Oh, I could never work there. Too clean, too many clamps.

This is amazing to watch happen. Looks like you work hard and have a good time doing it.

Thanks for sharing, I'm enjoying.

Peace,

Nice work-  it's great to see a shop producing smaller, well crafted boats!

[Guest Chris Beebe]

Thanks. We always appreciate admiration.

[Action Tiger]

I don't know man... I got three boats a building in the shop now, too, and I spent all day yesterday cleaning...

I guess now I gotta get some more clamps.

It is seriously wonderful to see somebody making something, I hope you can make a living, too, pard.

I had to start calling my stuff art to get enough margin to live.

If you call these boats "art" you can charge whatever you want. Call them kinetic sculpture.

I will continue to follow and enjoy.

[Guest Chris Beebe]

You know, I Got clamps.I Think that is funny, Thanks

[Action Tiger]

Glad you know I'm funnin. Your shop is amazing.

I once worked in a production shop with all the stuff, even a gantry crane. We had wood floors, though. And, tons of clamps.

Now, I work like a caveman. I do got about a hundred clamps, though!

Peace,

Robert

Finely planking the sides. The 6mm bottom planking was a bit of a pain, Had to drill some weep holes in the ply in the bow section to allow the epoxy to expand. I put two pics off a 20 we are doing . thanks.
