Hi guys,

Man, now I'm 240lbs (actually 230 :-) and can't remain anonymous ? Hehe. Well I really love to sign as Mr.Bucket. It has not meaining whatsoever. 8 years ago my 2 year son was watching a commercial for a toy called Mr.Bucket. I guess it stuck with me and browsing various discussion boards I do sign as Mr.Bucket.

Now seriously - If everyone on this board signs with their true name then I will stop using Mr.Bucket here.

: Hey guy,
: I'm 200 pounds. On my yak I put a shield of short strips on my deck work that
: was fancy wood work but not supper strong. I put in 3 ribs under it. I
: folded #6 F/G over, cut it with shears and then added a third piece over
: each rib. It gave it the over all strength needed. I sit on it regularly.
: Nice place to have coffee.

: The ribs provide the overall strength I wanted with out adding the weight
: that would have been on it had I added whole sheets under that section.

: Hey I'm going to second Shawn's suggestion. Give us a real name. Here at the
: wooden boat builders coffee clache were all pretty familiar and friendly.
:
: I've built a few buckets and tubs for paddling, but my BBS buddies and their
: boats all have names.
