Dave R1 Posted March 14, 2004 Posted March 14, 2004 These were taken yesterday with my new digital camera. The cradle is nearly finished. Just a few more things, some sanding and then time for paint and varnish. Today I started on the stand--hard maple and lyptus.

adla Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 It really looks great! You have done such an outstanding job. Very very impressive....! Adla Quote
Barry Pyeatt Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 It is really a very nicely done project. This one is destin to be a family heirloom. If you don't let the dog use it for a toy. :cry: Quote
Bill Paxton Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Outstanding, Dave! You'll have to bring it to the messabout this summer. Will Kari let you hang it from davits off the stern of "Julie K"? BTW, when's the baby due? Quote
capt jake Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 SWEEEET! Really NICE!! Envious nice!!! Very nice!! Dang, wish I had made that versus the one I did! Quote
Dave R1 Posted March 16, 2004 Author Posted March 16, 2004 Thank you all for the nice words. Bill, I mentioned the davits on Julie K to Kari and she thought maybe that would be a good place for baby to sleep when we're sailing. I think we'd need to rig a sunshade. Actually, it got me thinking that it would look kind of cool to have a properly scaled tender hanging from stern davits just for show. Quote

Y'know, after looking at the direction that Nokoni evolving, I bet something like that is in the works - couple of longboats maybe . . . now just need some 2'6" sailors Quote
Bill Posted March 16, 2004 Posted March 16, 2004 she thought maybe that would be a good place for baby to sleep when we're sailing. You guys are gonna start something..The latest phase of "Baby on Board"!! for the Yachties... Bill Quote
Dave Fleming Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 ACES Dave, simply ACES! Soooo, when ya gonna be ready to start on that 28 foot Monomoy Surfboat? Only a ***few*** more rivets than the cradle. :wink: Quote
Mr. Scott Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 The cradle is absolutly beautiful Dave! I am envious of your skill. Quote
