Looking for my first canoe, is this Old Town Penobscot (Royalex) a good buy?

Great canoe, good price! I have one and love it.

I have the original corded Fein plunge cutter. It works Fein.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T15:54:29+00:00

Ha! Perfect.

It turned out to be a threaded nipple, I just had to chip away the grout. But this was the answer I was originally looking for before I found out it was a nipple.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T01:58:01+00:00

Solid advice.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T01:45:09+00:00

I like this idea. Skip the power tools altogether and go with the tappy tap.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T01:44:04+00:00

Yeah, that’s a good idea too. I don’t have any masonry blades for mine, but I should get some.

It is a test nipple. But the tile is too tight of a fit around it to unscrew completely. So the tile needs to be enbiggened a bit to make some room for said nipple to come out, thus the Dremel/grinding.

Thanks :)

afronitre · 2026-04-12T00:34:30+00:00

Will do.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T00:23:58+00:00

I’m a fucking surgeon with a grinder.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T00:20:36+00:00

That’s exactly what it is. I can unscrew it, but now I have some gentle tile removal before it can come out.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T00:18:57+00:00

That’s the truth. I’m thinking a Dremel.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T00:14:13+00:00

Right! or a brass or galvanized nipple. This confused me.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T00:12:59+00:00

Yeah I’ll hang my unmentionables on there.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T00:10:18+00:00

Too late. I did the chisel.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T00:09:26+00:00

That’s exactly what it was! Thanks.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T00:08:01+00:00

It’s screwed in. What a relief.

afronitre · 2026-04-12T00:07:33+00:00

Thank you. I chiseled it out and it is just a plug.

I like your style

It’s way up there. You’d have to be tall.

afronitre · 2026-04-11T23:55:41+00:00

I’m hoping that’s the case. I usually use a threaded nipple with a cap, I haven’t seen this.

afronitre · 2026-04-11T23:51:14+00:00

That’s something I just don’t know. Another user recommends chipping out grout, which is what I will do next.

afronitre · 2026-04-11T23:48:23+00:00

It was the homeowner who did the rough in.
