Anyone have a Bendarc and/or Crownarc they want to unload?  I'm looking to buy a pole bending setup.

Anyone know what's required to make telescoping bimini poles?  I don't do frame work, but might just have to start (or hire a canvas shop to do it for me  :-[ )  I'm wondering if 1" ss tube will permit 7/8" ss tube to telescope inside.  I'm thinking not.  But I'd also guess 1.25" tube would be too big.  I'll also need to drill holes for push-buttons I guess.  I doubt the plastic adjustable fitting like you'd find on tent poles would be strong enough to hold the top up.  Anyone one to make me a set? 

I've seen the Taylor poles on the internet and they get terrible reviews for being flimsy.

Anyone ever done this themselves?  I was looking at the manual earlier and it appears to be fairly simple.  Any hidden gotchas?  It seems to me, though I don't know how, that the lift on my machine has gotten lower over time.  It's getting really annoying to sew over a thick seam and have the fabric get stuck under the foot.

I'm looking for a source for double-ended plastic fasteners for a 1/4" hole.  Any suggestions?

Today had to bid on a full mooring cover for a 310 Sundancer - to the waterline, including arch.   Probably 90 yards of Sunbrella.   Sigh.   I need a vacation.  Gave them an outrageous price - hopefully they'll give it to someone else. Anyone ever done one?

Also have to do a full enclosure on a 23' Proline walkaround including hardware installation.  Now, cause I was booked, got a competitive quote.  Theirs was more than 2 times mine.  What would you ballpark this?  It's a hardtop, about 15' around total.  1 smiley in the front.
