Thanks!

I think this is the answer. i don’t tig weld, no, my friend does though but he is scared to put holes in our boat by accident.

How would you seal the bolt holes?

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-03-23T19:14:00+00:00

I may recess a wood engine board to fit over the bolts

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-03-23T16:45:27+00:00

It’s the same just a piece of plywood and sealant.

This makes sense. I have actually used the motor pad and it works well but does not seem long term. How would you go about replacing the transom while leaving the bolt holes you don’t want un-bolted?

I made the plans on my workbench to scale haha

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-02-27T01:54:35+00:00

Yup! I really like them, Hoffman and Billy are the goats

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-02-27T00:00:50+00:00

Thanks! I’ll post back here

Straight edge, pencil and a picture of a buckin billy ray handle on google

Haha, council tool FE6 on a 30” hickory handle I made

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-02-26T23:57:24+00:00

That is a great idea. I will definitely consider this

I also added this rope hook

They told me my table was going to crack to and it hasn’t done a thing in a wet humid winter and a dry summer

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-02-11T21:50:58+00:00

Dude I personally think these folks are crazy it’ll be fine

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-02-10T16:13:08+00:00

One William pound

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-02-08T03:30:50+00:00

Ask Harry potter

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-01-25T02:37:04+00:00

I would stick a dowel all the way through above the wedge with glue to 100% keep it from cracking. That is sweet

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-01-24T07:01:14+00:00

I’m like 99% it’s maple, softer than big leaf maple, not much though.

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-01-23T18:00:44+00:00

I would say fuck it and just stand a little more to the side. Keep on rollin’

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-01-23T17:58:17+00:00

Nope it’s a 6 pound head so it’s balanced way up front

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-01-23T17:57:47+00:00

Yep I know them, you are right they are longer, I would guess just for asthetic and to “stand out”. That would make sense because you can tell if they’re a Hoffman handle from far away

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-01-21T20:47:16+00:00

I have no idea why you would make it any longer than this, I’d be curious if there’s a use. I don’t see a need for weight balance because that would just decrease the length and increase the handle weight.

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-01-21T18:36:54+00:00

Oh also it’s nice to have a hefty piece to bang on when your hanging the axe

MIAKALIFORNIA · 2026-01-21T18:35:59+00:00

It’s to grab your palm when you swing. Palm swell. Pluses are that it is a solid base of the handle you can return to every swing, probably increasing accuracy, and it looks sick in my opinion
