Make your 24ft cabin with box ends and copper bottom<br /> 2. Make a cockpit so it could bolt to the main cabin<br /> 3. Make a 8'x8'x4'8" pointed bow with flat bottom sloping up 1.5' to the point on a straight run...Construct it so it could be bolted to the main cabin..<br /><br /> You already have Slacktide....By dividing up the project you make a big job a series of small jobs and you don't have to bend ply on the bottom just have straight runs...End up with a 40'x8' sailing barge...How about the Mary Elisabeth? Didn't he use a cooper powder in his epoxy? Did that work?... <br /> <br /> I'm getting lazier as time passes me by...I made a box for truck a few yrs ago...I sold my truck last yr and kept the box..I'm going to cut it up and make a 14.5'x30"x16" motor-sailing nested canoe with canopy and junk rig.. Then I can have a boat again and worried about it getting stolen..I just can't get my ass in gear...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595981220646062661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-86752092631011442352013-12-07T01:01:32.457-09:002013-12-07T01:01:32.457-09:00Okay Brad,

Interesting questio...Hmm... authentic it would be.<br /><br />Interesting question, though; whether if one can build a barge, they can do anything.<br /><br />Maybe one reason I like barges so much is that I, myself, am a 'plodder'. <br /><br />I don't think quickly and am nearly a pure mono-tasker. Boatbuilding and sailing are (I find) very linear processes... working it one step after another. That, in part, is what makes them so accessible. Anyone can do it who can settle themselves down to a plod.<br /><br />But music (while I love to participate) is multi-stream, multi-tasking, full-brain/body activity. (Especially) when I take the lead, it's "play that funky music, white boy" time. Even in a group no one (who knows me) tries to have me 'take it'. Like I say, I'm comfortable (and sorta capable) in the background, but out front it's a disaster.<br /><br />I think of that scene in THE NERD... Steve Martin - born a poor, black (and rhythmless) child - finds his beat, listening to Lawrence Welk on the radio. His father's reaction, "That poor boy. That poor, poor boy!"<br /><br />And yet, we built ZOON next to Skookum Jumprope, a business employing variously challenged young people. They had a banner over the door sporting an African saying, "If you can walk, you can dance. If you can laugh you can sing."<br /><br />So here I am on my soapbox, exhorting all who dream to do. Maybe I should dance the walk I talk.<br /><br />I'll think on it... thanks for the push!<br /><br />Dave ZDave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-11381521362997420112013-11-05T17:09:30.740-09:002013-11-05T17:09:30.740-09:00Come on Dave!

You just sing...let another play...sit down and stick you gum in a safe place before you start. :)Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353845667585163588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-45290512163092397302013-11-05T14:56:15.736-09:002013-11-05T14:56:15.736-09:00Hi Brad,

Theres a link to Grisman and Seeger doing the tune (just under the song title - the purple bit)... sorry about the wierd link colors... it's a Blogger issue I'm trying to get cleared up.<br /><br />I'm hoping someone out there with talent can do a version... I'm strictly a second row singer/player (banjo). Can't walk and chew gum at the same time, much less sing and play! 8(<br /><br />Dave ZDave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-71993285371687393462013-11-04T16:52:07.514-09:002013-11-04T16:52:07.514-09:00I love it! a great song.
