Good a.m., gentlemen,Tax season is past, I'm back to work on my ship! I have all but finished my propeller. It is laminated of oak, pretty much toHoward Henderson's plans. All that is left is re-balancing it aftervarnishing, and polishing out the varnish. I used Epifanes varnish on it. Wonderful stuff and makes a BEAUTIFUL finish. I cut out my trailing edges last night. This data might help someone. Theywere cut from 3/4" spruce stock. I ripped some sticks 1 3/8" wide. Then Iset the blade angle on my table saw to 12 degrees and the rip fence 3/16"from the base of the blade. This enabled me split these strips (turned onedge) into two triangular trailing edge pieces with little waste. I thensimply ripped the skinny side of these strips off to give a total width of 11/4". They came out beautifully.I hope to start covering about June 1. 'All' that is left is to assemble thewing panels and associated struts and cables. Ha!See you gentlemen later.John________________________________________________________________________________

John,I am also interested in making a wood prop. I have lots of oak. Where didyou get the plans? Do you use a prop making "machine"?Thanks,Ted Brousseau/APFnfn00979(at)gator.naples.netSunny SW Florida________________________________________________________________________________

I have two Piet projects for sale. One was assembled by Ron Lustig formerly of Chicago. My husband Carl Vought bought Ron's project about three years ago and then decided to start from scratch on a Piet of his own. Carl died July 10 of this year. I'm eager to sell each of the projects.Contact me at 256-883-9869.Barbara Vought ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piet projectBarbara,Sorry to bother you again, but more questions on the two projects:Where are you located and what's included in each of the projects, how close are they to being completed. I am interested can you provide pics and do you have a builders log from your hubby's build. Why did he decide not to continue with the project he bought? Was hubby a big man and did he build for his size or did he stay strictly to pietenpol plansThanksJohn________________________________________________________________________________

I am illiterate when it comes to Piets (and e-mai!). If you can call at 257-883-9869 I can tell you what little I know and refer you to one of Carl's friends who does know . If you send me your snail-mail address I can send you a listing of the parts of one of the planes. They were was assembled by a man in Chicago.
