shop eyesore

Heres my pleasant view after a move and before racking...
thats me taking a break from a newborn and 2.5 year old
Missing is a wideboard, champlain, sponson and woodworking and shop tools; thank god for ocean containers on friends' property
Still more fun than collecting comics or baseball cards

Posting pictures: see http://forums.wcha.org/showthread.php?t=469 - usually its a file size problem, or the "upload" button wasn't pressed after selecting the files...

 

[bob goeckel]

finally got it to work i think

 

[Andre Cloutier]

The buck didnt fair well but I understand he was tasty
nice to see the scars on the red one in the ceiling; back when I had british bike disease (Nortons mostly) I was a firm believer in "ride em dont hide em", I love to see the old stuff being used
This was my fishing and hunting machine, until I REALLY ran out of space - I'd gladly pay the $800 i sold it for to get it back but no doubt it'll be replaced sooner than later
*note the "2 days of solid running" gas tank, not what I usually used but hey it was full so i grabbed it...

Wild guess: I have a 16' double-ender made by Voitures d'Eau in Rouyn-Noranda, QC that is not unlike this one.

Sanity restored !?

God bless angle iron and lag bolts
Oh and molecular realignment (commonly called welding)
"Good news honey I've got more room for the next derelict I find in need of rescuing..."

 

[bob goeckel]

andre, whats that on the bottom?

 

[Andre Cloutier]

Bob, i'm guessing you mean bottom boat? off to the right is a wideboard building form circa 1800's, the boat is believed to be a 16/30 sailing canoe from (- subject of a thread not too long ago under sailing canoe heading) the late 1800's, possibly early 1900's.
Yes I like old stuff and usually turn it up in my travels, and yes you should pity my wife who doesnt get the allure of old stuff...
its a beautiful boat, and I was thrilled to find it - its up second for restoration
