RE: Star 45 build started
Thanks, Al! I simply believe if something's worth doing, it's worth doing right. I want people to admire the work, not wrinkle up their noses when they see it! And I'm sure I got some of my ideas from my Dad, who was a lead mechanic with United Air Lines for his working life/while I was growing up.
I used to use TiteBond 2 (for normal woodworking), but switched to T/B 3 for boats, since it's waterproof... or more water resistant than the 2 version.
