We Will Put Our Ships In Order.

  The art and science of boatbuilding is rumored to be the pinnacle of the carpentry trade. The fair curve is it's basis. You look along a curve and it should have neither high or low spots but be fair, sweet to the eye, I guess you could say.
     In actuality, it's not that mysterious. Follow this simple recipe and you could build yourself a boat. It will be fun.

materials
55 Gallon Drum of E-Bond Part A epoxy
55 Gallon Drum of E-Bond Part B epoxy
3,000 board feet of wood
1 Quart of Schlitz malt liquor
tool
15 amp Black and Decker Wildcat Model Grinder

In a large mixing bowl , mix first three materials thoroughly and allow to harden overnight.
Use tool to grind off whatever doesn't look like a boat.
Break quart of Schiltz over the bow and set sail.
Bon Voyage.
