I actually rigged a block and tackle with a scale to weigh mine. It was accurate but it cost me a little for the scale...however, don't you guys all have fish scales that weigh upwards of 150??? :D

Evening work fail...

Went to work on mast. Broke screw driver. Broke second screwdriver. Broke screw. Swore. Drank beer.

Now that I'm out of tools to work on mast will turn attention to making spar tomorrow.

If I had a scale that could take 50lb more I'd just flip the hull, lift her on my back and step on scale. I moved her like that before painting. And seats. And foam. Hmmm... that's a bad idea.

If you were like that SOB tool it take you out back and dispose of you in a hole. That's what's about to happen to the sob

If that SOB eats another blade or sanding pad I will kill it. Kill it i tell you. Kill it with 0.40" of lead, arrows, fire, bricks and anything else that will end it.

I
Hate
That
Tool

But it is useful. Which makes me hate it even more.

I have about 6 sanding pads. The only way I can keep the sanding disk on the pad is to use spray adhesive. It is a pain to peel them off but at least I can get some use out of them. The blades are way over priced but I have found so many uses for them I just buck up and buy them.
