[Liquid_Scope_99]

lol I am thinking about putting a periscope mast thingie (someone correct me with what its called) on top. not sure how to make it look good though! lol lots of sanding i guess. oh and hey liquid thanx for your help with the butcher block im making. i'll post some pics its turning out quite well. its not perfect, but thats why I am making it and not buying it at the store!

if anyone has questions about wood liquid knows a lot! thanx man again.

I wishi knew a lot just glad i could help somebody for a change i made shutters for the house the other day there not perfect Either by along shot .

I read or saw or heard somwhere . "when i man thinks he is the best at what he does he stops learning and will eventually see how little he knows " that was it round about .

My son is only almost 2 yrs old, or else I'd make him do all this sanding!

Haha, ok I guess that's an acceptable excuse for not having him do more

Looking good. You might want to consider incorporating some lateral streamlining as well. It'll help a bit with air resistance, plus it just looks cool

Were you refering to the sail?

EDIT: Hmmm, it appears that embedding isn't working...
