Re: Magsters bodging.....

That washer to the left is gonna rust, it aint stainless! You should have mooched around a bit more......
Looks groovy dude. How much does it weigh now it's all glassed up?

Andy, when's the forum gonna be up and running again?

Shut up numbnuts, it is stainless so ner! Only one fitting isn't stainless, and thats brass. Its finished now, just putting the pics of the construction together.

Sorry Maggers, thought you had swiped it from my selection of cheap and nasty bodging bits!

Come on get some pics up, i could do with a giggle :t

Thanks to Predator for the use of his workshop and the fibreglassing lesson, not something I'd done before but will certainly be useful for a bodger like myself!

I see you're taking up surfing then Magpie

Looks like a good board, plenty of deck area for those scallops. nice one.

 

[Predator]

LOL.......... NICE!

Would have loved to have seen the look on her face when you told her the missing tablecloth was now a flag :chatup!!!!!!

roflrofl

 

[Magpie]

rofl It was an old teashirt and some paint actually!

For anyone who didn't notice above the pic is a link to the "making of" thread.

 

[Old Man Dave]

I think a home made float should be large, highly visible and capable of carrying any amount of scallops.

Here's one I made earlier :t.

[Magpie]

Not moored as usual, though strangely there seems to be someone onboard :t

 

[Predator]

Call the cops, it's been stolen!

 

[Sarnian]

Magpie have you got both flags on 'cos it's also big enough to be classed as a boat with a diver down!rofl Where d'ya get the orange and white one?

Nice job though - and multi purpose with the current weather!

The White Horse open for snacks Great and its open all day, even better!

Oh Magpie the board/float looks pretty good to.

 

[azapa]

i noticed that one too Podge, one track mind :friday

Andy, when's the forum gonna be up and running again?

Waiting for a new password from the web host... They sent it by snail mail on Thursday or Friday so it should really be here. If it's not today there will be a delay as i'm off to London for client meetings later today and not back til Wednesday night. Bloney hackers is all I can say, you would think the hosts would have better security eh!!

 

[Magpie]

Unfortunately the White Horse is no more, it was our local when I was at Uni in Winchester but closed down so we, err, acquired some souvenirs!

The red flag was cut off an inflatable float Sarnian. If anyone knows where I can get a small plastic A-flag let me know because I'm not sure how long my bit of painted teashirt will last!

 

[foxfish]

I got loads of those little Guernsey flags, like the one on my board.

 

[Spaniard]

Hey Maggers are those some air rifles on the floor in the background? What you got?

 

[Magpie]

Thanks Mart, but I want an a-flag, otherwise a board with a Guernsey flag on it my attract curious boats over, not detter them!
