it just works on so many different levels

30 more likes and I'll date Fuzzy.

I hope shes got her sea legs.

only if the date is on your raft

i get motion sickness when on boats and in cars

<bad pun about motion and sex>

so what is happening with the trebuchet raft + date with fuzzy? Any progress? Schematics? Construction injuries? Gnarly bruises are my favourite so make sure you handle plenty of heavy materials!


I have no life since I've returned to uni, so I need to live vicariously through internet people.. And I feel like sailing so make with the videos! :pirate:

Look at this guy… demanding dandy!

Spoiler:

Yeah trAse, make with the updates!

Can something happen already? I am really keen to see some raft building.

I'm really keen to see some trase/fuzzy redtube action.

and doesnt your avatar know it

zodiac's avatar scares me.

My sick and dying pet rabbit is on her deathbed and all she wanted was a raft update.

I feel she is going to be let down by trase. Again.

i live with a czech couple now. gimme some more words to randomly yell in their presence

Raft design to get you started..





Basics of home made rafting:
Home made raft building and the adventures that follow are an excellent way to experience life and the world. Within a few hours drive most people have a river to explore. Home made rafting requires only a small amount of carpentry skill to construct a fantastic floating home and navigation only requires standard boating knowledge and common sense. Trips can range from the weekend to a week to a month or more. Rafts can be constructed with wood for the frame and tractor trailer inner tubes, 55 gallon drums or foam for flotation. One distinct feature that makes constructing a raft especially appealing is the ability to add fixed living quarters with a bed, have the ability to cook while traveling, fish, read, play cards and legally camp on the raft anywhere along the river bank. Talk about freedom. Now that's the life!

Pffffft, silly woman.

Every man knows you dont follow the instructions.

However she has just upped the game. Trases raft must also include "fixed living quarters with a bed, have the ability to cook while traveling, fish, read, play cards and legally camp on the raft anywhere along the river bank"

fuck that noise, needs to have a lifeguards chair and a drumkit, not to mention an oversized spolier off some muzza chick's Hyundai Excel and enough equipment so that you can take a beer bong from any point on the raft.

He needs to be able to play said drumkit atop the lifeguards chair.

Kurva (phonetically it koo-rrr(roll that shit)-va)

Pichka

kokot

Yeben ti sto boho (my favourite... loosely translated it means "fuck a hundred gods")


Anyway, this whole raft thing is starting to smell like a reneged $200 bet.

I'll be super impressed if trAse can manage to get a decent system on that raft whilst blasting out "In The Navy" loud enough for those on land to hear

Words are not a raft. We need a raft.

I know, I've just been knee deep in pussy lately. I have been talking about this a lot with my room-mate though, we agree that those big ol' water cooler bottles would probably be the best... But they crafty companies take them away, how could one procure a few?

Your best bet and easiest to get would be 44 gallon drums. You know the type oil comes in. Get four of them, two for each side.

gumtree add

I mean i know you're probably not in WA but seriously, just googled used 44 gallon drums and they are not hard nor expensive to get.

4 of them will carry a fair bit of weight.

Hey Lord of the Rafts.
You have some challengers in Berlin and they're currently taking you to the cleaners:

Media Player

you can easily work out exactly how much buoyant force is produced from a 44gal drum.

the hardest part is strapping them down and keeping them connected to the raft.

If it was me i would just spot weld 2 of them end to end to get 2 long drums and then spot weld some sheet metal on top, buuuut he won't be able to do that.

just buy a bunch of cheap ratchet straps from super cheap auto and use those. What are you planning on doing with this raft?

Great idea, they're only $10 on gum tree.

I don't know you very well so i don't know if that's a joke or not.

If your plan is to basically put out to sea and just "see how far you can get" before you get picked up by the Australian Navy and splashed all over the news then we should try and build a fairly robust raft. At least one that isn't going to break apart as it rolls over it's first wave.

Just crossing the St.Kilda bay (~200m) will do for me.

You could do that on your own. Rafts are for endurance events. At least put it into Port Phillip Bay and disrupt shipping.

trAse should be doing this on his rAft



only, he'll supply his own equipment (his raft)

Pretty sure Port Phillip Bay was the location!

Dont make me get all Deliverance on you.

^ Correct

So its a new financial year, trAse, any raft building plans yet?

I believe a deadline is in order. People work better with deadlines.

We just need an admin to threaten removal of all likes given after the date of the initial post unless Trase crosses, or at least causes a scene in Port Phillip bay on board a raft before said date.

Agreed, I'm with ya Coezi.

Will provide bonus likes to trAse if his antics make it onto the news.
