Aug Ninth. His Wedding day. The Dumbshit wants to marry his Girlfriend for some unknown reason. The rest of the work can be done out in the open except for the painting of the floor some time in March.

Jamie aka Waterdog247 Thanks for the Sign for the Shop. Picture to follow.

Great work! Re the seats...when you order the cushions make sure you specify 'CLSOED CELL" foam and a good higher density if only an inch thick...this isn't for long term comfort it is to take the bite out of the hard cold alloy seat on your butt. Closed cell is so it will not absord H2O. You can see this type of foam at camping stores...it is used to make inexpensive thin sleeping pads for backpaking, this will give you the idea of what I mean. BUT then again you may know all this already...I had some seat covers made and used a Sunbrella type cloth rather than a vinyl...but that is a matter of choice...nicer to sit on with shorts in the summer..my thought!

YES I vote for more rod holders go for the record...maybe Guiness will show up! Also like the tank windows and LEDS. SWEET! I wanted to meet up with you guys at the Workbaot show but was doing a remodel of fireplace and cabinets at house that needed to get done. Maybe next time. Capt PJ

I had to make a press brake to bend the 5086 alloy .250" plate. The door surround is a 4" wide
strip cut from plate. It will have a 1" radius so it will not crack.

Still need to cut close out panels to cover all of the holes. Should be done tomorrow. Jim the Welder Is the master of this door build. He said he wanted to do it. and I gave him free rein on it and it turned out so looking great.

As some here know I have had both of my hips replaced back in 2011. This coming Friday 27th Dec. I am going back to have the Left hip reworked/Moded. For whatever reason I have had pain in it from day one. It pops and slams whenever I walk on it. This door will make getting in and out of the boat easier. :clint:
