Comment on Wood Turning by Tim Monaghan

Tony, I saw an article in the islander Magazine in July.. R u the same Tony? My oldest son Just passed the Texas Bar Exam and I would like to inquire about getting 3 wooden frames to display his diplomas in his office. He was married in Galveston several years ago and he and his wife have a special place in their hearts for the town. Is this a job that you would consider?… using either drift wood or like your bowl, wood from Ike damages trees.. Thanks for your consideration… Tim Monaghan tforbesm56@yahoo.com

Herb and I have been trying to get you to go with us but you have not made it yet. So you tell Herb when you can make it for a paddle. Then Herb and I will come and go for a nice long paddle and row in the kayak. I was told that you were going to show me how to do that. We just are unable to get together. Well you have a good day and stay safe.. Herbs friend Patty

Received your email, thanks!
I have built a Sea Flea in ‘07 and she’s outgrown it now.. back to build a bigger kayak and a spare for friends to go along if needed.
I love building the kayaks… I am totally hooked!!!
I’ll be looking forward to building many more to come!

Thanks for the encouragement… and yes, I may just be back if I “get stuck”..

Warm Smiles, ~Heather

Hi Heather!

Good to see the interest and a mother daughter build. Both Anton and I used the Yost offsets from the internet. Tom uses decimal feet, so .5 would be 6 inches. 0.745 = 8 15/16″ Another great spot to keep a watch on is the Kayak Forum, (link to the right..) when there, click on kayak building. Tom Yost frequents that forum quite often and you can probably get some info direct from him. You will see all kinds of building going on there. I told Anton about your post, so you may hear from him too. Here’s a guy that built one, http://pawistik.blogspot.com/2008/03/another-kayak-to-build-sea-flea.html

Good luck!.. write back if you get stuck, or need a few words of encouragement!

Tony

Hello, My name is Heather.
I am a single mom of my daughter Lilly.
We built Tom Yost’s Sea Flea together in 2007 and now we are back to build the Sea Pup.
I am in this adventure myself with no one to help me so I am looking around for a little help.
I am needing help withe the conversion from Tom’s offsets converted to something I can understand. Preferebly in inches?
Would you by chance still have the plans from when you built the SeaPup?
I would be quite tickled to hear from you!
Thank you for your time.
Happy Paddling!
Warm Smiles, ~Heather and daughter Lilly
