    Give me some time...I want to see if I can make some on my machine. They won’t be chrome...rather aluminum.

    Does anyone know if the sheriffs dept ever took advantage of the generous side scan sonar offers that were made? I never heard back from the sheriffs office when I tried to contact them.

    Who loves tools!

    Nice! I suspect we might see some really high end posts soon. As for myself, I started a small collection of Snapon years ago. Every year I add a bit more to it. When my son was born, I cloned my set and have been building up 2 sets now...mine and his. When he turns 16 or so...I’ll give him...

    New Imco Dual Downshaft Lower Article is up!

    Cool bit of machining. Doesn’t really address the problem though. The entire drive was never designed for the kind of power being thrown at it. Im still not sure why everyone still sees the need to drag the entire gear case though the water when there are other proven options. If I had the...

    Wood vs Metal workbench

    I built a big rolling freestander from MDF. It is a torsion beam construction so it doesn’t bow even with several hundred pounds placed dead center. I skinned the top with Masonite. It’s a great assembly table that’s dead flat. I think it has 3 sheets of mdf in the thing. The top is 7” think...

    Redneck River Air conditioner

    Basically he is relying on water to pump through the radiator to cool the air passing through it. Water stops flowing when it hits 32 degrees. When you add salt, you lower the freezing point of water to about 6 degrees. This means that with enough salt, the water will become pumpable at much...

    Redneck River Air conditioner

    Try adding some salt to the ice next go around. It’ll lower the freezing point and let that water get really freaking cold.

    Perhaps one of the Mods can create a permanent post somewhere that is a list of contacts that have helped/willing to help. No doubt this will happen again, but some of the info here is gold. Best to keep it somewhere useful for future reference.

    To anyone in contact with the Search teams, I sent a dozen emails out last night requesting help from companies that either Rent or Manufacture or Sell side scan sonars. I already have one company (SeaFloor Systems, Inc.) that is willing to "provide a small sidescan sonar tool from Hummingbird...

    Boat Question Hallett 210 Tab Angle

    Pretty sure we are coming from the same place. Water compression from a boat ain’t happening.

    Boat Question Hallett 210 Tab Angle

    Actually I am not. Its highly unlikely, but it is possible. Quick excerpt. Yes! Temperature effects the viscosity of water and it’s an inverse relation between them. Viscosity is mainly governed by two things, Cohesive Forces between molecules Intermolecular collisions between layers...

    Boat Question Hallett 210 Tab Angle

    Personally, I like the idea of these vs a set of flaps. Appears to be a whole lot more science behind them vs a simple tab. Tabs will add drag when touching the water. As others have stated tabs should be clear of the water when retracted. Tabs cannot create lift...

    Hey River Runnin...do you or does anyone else know if the LEO uses side scan on their boats? Just spent a bunch of time looking at side scan on YouTube. Seems like it’s pretty freaking fantastic for seeing through the water regardless of time of day or water clarity and about 1000x safer than...
