1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

My little piece of peace

    I do not think I will need such, but recent reading, (Casey Research and other stuff), from USA indicates that many there may find such useful, sometime in the not too distant future... :p

    Peanut butter and bananas are better bait than cheese. Don't tell the rat.

    Good morning --oh what a lovely day tr la la,--not a good day for the rat though!!!!

    The ******* ran around the lounge like he owned the place . I was amazed at his agility and my night vision.The missus altered the trap and cought it a few minutes later,--she says.

    Shear luck I say but it will be one of those days (you know what I mean) Oh I can catch a rat but you cant. ille prob go out later.

    Any way ---Bang and I came out and he was sitting there eating fish curry toast,--not my choice of bate it was her indoors choice at approx 3 am.

    3.3AM Ithink it was that wth towel round waist I tied a rope to the cage and threw it over the side.

    RIP RAT

    Im not sure I understand the question, yes the rat was living when it walked into the trap yes Hoyt. Then when he sits down and starts to eat the food the food is attached to a wire that pulls a string that starts a motor that winds up a weight that falls on a spring that release a ball that goes up a ramp that,---something like that.

    The rat amazed at the engineering technology is not aware that the door is slowly closing.

    Show a picture of what --the rat?--its a round thing with a leg on each corner sticking down when its alive.
    When its dead its a round thing with a leg on each corner sticking up.

    Any way Davy Jones has got im.

    You know I dont normally go round taking picturers of rat traps actually.

    Any way my USB -B to USB -A is missing.

    Its a square box with a flap door spring loaded kept open by a baited clip just set to unload the door on the slightest movement, the skill is setting that clip.

    The rest the rat does himself!!

    To return to topic, some repeat? images of the boat.... you will note the tilt in 4592, - that is due to the incoming tide and time-lapse photography... - If you accept that, then bully for you...

    I feel the desperate need to go for an extended cruise...
