: 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.
: SMF

Well said Scott. I think a lot of us on this board have dabbled in many things and this board and strip building gives us a medium to put it all together. I get a thrill seeing new thoughts and ideas on this board weather they work or not.
