I’ve gone and done it again….
for what? The third year in a row? Poor ole’ Mummy got scroodled out of her summer holiday! ;-( I’s sorry dear. But on the brighter side we did get in a helluva road trip! 2300 kms (1430 miles) and 11 States in 4 1/2 days.The idea popped into my noodle…
More of the same
fender kickers looking for a free boat ride. *sigh* Oh well, can’t dwell on that. We’ll likely use the ole’ boat this summer.Yesterday we took a trip to Watertown NY to check out Harbor Freight Tools. I’ve heard a lot of guys rave about this place, whi…

Just a brief update
More strongback forms being assembled. E & F on the table gluing up and G & H standing up behind all ready to go. Still a lot to do yet.
I just couldn’t leave it alone
for any length of time. There’s a few things that were bugging me and I just have to figure them out or it’ll drive me nuts. The first is the transom mold. As far as I can tell this is the first TW28 assembled from a first generation CnC kit. There’s a…
