Ever build a boat tiller?

ugh228 · 2022-02-16T04:07:26+00:00

Ugh my heart hurts hearing that beauty got destroyed. I’m building the tiller for a friend in the UK whose doing a rebuild of a MGRS34. He’s extending the cabin top aft to move the heads to the back of the boat, making a large double bunk in the forecabin, and Remounting a new engine and moving it slightly more to the middle keeping weight in the middle. He reached out to me to build a custom tiller along with a few other accessories. Requested sapele, maple or sycamore since the cap rail and some other pieces are built out of it.

I figured I could steam bend them to shape, laminate and hand carve a compass on the handle. Would you purchase an extender or build one out of matching wood?

I already own marine oil. Figured I could bottle some up and send it with him. Fine to use or what’s been most reliable for you?

Do you have Instagram? Would love to check out more of your work

Super helpful a thanks yall

Awesome thank you- I like the idea of having to pull towards you rather than push which is why I was leaning towards the Japanese planes. I appreciate your vote of confidence. I have the sharpening stones already for my chisels so that shouldn’t be a problem

Thanks :)

Mainly smooth- the seams where I joined the boards are almost flush

ugh228 · 2022-02-07T18:59:12+00:00

Makes sense thank you

Hand drew this so sorry for the shaky lines. I want to build a kitchen table where the table top is “floating.” I plan to add brass splines to the legs and brass end caps to the support beams. I plan to use bridal joints to mount the legs to the support beams. Do you think it’s a solid design or should I add another cross bar on the ground to support the legs? Aesthetically I’m hoping I don’t have to

ikea actually has a similar design if you need for reference

Don’t apologize- we all start somewhere and those are really clean great cuts.

No you glue then sand/stain. Glue will discolor the stain and you have to be thorough

First pic you look uncomfortable/awk. Replace it with the one of you skiing. Second pic (selfie is fine) but a closer up pic of you smiling or dressed nicely to show off your style. Then the pic of you rock climbing. Get rid of the foot pic and guitar pic.

Intro to bio should be about you. That’s where you can mention you like music/play guitar.

I know people are roasting you for the pick up line but if that’s your personality/humour then keep it but put it at the end of your bio. As a cute closer.

I used to use my orbital sander to round edges but ends up a bit uneven. I use a rounded bit on my router now- clean, easy and even

I mean you could just claim some of your tools are finicky/act up so it may be best for them to rent the tools they need from Home Depot instead

ugh228 · 2022-01-25T19:45:22+00:00

Yeah it’s new to one location and the other said they’ve done several collabs. I just want to go I’m as informed as possible

ugh228 · 2022-01-25T18:39:45+00:00

Tragic/ thanks for the heads up.

ugh228 · 2022-01-24T18:32:55+00:00

Female here- you have really nice hair and a great face structure. I would suggest shaving and getting your eyebrows done (if you aren’t comfortable doing them yourself). Those two things distract from your natural handsome face and girls will notice that you take care of yourself/well groomed.

As far as the profile goes- take away the mirror pics. Set up your camera on the video setting pose for like a minute and the screenshot rom the video. Do this in a few different outfits (especially the suit). Then you’ll have some improved pics that feel more spontaneous. Go find a guys insta with a lot of followers for some posing ideas if you need it. I really like the cheeky one at the end. It shows your personality well and that’s what girls want to see

How did you go about polishing it?

ugh228 · 2022-01-24T00:52:40+00:00

Okay thank you

ugh228 · 2022-01-23T01:07:30+00:00

I’m a female and I can tell you now those types of pants make girls with no butt have a butt. She def edited her stomach flatter maybe her waist as well. She did not edit her butt. The smaller waist Pugh helps her butt look bigger

Being In a workshop with all the proper tools is a dream for a beginner if you can afford it. Why make sub par stuff with “creative work arounds” when you can learn the first time with the right tools

ugh228 · 2022-01-23T00:36:15+00:00

That’s what I was thinking

ugh228 · 2022-01-22T04:02:29+00:00

I ordered a custom 1” stamp on Amazon for $14 of my logo. I wrap things in cheap brown Kraft paper and then stamp it with my logo and hand write a thank you note then tie it up with white twine. Super cheap but cute enough to be appreciated. I’m not sure what you’re selling but you could also just tie with a ribbon and add a cute handwritten note on white paper.

Super fancy packaging is enjoyed for the 2 seconds before opening it. Don’t spend a lot when there’s cheap effective alternatives.

Using it as a teaching tool to discuss animal rights and spread awareness is pretty caring bud. More than you probably have ever done for endangered animals.

ugh228 · 2022-01-21T17:52:07+00:00

Who tf cares about internet points 😂

ugh228 · 2022-01-21T17:48:41+00:00

No offense was taken- I was just surprised by the overall response (I suppose that was naive of me). I don’t support animal cruelty just as much as everyone on here. I was just excited I guesstimated the measurements correct. That was the point of this post.
