I would have thought all the work we had done on Twisted Sheets would have taken two months. It stretched out for almost a year. Then I spent a week "fixing the fixes". Bolts missing. Belts on wrong pulleys. Little things like ignition wires left out entirely.<br /><br />And we're still Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025068942489566045.post-60639407370203150182013-08-28T17:47:47.005-04:002013-08-28T17:47:47.005-04:00I like these "fill in" blogs, bits and p...I like these "fill in" blogs, bits and pieces of what you guys are up to. Since we're all friends it is preferable to long silence then long elaborate blogs about one subject. Seems incredible Twisted Sheets has been on the hard nearly a whole year now?? Wow.

We're pretty limited as to what materials are available here, and two part compounds that use hardener don't seem to last long.<br /><br />As for Twisted Sheets, there is a 4 inch diameter ventilation port in the port hull head. It has a small scoop to keep rain out.

Noticed you post on a 3D printer. I have one also, tricky little buggers on occasion. One of things, I am getting ready to do is prototype the piece on a 3D printer and then cast it in silicone. Very useful if you need to make a dozen of something or looking for strength. Thanks for the entertaining read!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745460322136623120noreply@blogger.com
