Thanks John. I have always tried to make the most of whatever it is I'm trying to accomplish, and to find those little things that make the process run smoother. Crafting with almost every medium known to man (wood, metal, concrete, rock, water, clay, glass, nylon fabrics, etc...) I didn't think I would ever find my niche(sp), until a couple years ago when I started reading this BBS. Now my favorite materials, bar none, are still wood, but covered in fiberglass material and epoxy. EPOXY IS THE MIRACLE MEDIUM. Instead of creating something that is merely meant for viewing pleasures, anyone can build a watercraft of virtually any size/shape that can actually be used in the water and enjoyed in more ways than one. A useful artcraft. I have finally found my niche. I owe it all to the authors of the books I have purchased (too many to list) and to the builders on this board. Thanks.
The picture is of a glue stand that I made (it took 5 min.) to store the glue upside down. At first I thought it might be messy with the cap nailed to the base, but it isn't at all. I'm full of ideas - some work, some don't.
