What a great looking boat. I cant wait till i have the funds and time to invest in building one for myself. like was mentioned earlier i am sure it would be a great boat with a 30 to 45 lbs trolling motor hanging on the back. How did the final weight turn out? How much trouble will it be to...

The picture didnt do the birds eye maple justice. Once I finished them with boiled linseed oil and then super glue and final polish, it had a 3d look to it with the birds eye.

We build all the cabinets to complete the interiors for large business luxury jets, like the boeing business jet, embreier regional jet, gulfsteam g5 or similiar sizes.

Here are a few of the pens I turned this year for christmas gifts for one of the guys I work with. These are from scraps left over from the hardwood we used on the different planes this year. From left to right --- mahogany, birds eye maple, walnut, soft maple with mahogany strip, and 2 from...

Glad to hear you finally got a chance to put it in the water. I had many of the same feelings the first time I put mine in the water. Now I cant wait until the next time I get a chance to play in the water. Oh if only to be independantly wealthy and not to have to worry about things like...

Finally finished up my son's boat. With him being a Pittsburg Steelers fan, he chose the black and yellow as his colors for his boat. Last weekend had to rub it into him since the Kansas City Chiefs beat his steelers. Now to finish up his paddle and get a seat for him and he is ready to...

After getting off work saturday afternoon, I put the boat in the water to see if I could catch a few trout or reds. I couldn't get either one to bite but the next best thing was very hungry and cooperative. Whiting. I was able to put 12 in the boat before I ran out of sunlight. Wish I could...

Yep the trout, reds, flounder and sheephead are getting to start their fall run around here. This is why I decided to build my boat to get access to more fishing that what I could reach from the bank around here. Plus the shrimp are getting to move up in the creeks as well. Saturday when I...

I usually can't catch enough for my son and myself when I go. He can tear through a bunch of crabs when we catch some. My better half was the receipiant of the the speck for dinner that night. Now I just need to catch a few more of those so I can have some as well!!!!

Yesterday after work, the weather was cooperating around here except for some wind, I decided to go pick up the crab trap I had set earlier in the week. Got on the water about 3:30pm at dead low tide. Paddled to where I had dropped my trap and low and behold the bounty of the sea, or at least...

Right now I just have a small pin hole for the spaces to breath. If need be, I can always come back and install some hatches. Right now I am using mine for mainly fishing here around Savannah. If I start doing more paddling or overnight trips I would definately think about how I could use...

Here are the pics of the updates on boat #2. Pic #1 is the inner rails being glued and clamped in. Used resin and wood dust. Pic #2 is of the bracing I used to support the decks and the bulkhead pasted in place. Pic #3 is of deck #2 glued in place. I trimmed the edges and will sand the...

Now we are starting to make some progress. Last week I was able to get the rest of the inner rails glued in and on thursday night was able to get both bulkhead glued in place. Also got both of the deck panels glassed together. Tonight I was able to glue one deck in place and will get the...

Finally received my order of resin so I can continue on my 2nd boat for my son. Main thing I was able to accomplish the past couple of nights was to put a final coat on the outside and to start installing inner rails. One side is complete and just have 2 shorter ones to install on the other...

When I started the building process, I had some outdated resin and hardner I had picked up at work. I probably had that in the garage for a couple of years after I had got it from work when it was going to be thrown away because of its use by date. It seems to have worked as well as a new can...
