<description><![CDATA[I slept in a bit this morning but got up to a cool morning on the edge of rain. It was a nice change]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I slept in a bit this morning but got up to a cool morning on the edge of rain. It was a nice change from the heat. I started out the day by putting a wrap of 3" tape around the ends of the yard and boom where holes will be drilled to run lines through to tie to the sail.</p>
<p>Then, I went downtown to the office to pick something up and I headed to the north end to buy some more lumber. Picked up some mahogany and some douglas fir and a big old 16' spruce 2 x 10 that I am going to make a mast from. If it breaks I'll try something different. $13.99 it cost. </p>
<p>Got home and had lunch. Terry and Chuck came by to check on the progress and sit in the boat .... on the seats. We had a few laughs before they headed off in one of Terry's fastidiously restored MGs. Dark British racing green...I like that colour a lot and may use it on this boat.</p>
<p>Then, I decided to do the hatches and decking a little different than what Jim suggests in the plans. I am doing them similar to how Chuck L. does his hatches. Quite a while ago Chuck sent me a link to photos of how he builds his hatches and decks and I decided I liked his way better. I think it will be stronger.</p>
<p>So, I started by measuring out from the centre lines on bulkheads 11 and 13, setting the opening and then laying out where to cut into the bulkhead support pieces. My plan was to cut on an angle from the bottom edge  up to the edge against the bulkhead plywood at the top. After making several cuts, remove the waste with a chisel. Then, cut matching angles on the support pieces and drop them in. Sort of like a wedged/dovetail joint. The support piece can't fall through to the bottom.</p>
<p>That went fairly well. Then I cut pieces to fit of 3/4 x 1 1/2 inch mahogany. After they were in place I cut pieces of douglas fir 3/4 x 2 1/2 inches or maybe it was 2 3/4 inches to use to form a box that fits inside the rectangle formed by the bulkheads and support pieces just installed. I rabbeted the joints using several passes on the table saw using the miter guide with the blade set to 5/16" high. (One of these days I am going to buy a dado blade set.) Some fiddling to get the pieces running fore and aft to fit and things were close enough to utilize the tremendous gap-filling properties of thickened epoxy. </p>
<p>Then, I pulled out a piece of 1/4" plywood that was too small to cover either of the bulkheads and cut out pieces to fit on either side of the rear hatch. There will also be enough left over for the hatch cover itself. It will be interesting to see if I will be able to use any of the other cutoff pieces for the front decking and hatch cover.</p>
<p>I also epoxied part of the mast partner together. I had been thinking I would epoxy the mast step into place and then align the partner before drilling holes in the bulkhead supports. Now, I think I will line the partner up to the centre as best I can, drill the holes and mount it and then I will determine exactly where the step should be located and epoxy it to the bottom.</p>
<p>Here are some photos...</p>
<p>This thing started bleeding while I was epoxying some stuff together...quite a surprise when I pulled my glove off  :-)<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been associated with the Assemblies of God (A/G) for a long time now.  Recently, I have separated myself to some extent however due to theological conflict on what I consider to be core biblical truths.  The AG has posted a video on their <a href="http://www.ag.org">website</a> now however, that I believe is an attempt to separate themselves from the Lakeland <em>revival</em>.  I believe there are some key points in this video and I encourage you all to watch and listen to what is being said.<br />
Some of my favorite lines from the video are:<br />
<em>Miraculous manifestations are never the test of a true revival</em><br />
<em>Paul also warns us: "Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. He has lost connections with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow" (Colossians 2:18-19).</em><br />
If this doesn't specifically point to Todd Bentley and Lakeland, Florida, then I'm not sure what does.</p>

<p><em>Granted I do not agree with everything the AG puts out, this video is an excellent example of why we should <strong>not</strong> be involved with the likes of Todd Bentley and Bob Jones.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I spent a lot of time with the belt sander shaping the rudder and leeboard. I also drilled holes in the rudder and rudder cheek and bolted them together. Not much to say about that but the wind was howling outside, it was hot and the belt sander is noisy. Our poor neighbours are going to be glad to see me loading this boat on a trailer and not working on it anymore.</p>
<p>Then, I hauled the 3/8" plywood up from the basement and started figuring out how to cut and fit the seats. I measured the widest point and used the jigsaw to cut the first seat roughly to size. It was so windy I didn't want to try using the table saw as everything cut is fed out the garage door to the driveway. I then laid this piece on top of the bulkheads and gunwales and marked the outline of the bulkheads and hull on the bottom of the sheet. </p>
<p>Started working away with my trusty plane....and working and working. As I proceeded I realized that things at the seat level weren't consistent with things at the gunwale level. I finally got the seat panel to drop in on top of the support 2x4 and rotated it towards the hull. Lots of work to do. I used a pencil to scribe the outer edge and then took down the high points. After a couple of iterations the gap looked pretty consistent but I had a lot of work to do. I decided to set the table saw fence right next to the blade so that I could take off little more than a saw kerf of width. Tried it. Still had lots extra. After two more tries the piece finally fit into place but I have larger gaps than I would like in places......BUT I have a seat in my boat!!!! I am so excited I just get into it and sit down. Then I lie down on my back and then on my side...I could sleep on it in a pinch but I think the boys will fit perfectly ;-)</p>
<p>Got busy on the second seat and in 35 minutes had it done and it fir much better than the first one. I didn't leave as much extra this time and it took a couple of passes with the table saw and a couple of scribing and planing sessions and I was done. </p>
<p>I grabbed a cushion from an old lounge chair, laid it on the seat, made myself a latte and stretched out and had my coffee. It felt great!</p>
<p>Here are some photos....</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">In between cleaning on Friday I helped Nat assemble one of his new <a href="http://canadiantire.ca/browse/subcategory_landing.jsp" target="_blank"><em>Canadian Tire</em></a> storage cabinets for the garage.  He's working towards "<em>Tool Heaven"</em> and this new cabinet is very similar to an <em>Ikea</em> unit so, we naturally had knobs, screws, nuts, bolts and nails scattered all over the cardboard box container along with a top, a bottom, a couple of sides and a couple of do-hinkies for inside support. Oh yes, and the little adjustable legs. With no part actually labeled and only given a number on the instruction sheet we somehow  managed to put the base together without too much difficulty. At first Nat thought there were pieces missing - that's always been our luck with Ikea units - but after a second count every nut, bolt, nail, screw and knob were accounted for. We twisted and turned the instruction sheet to match the unit sitting on the floor and to get our bearings of which end was up -<em>"No, this side is on the left". "No, that's the bottom." "Okay, Okay, now this part goes to your right"."Trust me, these are the bolts you want,! "No, No, don't put the dowels in yet, now ya gotta get 'em out!!!". </em>Well, you get the picture!! I then left Nat to his own devices to get the drawer together and the doors put on and, in the end the cabinet came out looking pretty good. Now, we have a couple more units to assemble and by then we should be pretty good pros!! It's nice that Nat is at least getting close to his "Tool Heaven" and he can get the garage set up for all those little projects we've got on a list somewhere!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This morning (Saturday) was pretty much perfect. We hopped on our bikes and took a trip into Ridgeway - the <a href="http://.forteriecanada.com/districts/ridgeway.htm" target="_blank"><em></em></a> <em><a href="http://www.forteriecanada.com/districts/ridgeway.htm" target="_blank">Ridgeway Summer Festival</a> </em>is on and all the shops set up tents outside of their stores, the whole main street is blocked off, and everyone has a gay old time walking up and down, checking out the great food, gifts and bakeware all along the main street and down through the market square. The fire department got in the act with a food  table,  a movie production company had five or six species of Owls sitting on their front lawn,  along with various snakes on display that appealed to every young boy that passed by.  It's a perfect weekend for it and we especially enjoyed the fact that we didn't have to worry about parking our car - we just tied our bikes to a tree and away we went. If we'd known about the pancakes and sausaages we would have wandered up early and had breakfast. Plus we were too early for lunch, even though the home cut fries smelled yummy!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We then headed into Niagara Falls to do lunch and I had Nat wander around Niagara Square for a few minutes. I'm having shopping withdrawal (dear sister, Bonnie, is scurrying to find some shelter before she's flung out onto the streets) so in order to get a partial fix I thought I could find something to tied me over - which I did - naturally!!!! So that should get me through the next several weeks!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I ripped the seat support piece and got it installed. Because the bolt that the leeboard rotates around passes through this support I did the following to make sure it passed through the right place: I took a piece of scrap and lined it up with a mark for the upper edge of the support. I drilled through the leeboard support into and through the scrap...being careful to avoid my body parts holding it against the hull. Then, I bent the support piece into place and held it there with a piece of scrap wile I marked where the leeboard bolt hole goes. I then lined up the scrap with this mark and, using the scrap as a guide, drilled a hole through the support piece.</p>
<p>I was then able to use the bolt to pull the support piece flush against the hull, move the ends into line and drill through the hull into them. Once I had drilled guide holes I took everything apart, painted things up with epoxy and then thickened epoxy and then pulled everything tight using the bolt to align things and get a few screws driven into place. Then I removed the bolt and wiped it down to get the bits of epoxy off it. After that it was pretty easy to line up the ends and screw things together until everything was nice and tight.</p>
<p><a href="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dsc_7882.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dsc_7882.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-255" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dsc_7883.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dsc_7883.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-256" /></a></p>
<p>Next on the agenda was sanding the yard and boom. I sanded all surfaces with 80 grit, then 150 and finally 220. </p>
<p><a href="http://buildingladybug.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/dsc_7881.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dsc_7881.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-254" /></a></p>
<p>Then, I figured out how I was going to build the mast partner and mast step using left-over pieces of 2x4.</p>
<p>Today, July 4th, I picked up some stuff from Bolt Supply and Lee Valley. I was a bit dismayed to find that the bolt length I needed for the leeboard wasn't available. (The bolt I have been using is about 1 1/2 inches too long) I came home and cut the parts for the two mast assemblies. While doing so, I managed to drop a mallet and nail my thumb leaving a big blood blister under the nail. I also cut some aluminum for the partner to size. It is really easy to work on the table saw. I had never cut aluminum before so I was a bit nervous making contact with my expensive Freud blade the first time.</p>
<p>I mixed up some epoxy and assembled the mast step. Then, I went over to my good friend Terry Dopson's to use his drill press to drill the holes in the parts of the partner. We got that done and then Terry...who is an expert in smashing his fingernails and leaving nasty blood blisters underneath them gave me his dremel tool and a sharp little bit to carefully cut a hole in my thumbnail and relieve the pressure.....man did the blood ever spurt out of that thing!!!! But it sure feels a lot better.</p>
<p>Before and after the surgery...<br />
<a href="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dsc_7886.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dsc_7886.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="532" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-257" /></a><br />
<a href="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dsc_7897.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dsc_7897.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="550" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-258" /></a></p>
<p>Came home after Chuck and Terry had me stay for supper and realized I had missed drilling two holes in the partner and also realized Terry might be able to help me with threading the too long bolt I had for the leeboard. Sure enough, he had the tools so I headed over and we ran the threads further down the bolt and cut off the excess and drilled the holes in the partner. </p>
<p>Came home, cleaned up a bit and called it a night. </p>
<p>Tomorrow...time to sand the rudder and leeboard and get the plywood out of the basement for the seats and get started on that. I may go looking for some lumber for the mast. I think I am going to use the Sitka Spruce I bought to make Greenland style kayak paddles. If I can find something that is long enough to laminate two pieces together and not have to make 5 or 6 scarfs I'll likely save 2 or 3 days of time.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I offer this methodology for thinking theologically about any particular theme or communal practice ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I offer this methodology for thinking theologically about any particular theme or communal practice in Scripture. What I offer, however, is neither comprehensive nor complete but a theological trajectory. I hope to get more practical with this in the next few posts.</p>
<p><em><strong>A Basic Methodology</strong></em></p>
<p><em>First,</em> and foundationally, the Christ Event (incarnation, ministry, death, resurrection and ascension) is the focal point.  It is the root and ground for living out the story of God.  This is a multi-dimensional point and therefore is pregnant with meaning and significance.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">At one level, we consider how any particular theme or practice is present in the ministry of Jesus itself, that is, how Jesus lived out the story of God.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">At another level, we consider how any particular theme or practice is rooted in the theological essence of the Christ Event, that is, how biblical interpreters of the event identified, interpreted and applied it.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">At a third level, we consider how any theme or practice is an expression of the divine intent in creation (e.g., imaging God) and the divine goal for creation (e.g., eschaton). </p>
<p><em>Second</em>, as we see the one who is true Israel living out the story of God, we also look into the history of Israel itself for the theology and practices which anticipate or are fullfilled in the Christ Event.</p>
<p><em>Third</em>, as we see the one who is the image of God living out the story of God, we also look into the history of the church as given in Scripture for the theology and practices which are the continuation of the Christ Event's meaning and significance among the disciples of Christ.</p>
<p><strong><em>Illustration</em></strong></p>
<p>It probably comes as no surprise that I would choose the sacraments to illustrate my theological hermeneutic.  I admit; it is an <a href="http://johnmarkhicks.wordpress.com/tag/sacraments/">interest</a> of mine.  :-) The below illustrations are very cursory and superficial, but hopefully they indicate the direction in which my thoughts flow.  For greater detail on each, I would suggest reading my books on each of the sacraments  (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Come-Table-Revisioning-Lords-Supper/dp/0971428972"><em>Come to the Table</em></a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Down-River-Pray-Revisioning-Transforming/dp/0972842535/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1214774017&#38;sr=1-2"><em>Down in the River to Pray</em></a> [co-authored with Greg Taylor], and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gathered-People-Revisioning-Transforming-Encounter/dp/0891125507/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1214774056&#38;sr=1-4"><em>A Gathered People</em></a> [co-authored with Johnny Melton and Bobby Valentine]) . And everyone needs to buy their own copies!  :-)</p>
<p><em>Baptism</em> is rooted in the baptism of Jesus, anticipated by the water rituals and types of Israel, and practiced by the early church as a participation in the gospel of Christ.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">In terms of the <em>Christ Event</em>...</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ministry</span>. The baptism of Jesus is the first Christian baptism. At the water, Jesus was declared to be the beloved Son of God, anointed with the Holy Spirit for ministry, and dedicated himself to the will of God as a disciple of the Father. As disciples of Jesus, we follow him into the water and experience the same--declared to be children of God, anointed with the Spirit and dedicate ourselves to discipleship.</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Gospel</span>. Our baptism is theologically rooted in the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. Romans 6:3-4 affirms that baptism is the means by which we participate in the death and resurrection of Jesus. It is a "gospel" moment in that we participate in the gospel (die with and are raised with Christ) through baptism. The explicit connection between baptism and the gospel is not an identification of the two as if they are the same thing--baptism is not the gospel, but it is an experience of the gospel, a means for participating in the gospel. I include ascension because of the language in Ephesians 2 where we are "raised up with Jesus" to sit in heavenly places with him. We reign with Christ and thus participate not only in the eschatological hope of the resurrection but in the eschatological reign (kingdom) of God.</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Creation and Eschaton</span>. Our baptism is an entrance into--and an experience of--communion with the Triune God that is both intended in creation and consummated in the Eschaton. Thus, it is part of the Great Commision of Matthew 28 which describes baptism as a movement into the divine fellowship ("into the name of"). Baptism serves the divine intent of transforming us into the image of Christ and the divine goal of communion. Baptism displays the oneness of the community as reflection of the oneness of God himself and the oneness of the body of Christ.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">In terms of the history of <em>Israel</em>, there are stories/events within Israel's Scripture that function as types of the baptismal experience in the gospel (e.g., Noah, Moses and the Exodus). But further the baptisms contained in Israel's covenant with God anticipated the the function of baptismal waters in the new covenant (cf. Hebrews 6:1-2; 9:10; 10:22; Leviticus 15:1-33; 16:4, 24).</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">In terms of the history of the <em>church</em>, the disciples participated in the baptism of Jesus by continuing the practice of baptism in their evangelistic work as a means of forgiveness, forming community and experiencing the transformative presence of the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p><em>The Lord's Supper</em> is rooted in the table ministry of Jesus, anticipated in the fellowship meals (offerings) of ancient Israel, and practiced by the early church as a participation in the gospel of Christ.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">In terms of the <em>Christ Event</em>...</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ministry</span>. Jesus, as the presence of God in the world, ate at the table with both sinners and "righteous." His table ministry was a concrete parable about the kingdom of God and his table ministry demonstrated "kingdom table etiquette." At his last table before his death he called his disciples to continue to sit at table with each other as fellow-servants, and after his resurrection he himself ate with them in continuation of his table ministry.</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Gospel</span>. Table is about communion, and it is a communion in the gospel (body and blood) of Jesus Christ. We commune with each other and with God because of the altar (cross) and this communion is vibrant because we commune with the living Christ (resurrection) as we sit at his table in his kingdom. We sit as reigning kings at the table of the King in the already-but-not-yet kingdom of God (ascension motif). It is sanctifying nourishment and transforming participation in the gospel.</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Creation and Eschaton</span>. God created us for communion and he intends to fully establish that communion in the eschaton. The table is an experience of the eschatological reality in the present which is a fulfillment of the divine intent in creation that was detoured by our own brokenness and sin. The table is a renewal that divine intent in the present and an anticipation of the Messianic Banquet to come.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">In terms of the history of<em> Israel</em>, the sacrificial system instituted a rhythmic experience of table at the festivals and through individual sacrifices (e.g., fellowship offerings). God met his people at the table after the sacrifice of the altar. The people "saw" God as they ate and drank in his presence.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">In terms of the history of the <em>church</em>, the disciples continued the table ministry of Jesus in their own communities. They shared their food, resources and fellowship through the table--a place where the rich and poor were to share the grace and communion of God as one body.</p>
<p><em>Assembly</em> is rooted in the communal habits of Jesus, anticipated in the rhythmic cycle of Israel's assemblies, and practiced by the early church as an experience of the gospel of Christ.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">In terms of the <em>Christ Event</em>...</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ministry</span>. Jesus participated in the festivals and weekly sabbaths of his community, but his participation was not merely as an attendant. Rather his presence--as the presence of the incarnate God in the community--transformed those festivals and sabbaths into the presence of the in-breaking kingdom of God. He is the light of the festival of lights; he is the bread of the Passover; he is the new temple of God himself. He gathers a people "into" his name and assures them that he will be present among them just as the glory of God was present in the temple of Israel.</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Gospel</span>. The incarnation is a partial fulfillment of God's presence among his people, and the outpouring of the Spirit after the ascension of Jesus is another partial fulfillment that presence. In addition, as the ascended high priest seated at the right hand of God, Jesus invites us to draw near to the Father through his blood and enter the Holy of Holies as we assemble with believers whose hearts have been sprinkled by that blood and their bodies washed in pure water. Christology grounds our entrance into the presence of God--both through the indwelling of the Spirit and through assembly where the Spirit dwells within the body to mediate our "ascension" into the throne room of God to worship with the saints and angels gathered there.</p>
<p style="padding-left:60px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Creation and Eschaton</span>. That God intended to dwell with his people is a key theme throughout the plot of God's story. It begins in creation where the community of God created a community to share the communion of love, and God walked in the Garden with his community.  It is also the end of the story where God dwells with his people in the new heaven and new earth so that there is no need for a temple to mediate or locate God's presence.  Rather, the fullness of God dwells with his people in the Eschaton as the goal of his redemptive work in the world.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">In terms of the history of <em>Israel</em>, the sacred assemblies of Israel in Leviticus 23 established a rhythm of divine presence within the community. These assemblies were types of future assemblies gathered into the name of Jesus and fufilled in Jesus himself.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">In terms of the history of the <em>church</em>, disciples gathered to break bread, pray, praise and hear the story of God. Their gatherings were not mere occasions of mutual edification but participations in the eschatological reality of the heavenly throne room.  When they gathered, they gathered to God and Jesus by the Spirit; they joined the festive assembly of the angels; they joined the church from all over the world and the saints already around the throne. They gathered in the Holy of Holies, the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of God (Hebrews 12:22-24).</p>
<p><strong><em>Concluding Note</em></strong></p>
<p>I admit that I "waxed" a bit "theological" (some may think "good," some may say "huh?") and perhaps impractical in this post, but at the root is something very simple and practical to which I hope to turn in my next post in this series.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Worked hard all day...Canada Day....and got another yard/spar laminated. I did that first thing before it got warm. Then I worked on the seat supports. </p>
<p>I cut a scrap piece of mahogany into pieces for the spaces on the bulkheads between the vertical supports and the sides. Then I ripped a longer piece of mahogany that I had partly used for the vertical supports into a 1 1/2 inch wide piece to go along the side.</p>
<p>It took me quite a while to get these pieces installed dry. Getting the side piece in place was really hard. I cut it in half thinking that would make it easier to install but it wasn't..I don't think. I don't know how successful I would have been trying to get it lined up with everything covered in epoxy.</p>
<p>At the end of the night I just have the side support on the leeboard side (Starboard) to install. It was too late to start ripping lumber in my driveway so that will have to wait until tomorrow. </p>
<p>I'm beat! Here are some pictures....<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sunday, June 29th was a HOT day...well for here anyway after the long cold spring we have had. I was in the garage at 7:45 trying to get a few things done. First off I laminated a spar together. Used every C-clamp that  I own to keep the joint together and align both halves of the spar.</p>
<p><a href="http://buildingladybug.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/cimg0316.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/cimg0316.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-237" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/cimg0318.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/cimg0318.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-238" /></a></p>
<p>Next, I fabricated two seat supports from mahogany. I figured this would take no time at all but, as usual, it took me way longer than I expected. I measured where it would go on the bulkhead, how high the 2x4 would be and laid out the tapers. I then clamped this blank to a sawhorse with a piece of 1/4 ply to act as a fence and used the router to trim the tapers. I spent some time sanding and planing the imperfections and then used this blank to cut another by using the router and template bit again.</p>
<p>Then, it was time to lay out the holes for the 1/4" bolts and to countersink them with a 3/4" Forstner bit. It took me a while to find the instructions for this drill add-on that has a base and allows you to do a pretty decent job without a drill press. I NEARLY blew it by drilling the countersink holes on the wrong side of the second piece - caught myself just in time...if you are doing something similar, be sure to double check and mark which side the holes get drilled on or you could wind up making a big boo-boo!</p>
<p>Got that done and then fitted the pieces to the bulkheads and the fillets where the bottom joins the bulkhead. Got things lined up and then drilled pilot holes and screwed the supports to the bulkhead. </p>
<p>Painted the mating surfaces with epoxy and then added wood flour and cabosil to the remainder, put that on using a sandwich bag and screwed the support to the bulkhead, smoothed out the joint with my finger and then scooped up any leftover epoxy with a plastic spreader.</p>
<p>Took me most of the day to get the first two made and attached to the boat.</p>
<p><a href="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/dsc_7851.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/dsc_7851.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-245" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/dsc_7855.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/dsc_7855.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-246" /></a></p>
<p>I managed to get the two for the other bulkhead roughed out before leaving for a concert at 4:30.</p>
<p>Monday, June 30, 2008 - Finished shaping the seat supports for the front bulkhead, attached one before going out for supper and then did the second when we came home. It was hot yesterday - 32 Celsius or 90 F, and the epoxy set up pretty fast. When I put the wood flour/cabosil mixture into the sandwich bag it was getting pretty warm to the touch and the lump that was left over hardened up VERY quickly. </p>
<p>Here are some catch-up photos of the leeboard guard/supports and other stuff....</p>

<p class="subhd"> </p>
<p class="subhd">Growth of Stainless Steel</p>
<p class="body14">Think of the many uses of stainless steel and you will quickly understand the opportunity that <a href="http://www.louzampini.com/Wera-bits-and-Accessories-s/88.htm" target="_blank">Wera Stainless Steel Tools</a> represent.</p>
<p class="body14">Boats, trailers, pools, clean rooms, food process equipment, street furniture and architectural features. Even specified building materials and fasteners on the North American West Coast – it's all stainless steel!</p>
<p class="body14">The stainless steel screw category grew by 68.8% worldwide from 1994 to 2002 (compared to 9.6% for non-stainless steel screws). And it's not slowing down!</p>
<p class="subhd">The Rust Contamination Issue</p>
<p class="body14">When a ferrous insert tool is used with a stainless steel fastener, the intense pressure exerted leaves behind microscopic traces of carbon steel. These can oxidize and cause extraneous rust, which is unsightly and can lead to serious corrosion if left untreated.</p>
<p class="body14">The ugly rust that you see dripping out of stainless steel fasteners can be prevented! It's not a fastener problem - it's a tool problem. The solution is <a href="http://www.louzampini.com/Wera-bits-and-Accessories-s/88.htm">Wera Stainless Steel</a>.</p>
<p class="subhd">Ice Hardening: The Science Behind Wera Stainless Steel</p>
<p class="body14"><a href="http://www.louzampini.com/Wera-bits-and-Accessories-s/88.htm">Wera Tools</a> is a market-leading screwdriving tool manufacturer in Europe. One of the ways we have kept the lead is through our commitment to innovation.</p>
<p class="body14">The problem of rusting fasteners caused by ferrous contamination has never been solved. You can coat fasteners or treat them with acid, but to eliminate the problem entirely, you need stainless steel bits and drivers. And until now, stainless steel made hard enough for industrial applications has been too brittle for everyday industrial use.</p>
<p class="body14">After extensive testing and an investment in the millions of dollars, Wera Tools' Research &#38; Development experts in Wuppertal, Germany came up with the ultimate solution. A cryogenic (vacuum ice-hardening) process cools the steel. This tempers the steel in a gasless chamber, which preserves flexibility while giving tools optimal hardness and durability values.</p>
<p class="body14">This hardness, combined with some of Wera's other innovations, gives you stainless steel bits, drivers and hex keys that are shop-floor ready. Join the Stainless Steel Revolution!</p>

<description><![CDATA[On February 2 of this year I conducted a one day seminar at the North Davis Church of Christ in Arli]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On February 2 of this year I conducted a one day seminar at the North Davis Church of Christ in Arlington, Texas. They had invited me to prepare some materials for a congregational-wide study of Baptism, the Lord's Supper and Assembly based on my three books (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Come-Table-Revisioning-Lords-Supper/dp/0971428972"><em>Come to the Table</em></a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Down-River-Pray-Revisioning-Transforming/dp/0972842535/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1214774017&#38;sr=1-2"><em>Down in the River to Pray</em></a> [co-authored with Greg Taylor], and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gathered-People-Revisioning-Transforming-Encounter/dp/0891125507/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1214774056&#38;sr=1-4"><em>A Gathered People</em></a> [co-authored with Johnny Melton and Bobby Valentine]) in their Sunday Bible classes.</p>
<p>The seminar was conducted for teachers and interested parties, and the material was used in Bible classes from February 9 to June 8 (I presented the first two lessons on Feb 2 in a combined Bible class and the morning assembly). I thank Doug Peters, the preaching minister of the church, for inviting me to conduct the "North Davis University"--as it is called--for the Winter of 2008. The sermon in audio or video (yuck!) is available <a href="http://northdavischurch.org/281343.ihtml">here</a>.</p>
<p>I have uploaded the teaching outlines for this twenty lesson series to my <a href="http://johnmarkhicks.wordpress.com/bible-class-materials/">Bible Class</a> page. It is entitled "<a href="http://johnmarkhicks.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/transforming-encounter-of-the-sacramental-kind.doc">Transforming Encounter: Baptism, Lord's Supper and Assembly</a>."</p>
<p>The objectives of this series were two-fold.  First, it attempts to shift our thinking about these "ordinances" or "sacraments" from an anthropocentric orientation ("what we do") to a more theocentric one ("what God does"). The sacramental character of Baptism, Lord's Supper and Assembly is located in the nature of the divine act through these gifts. Without denying that there is human responsibility and action involved in each of these moments, the emphasis belongs on what God does in order to appreciate their function as means of grace.</p>
<p>Second, the series attempts to renew our experience of these "ordinances" or "sacraments" as means of grace by which God communes with us, transforms us, and empowers us for his mission in the world. The goal is not merely cognitive nor intellectual but rather practical, concrete and communal. How might we experience these moments of divine grace in ways that embody and bear witness to the divine act among us? I think that this an important question for churches, especially as assemblies become more focused on mutual edification rather than divine presence, as baptism becomes more privatized as an event for the youth group, immediate family or a small group, and as the Lord's Supper continues to be a private, vertical experienced between God and isolated individuals in our assemblies.</p>
<p>It is opportune for me to offer this series at this point as I will soon resume my series on hermeneutics.  If one reads through the outline below, the series follows a redemptive-historical agenda:  God (and creation assumed here), then Israel, then the Ministry of Jesus, then the Church (including the history of the church) and leads to contemporary theological reflection and practice. Eschatological considerations are scattered throughout the series. This is an example, I think--and I hope, of theological hermeneutics at work.</p>

There is more than one provocativeness advanced guy undiscoverable for recognize that creating not right catcall amidst the thousands vent there. Nothing else bring to mind number one makes the response to stimuli and also in the flesh an in pluralistic ways. Instead apropos of slipping extinguished over against parish dexterous indeterminate unremarked birds, alter ego are ending as far as assure that homo someone perching bird.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight after we had a great evening watching Cirque de Soleil's "Saltimbanco" show I epoxied and bolted the upper leeboard guard to the gunwale. I thought I had lots of epoxy on all surfaces but I didn't get a lot of squeezeout from the side panel and guard so I also drilled some holes and drove some screws through the side panel into the back of the leeboard guard. That fixed things up!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>En algún momento nos puede ser práctico obtener la versión de un ensamblado, por ejemplo para un formulario "Acerca de". Si no sabes qué es un ensamblado te recomiendo esta lectura sobre <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/43wc4hhs.aspx" target="_blank">dominio de aplicaciones y ensamblados</a> que está disponible en la <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com" target="_blank">MSDN</a>.</p>
<p>El código para averiguar esto es muy simple tan solo hay que hacer</p>
<p>[sourcecode language='c-sharp']<br />
string appName = Assembly.GetAssembly(this.GetType()).Location;<br />
AssemblyName assemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(appName);<br />
string message = assemblyName.Name + " - " + assemblyName.Version + System.Environment.NewLine;<br />
MessageBox.Show(message);<br />
[/sourcecode]</p>
<p>Si investigamos un poco, veremos que no es complicado averiguar la versión de todos los ensamblados que usa nuestra aplicación. Hemos de tener en cuenta que son lo que "usa" y no los que referencia, ya que el compilador, se encarga de eliminar las referencias a los ensamblados que no usamos. El código es el siguiente:</p>
<p>[sourcecode language='c-sharp']<br />
AssemblyName[] assemblyNames = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetReferencedAssemblies();<br />
string message = string.Empty;<br />
foreach (AssemblyName assemblyName in assemblyNames)<br />
{<br />
  message += assemblyName.Name + " - " + assemblyName.Version + System.Environment.NewLine;<br />
}<br />
MessageBox.Show(message);<br />
[/sourcecode]</p>
<p>Saludos y hasta la próxima.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Picked up a 5/8" Forstner bit today to countersink holes large enough for the washers used with the 1/4" bolts used to attach the upper leeboard guard to the gunwale. I measured the distance from end to end on the gunwale...33". Then I measured in 1 1/2" from each end for the two end bolts and then I measured 6" intervals from the 1 1/2" marks. I put a tick mark on the edge of the gunwale and then used a square to extend the lines. I used the joint between the two laminations on the gunwale as the centre and marked the location of each hole. </p>
<p>I drilled small guide holes and then used the Forstner bit. I was using an attachment to the drill that allows me to set a stop for the depth and also has a base that makes it more likely that the holes will be perpendicular to the surface. After the Forstner bit was done its job I drilled 1/4" holes through the gunwales and the upper leeboard guard which I had clamped to the gunwale. SOme of the holes were less than perfectly centered so I would suggest getting a Forstner bit a bit larger than the washers. My bit was exactly the same size as the washer. The tightening forced them down in the holes but I think it would be better had I used a 3/4" Forstner bit instead of the 5/8" bit.</p>
<p>After that was done I moved everything to the side to permit us to move the new van into the garage as severe thunderstorms were predicted and we don't want any hail damage on the new Sienna, thank-you very much!</p>
<p>I then disassembled the upper leeboard guard in order to not have anything in my way for the installation of the lower leeboard guard. </p>
<p><a href="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/cimg0252.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/cimg0252.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-230" /></a></p>
<p>I screwed the guard on and traced around it with a pencil to help lining it up when the epoxy laden pieces are lined up. Then I took it off, mixed some epoxy and brushed it on the lower guard and the hull where it will be installed. I mixed up some more epoxy and thickened it pretty much to the point of fillet thickness. I spread that on both surfaces with a stick very generously as there were some irregularities on the inner surface of the guard and I wanted to be sure of a completely covered and filled joint. I lined things up and screwed the guard from the inside of the hull with 3/4" screws. I plan to use 2" long screws to screw through the 3/4" thick seat support (that will be installed over the 3/4" screws), through the hull and into the leeboard support....just to tie it together a little bit more.</p>
<p><a href="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/cimg0246.jpg"><img src="http://buildingladybug.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/cimg0246.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-228" /></a></p>
<p>I radiused the squeeze-out with the end of a mixing stick and removed the excess with a stick and a scraper...and called it a night. I plan to get up early tomorrow, mix up a little EZ-Fillet and put a thicker fillet on the top and bottom and then lay some tape in the fillet and saturate with unthickened epoxy. Likely a bit of overkill but Jim says to make these joints strong so I can't think of what else to do.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I picked up some more lumber from Windsor plywood before heading for home. Once I got home I started working on the lower leeboard support. I used the upper guard as a template for the curve of the hull. I clamped the blank to the upper leeboard guard against the fence that was still nailed to the upper leeboard guard and then traced the curve onto the blank. This way, I had a surface that would be parallel to the upper leeboard slot and it would be easy to rip it to the correct width.</p>
<p>I clamped that blank to a sawhorse and used the router freehand to get things close. Finished up with some sanding with the Sand Shark to get it to fit.</p>
<p>Then, I screwed the lower guard to the hull and used a plumb bob to mark points that were parallel to the inner upper leeboard support. Put it onto the table saw and ripped it to width plus a little bit.</p>
<p>Then, I marked out where the hole for the bolt should go through and took the leeboard suport and leeboard to my friend Terry Dopsons' place to drill the holes using his drill press. After we did that, Terry came back to my place. We put the boat up on sawhorses and assembled the leeboard guards, I drilled a hole through the hull and we bolted the leeboard in place. It is lined up pretty dang good!! I need to file a bit of material from the knob on the leeboard and it will be fine. I made the slot a bit too wide. It is about 3/16" wider than the leeboard...not much more than Jim recommends in the plans (or his book - can't remember which) bit it seems a bit sloppy. I don't think it wil really be important but it is a reminder that it is easier to remove material than it is to add it.</p>
<p>After we had that done, we started ripping lumber. Ripped a 2x4 in 3/4" slices to laminate for the yard and boom. Ripped a 1x8 of mahogany in 2" and  2 - 1 1/2" strips for the seat support posts and the keel respectively.</p>
<p>Cleaned up, sanded a bit inside the boat and spent some time figuring out how to support the seats along the hull and how to reinforce the leeboard mounting bolt.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The pieces of 1/4" plywood that I laminated together...weren't. I had gaps and I had to consign the piece to the scrap heap. That will teach me for trying to stretch the epoxy and not screw/clamp it together properly as I only weighted it down with a toolbox and bucket full of clamps.</p>
<p>I spent a lot of time figuring out how to line up the edges of the two leeboard guards so that they are parallel to the centre line of the boat and also how to fabricate them. I used a 2x4 to line up with the centre line marks on the bulkheads, stretched a string from front to back to make sure that the 2x4 was lined up and then used my drywall t-square and a square to align the edge of the leeboard guard with the centre. I used the 2x4 to find the line 39 1/2" back from the 4.5 bulkhead for the leeboard bolt hole. </p>
<p>I made a template for the upper leeboard guard from 1/4" plywood and lined it all up. I cut the scribing line for the fit to the hull with the jigsaw and then filed and sanded to the line. It fit perfectly.</p>
<p>I then epoxied up another lamination using plywood that was cut to be just a bit larger than the template. I Did the lamination one layer at a time and I really put on a lot of thickened epoxy AND I screwed the layers together using about 12 screws to ensure that there were no gaps. I used the template as the top layer of the laminate. I made sure to remove excess epoxy around its lower edge. After that was cured, I scraped it to remove the stray bits of epoxy, clamped it to the sawhorse, fired up the router and used the template straight bit to shape all the layers to the top layer. </p>
<p>I then clamped it to the gunwale again and rechecked the line I had marked out as being parallel to the centre line. I made a small adjustment of about 1/16". I took the support off the gunwale and clamped a piece of 1/4 ply along the inner line I had just marked. Then I ripped a piece of mahogany scrap to 1 1/8" wide and placed it against the edge of the 1/4" ply and clamped another piece of 1/4" ply against that. This was done to make sure that the gap was 1 1/8" from one end to the other and that the two "fences" were parallel. Once the fences were secure I removed the mahogany.</p>
<p>Then, it was time to make some sawdust! I clamped the guard like a bridge between two sawhorses and started making lots of passes, gradually increasing the depth of each pass until I had gone through the bottom layer of the guard. This was done freehand, just being very careful not to bump into the fences. Once I had reached through and the upper ballbearing guide was against the fences I slowly removed the excess from the sides of the slot. Carefully removed material at the ends where there was no fence to stop the bit and I was finished. Routers sure allow you to do an amazing job! It looked great!</p>
<p>And that is about it...I am going to level the boat and use a plumb bob to find the edge for the lower leeboard guard in the next day or two and get that cut out. I'l take it to a friend that has a drill press to drill the bolt hole and then it will be time to raise the boat up on the sawhorses so that I can make sure that the leeboard goes up and down properly before epoxying and screwing everything together permanently.</p>

<description><![CDATA[It’s difficult to believe what you’re hearing on your first encounter with the voice of Hayden T]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://dontsmokeinbed.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/wildbeasts.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-26" src="http://dontsmokeinbed.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/wildbeasts.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="233" height="233" /></a><span style="font-family:Verdana;">It’s difficult to believe what you’re hearing on your first encounter with the voice of Hayden Thorpe, lead singer of Kendal four-piece Wild Beasts. Surely no genuine artistic outfit would opt for such an overblown falsetto croon? The man appears to be attempting a Kate Bush impression! Yet as the sweeping strains of debut album <em>Limbo, Panto</em> take hold, it becomes strikingly apparent that Wild Beasts are, in fact, utterly serious. Overstated it may be but the passion and inventiveness on this record are undeniable.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">While the absolutely delightful early single ‘Assembly’ boasted an addictive silliness, the song is boldly absent on Wild Beasts’ full-length debut where they seem to take a more sincere approach. From the swirling crescendo of opener ‘Vigil for a Fuddy Duddy’ onwards, this is a musical exploration that borrows lightly from all sides but gives back more than you could hope for. There are injections of soft funk and haunting wails; sometimes it sounds like a classical concert, sometimes like a circus; but rarely (if ever) does this sound like your typical indie rock band. </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The playful side is still there, most obviously in 'Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants' which takes you to giddy stratospheres with all the spring its name suggests. However, there's so much more than caricature and camp to be found here.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> <!--[endif]--></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Thorpe’s voice is the central uniting thread in all of this, projecting the kind of intensity usually purveyed by Final Fantasy’s Owen Pallet. It might be almost laughable to the uninitiated and nears tiresome if overplayed, but it holds a strange beauty in the right dose. The falsetto makes it even more powerful when he comes down an octave into his guttural growl of a normal register. It also finds a great counterpoint in the voice of bassist Tom Fleming (most notably on new single ‘The Devil’s Crayon’), whose thick baritone lies somewhere between Anthony of the Johnsons and Editors’ Tom Smith. Most of all there’s something so intent about Thorpe that it’s difficult to doubt what he’s saying. He does, after all, swear on his own cock and balls and that’s not an oath a man takes lightly. When he declares “<em>I’m not a soft touch and I won’t be seen as such</em>,” you don’t for a second doubt him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">The rest of the words are a rollicking journey through rhyme and alliteration and every phrase rolls off of Thorpe’s tongue and bounces around your head. Few would be daring enough to use the lines “<em>When I’m utter putty I’m wetblanketfully lay lumpen/I feel red hot heart’s heat beneath left teat a thumpin’.</em>” This might sound painfully over the top on paper but Wild Beasts somehow bring credibility to their ridiculousness. True there’s a sense of traditional English eccentricity and foppery here and <em>Limbo, Panto positively </em>revels in its own pomposity; however, the initial shock-value of the vocals gives way to the revelation that this is a serious, stunning and musically accomplished album. Absurd and unfashionable it may be, yet it's utterly charming if you want it to be.</span></p>
