Load them on to your desktop first where you can find them. Then after you write what you want in the text box there are some choices below it. Pick the first one labeled: "Select image file to attach". Then go to "choose file" find your desktop and the picture you want.
Good luck Steve |

What you have there is a cored hull. Between the fiberglass floor and fiberglass hull would be a layer of foam or balsa. Can be replaced with core matt (a fiberglass product), closed cell foam core material, or balsa core mat. Try a google search on any of these products.

That's going to be a super project and lovely fiberglassic.
That skil saw is a "classic" in its own right. I remember my dad having that same saw. |

Thanks for the heads up on the floor...It was 60 year old balsa soaking wet and had a ...unique smell to it. Not too surprising though, poor old girl sat for 20 yrs outside and had racoons living in it.
