| What are some ideas for oars? Oarlocks particuiarly? Surely few get to the Isle without some rowing. A practical ship's oar goes to 10 or 12 long. Lego paddles are too short. I'm trying 1x10 plates, and lances with some kind of extender. Here are (...) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle)

| (...) Useful things, those. (...) If you have the space, two 1x2 45-deg slopes work well, and make a 1x2 v-shaped opening. Alternately, a 1x4x1 arch also makes a decent oarlock.
