How Many Cyclists does it Take..
Wendy Ann II – Bulkhead Timelapse from Harry Foster on Vimeo.To line a bulkhead?The answer is two, and a bit, as regretfully I find too little opportunity to get on the old steel horse these days, I guess doing it for a living was a sort of aversion th…
The other Other Lady’s Hull.
is pretty much complete now. I’m particularly proud of the bow and transom plating, which all went exactly to plan. It’s still a stressful exciting hardworking fun fast paced large scale build and therefore I’m currently going through another pha…

Proto-furniture.
This was just going to be a picture post, but then I seem to have got carried away. Although the items portrayed in the photos don’t look much they were more or less the sum total of efforts of last weekend, and Sam and Jamie were very helpful in hel…

This one’s for my dad really, as you may remember he donated us a piece of family history in the shape of a tortoise wood stove some time ago… I just got back from another push-it weekend at the boat, during which we had a successful test firing of…
