Re: Dempster #1201N

Drill and weld one, or drill tap and screw one in. Make sure it's oil tight, I think that passage for it may go thru the inside of the snout. Or maybe not.

Re: Sail blade design survey

Steve, for the record, after I designed and started building them, I never quite got into regular production, because like I said, life got in the way. However, jigs, fixtures, and other proto's and other things are done, just need to tweak a few things. PM me your address, I'll send you a pamphlet....

Re: Hand dug well question

I saw a video once that explained how they did that. Don't remember all of it, but they shored up the walls as they went down, then curbed it on the way up. Around here they used bricks or stone, even though we don't have stone.

Re: Look What I Broke Today!

I don't like this section! Everyone thinks I'm nearly perfect, and to post a mistake would tarnish my image. HAHAHAHAHA Had a little 6 ft WB on the stand almost finished, and I dropped the thing. Got lucky though, only broke the top hinge tab off. A little nickel rod, and almost good as new. Almost.
