Cheap!!!

Marshmat - shiny always costs more, don't matter how you get the shine! If it looks shiny it costs!

 

Frosty I do believe it's true you DO look like Errol Flynn - how longs he been dead?

 

Cheap

It's a point I've made before in earlier threads dealing with 'economic' boat building. Bottle-screws, shackles, chain, and many other 'galavanised' fittings always seem to prove 50 - 75 percent 'cheaper' - yet give as good a service. And if you want 'shiney' - a lick of paint serves as well.

 

Stainless steel was invented in the 4o's I think. It was invented for making stainless steel sinks. Its not much good for anything else.

I laugh at these people with st/st anchor chains.

Oh its pretty good for hand rails and ---errrm.

 

Cheap

Why laugh Frosty. It makes their anchors sink doesn't it ?

 

That is not as bad as a polished stainless anchor. I prefer an anchor that is ugly. Looks more workmanlike.

As for women, I like mine good looking. You got to be willing to "go to work".

Actually it was invented in 1912 by Harry Brearley of Sheffield, England. It was first used in knives. 'Course, you wouldn't have known that, "snowball", as you were still using stone knives. The reason you've confused it with stainless steel sinks is was that you first encountered it as a flush toilet and, because it had running water, you thought it was a sink.

 

Can't understand all this about stainless steel sinks - of course it does! so does every other kind of steel! Its made out of stone isn't it! Ok you gotta get it kinda hot to work it but it's still stone!

So Atermis looks like you were right when you said 'Snowy' used stone knives! I'm surprised he knows what a knife is for?

 

Dont you just admire these people that google something then come back at you will ALL the information dates etc like they some F$%^ professor.

They are so cool when they start the post ---Actually---

Sheffield is in Yorkshire.

 

I wouldn't like a stainless steel boat if it sinks.

Stainless steel stinks,-- it is the most usless material.

For some reason it is glorified as a magnificent wonder steel that will not rust,(staved of oxygen it rust like normal steel) it cracks and does all kinds of silly things that you dont want on a boat. It cost around 30% more to make (thats all) simply because of its Chromium content.

Ok Artemis google up !!!!!! Lets hear it.

 

But it's pretty ! ! !
