Lots of things come to mind. A books worth of "Do Not Do This".

But reading some of the ones below, decades ago I worked at a couple of boat factories, and at one I did "final finish" to Tri-Hull boats. One of the things I needed to do was put a couple of inch or so holes up front in the deck where it "almost" met the hull so that water could drain down to the bilge pump. Being Tri-Hull there were ribs and stuff and I always put the holes in the right stringer rib except that one time. Got the inch hole saw and the Millwaukee drill and...rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr "Man this is awfully thick fiber glass this time" RRRrrrrRRRRRRrrrrrRRRRRRRR pop through and...concrete floor. Ohhhhhh noooooo, that aint good. That boat was supposed to ship that night but did not. I didn't get fired or anything, but she was a beautiful hole. Perfectly round, right through the hull making way for a very serious patch job.

If everything always went perfect this would be an unexcitingly dull world, eh?

Mark

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it. ... [Read Article]
