hi all,things are getting slow for me here,except for my honey do list and a steering wheel to do.
i found my 1983 complete handyman encyclopedia,still in mint condition,it has been put away since 1983,i got it because i was just married then,and wanted a boat badly,i thought about building the 20 foot plywood boat thats in it,but didnt have the extra income.
its a pretty good read, with plans and material list.
this is volume #2,goes from ball joints to boat engine.
it even has a buck board with a sail plans,and a padddle board plan.
its not worth much,but its still cool,the plans and things in it look like they are from the 60's.

what im planing on doing is having a little contest for it,if thats ok with ken and fg.
if your interested just post here,the order in which you post will be your number,example the 1st person that posts is #1,the person that posts the 4th post is #4 and so on,please only one post per person.
post by noon on friday the october 21st,then i will have my wife draw a number and name from a coffee can,lol,i dont have a good hat,lol,
the shipping is on me,this is just for a little fun,i hope you enjoy it as much as i do,lol
there are 8 pics im going to put up.
