Beacon Boats remnants

[Starcoaster]

Oh pooh! Any more rope that would be suitable for mooring lines?

I'm also after a gangplank/boarding plank kinda thing of some sort, as well as my rather optimistic list from before!

Remaining rope is the reel of white and the box full posted earlier, plus some other bits added since the photo. Might be able to find you a something to paint up for a plank?

 

Bazza....drool away....you may be needing that giant loo roll!

No no...plainly Bizzard's need is greater than mine

[bizzard]

The two red coloured toilet rolls in the cardboard box are much more efficient for the job anyway, so efficient I've had to sit on an inflated truck inner tube ever since I tried that brand, as if I had piles.

[Starcoaster]

Awesome. I am hoping to get Carl to make van space for me so we can come up and go through everything like a a plague of locusts look around.

Any wooden porthole liners? If so, what size ?

[davidc]

Also have you and ofcuts of min 20 mil oak ply and oak trims please

[Ally]

Couple of porthole liners, oak, but 'seconds' I'll measure them next week. Amounts of 3,6,9 and 12mm off cuts oak faced, some maple, full board of maple 12mm ply...all oiled and back varnished. Not sorted the timber and ply yet though, and still need a bit to finish mine (I'm getting first dibs on it!!) But there will be some left, plenty probably.

Please bare in mind I'm in need of a piece (at least one face in oak veneer ) 1.9 metes by 200 mils x 12 mils (min) and enough oak trim to go around it.

1m of flue pipe

More images of the little cruiser project and bits associated with it:

 

 

 

 

 

I am unsure if these bits go with the cruiser or they are separate bits on offer - Ally will be along later to advise.

 

 

I was tempted not to post this pic - I soooo want them (but don't need them)

Xl fleece has gone, also the wooden plane and 1 coil of welding wire, and, I think the ratchet straps are about to go.

Large fleece also gone now, 2 x medium left!

This topic really saddens me. We have such happy memories of Beacon Boats, visiting the workshop and planning our build. To see such an honest company close is such a shame. But that there were more people like Ally and Neil involved in the industry.

 

All the very best to Neil and to you Ally. I sincerely hope that your skills are not lost to the industry. It seems ironic that whilst an honest company that went so far to make their customers dreams come true, ends, another not too far from you survives, despite shafting all.

 

All the very best.

How large is the bathroom basin? And be interests In bathroom basin style Taps

And some led lights,

Will the 12 inch glass fit a a s type porthole?

[carlt]

As mentioned before I am interested in buying any wood offcuts however small and the hardwood trim and pine planking is of interest too (piccies?)

 

Also any photos of clamps and cramps?

[cheshire~rose]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Ally]

basin is roughly 20" x 17", random taps and LED bulbs only. Sorry, unsure about the glass fitting, but you would be welcome to it to see.

clamps not yet photo'd (or sorted) but range from the plastic scissor action ones to 4 sizes of metal F clamps, I'm afraid we are keeping the window clamps!

More pics gone up today, hopefully Cheshire Rose will be able to post them when she gets a minute!

[cheshire~rose]

 

 

size M

[Ally]

ah..she did! Can she get the painted panel one up of the back of the leather??? The leather is well worn and 'festival'ed' and you kinda need to be a Levellers fan!

Doh, We are cross posting here!!

[cheshire~rose]

 

[cheshire~rose]

Dave and I are hoping to get down there the weekend of 26th/27th April.

 

While we cannot pick up any huge items (we will be in a 2 door focus! if there are little bits and pieces that people want to give homes to that they would like me to collect for them while I am there I am happy to do so. They can either be collected from me in Chesterfield or I may be able to arrange for collection from Calf Heath on the S&W. or if you are in no rush I can bring them to the next banter I attend or a historic boat festival or something like that.

[frangar]

Do you have details of the portable appliance checker/tester that's on the list?

 

Many thanks
