Thanks. The cutaway of the hydraulic coupling is exactly what I was looking for.

In this case, the person recommending is the guy who built the boat. Additionally, he is one of the best wooden boat builders in Maine. I trust him implicitly. The boat is a custom design. the leak is a trickle, where the keelson meets the hull, near a frame, just aft the mast step. The...

Rolling hulls? Of course. Always easier to build a boat upside down. Chainfalls and blocks and I beams? Well, a gantry could be used. But for rolling? No, like this: "Bench nook" will be a bit lower, but probably a 10 foot ceiling. A partial second floor would count against square feet...

Thanks. I have thought a lot about a powered one. The guy using this method specifically said that a "pump handle" or one with a hose would not work. I think that might be because you couldn't tap the end of the pipe, and it's critical that the pipe be screwed in. Another possibility is...

Thanks! Sorry for the confusion. Not separate threads, in my "Introduce yourself here" thread I stated that I would post a separate thread for the build. "Introduce Yourself Here" seems like it would not be the place to go into details.

I'm going to re-post this here, because it had 60 views in the general tools forum, but no responses. Perhaps the right person who understands old tools will see it here. Specifically, how does it build pressure? OK, full disclosure. This is not a grease problem, but I need to modify a gun...

So as I mentioned in my intro post, here is more info relating to my new garage/shop/boatshop build. Yes, I will have thousands of questions as this goes along. I haven't broken ground yet, but I think I have an overall design, which is being sent to the Truss Guys for engineering, and the...

Specifically, how does it build pressure? OK, full disclosure. This is not a grease problem, but I need to modify a gun, and I don't want to break it. In this specific problem, I have a sailboat that has a small leak between the ballast keel and the keel/keelson. I've spoken with my boat...

OK, so I'm new here. Actually, I've been lurking for quite some time, and learning a lot, but because I haven't been posting, I haven't introduced myself. But I think maybe it's time to start posting, so it's only polite to say hello. First, on the name. Panzer was a Saint Bernard. He was...
