: Hi Ian, Randy.
: Lots of black shock cord but no black rope here abouts. I would if
: I could.
: I don't have a band saw, so I marked out and cut each blade section
: individualy using
: a jig saw (time consuming) and glued with thickened epoxy, laid on
: their backs and
: clamped GENTLY, with a weight across the centre and strips wrapped
: in polythene
: clamped to the ends to keep them in line.I'm sure someone will tell
: me that was overkill,
: but they are quite big blades so I was looking for as much build
: strenth as possible.
: I would not want to open an old argument, Euro vs GP but they are
: light and easy to use and
: will push both boats along effortlessly, with a quite (subjective)
: slow stroke rate at 4MPH.
: I am also mulling the idea of putting a twist into the alignment of
: the strips at the gluing stage
: to create (try!) a curved wing profile. Probably totaly
: unneccessary but it will be fun to try.
: I may have managed to post a picture or two but I'm not over sure
: how and will have
: completely forgotten by the next time I try!
: Regards
: Les. C.

ps. For the not forgetting of methods of posting pictures, stickie notes. When you figure the method, write it on a sticky and stick it beside the monitor.
(of course, I still have to remember to write the method down first) :D
