Here’s a cool customer project I’m working to pay the Checkmate bills.

’1967 17’ Whaler.
Complete restoration.
Told customer I was geeked to flip it over and start on his new console.
Carpentry vs sanding epoxy primer.

You know you’ve got a keeper when......., she gets this for her birthday (for new boat) and is excited 😎

Had a great Sunday in the shop today.

Blues on the stereo, no pressure, work at your pace, while it’s fun day.

Work an hr, take a break and read OSO threads then back to work.
Priceless and my favorite part of having my shop in the back yard.

Couldnt be happier w/today’s engineering project and don’t think I’ll be able to break.

Top, cross bar is two layers of 3/4”, 7 ply, Okume marine plywood.
Knees are single pc of 3/4”.

Bilge is prepped for the new 95 gl tank and it is do next wk.

Hope to start the bracket soon after.

Love it when a plan comes together.

Where are you located and how much boat can you fit in there?

Thank you sir.

Cool thing is all the wood is scrap from the dinghy build.

Hogieroll, 12’ x 12’ door, 56’ Long building.
