Thanks footer- I’ve been relegated to doing stuff around the house too. Our front entryway needed to be sanded and some old slightly rotten wood replaced. It’s not as much fun as bending plywood and fairing frames.... In the hope of improving my welding I’ve also welded every single piece of metal I...

My boat is stuck in the shop - the engine install was supposed to be finished a couple of weeks ago - but the shop closed down because of COVID-19.... so I am stuck at home without any boat to work on! So thank you to everyone who's working and posting...it is keeping me entertained.

looking really fantastic...I have to say the dory is such a beautiful design.

Cool video! - congratulations - she's a great looking boat.

fantastic - looks great! - welding...I agree - thin stainless is such a challenge to get perfect. Glad the bending worked for you too - I ended up making a home-made brake out of some 2x4s to do mine. Congratulations - your boat is looking fantastic and close to being ready to splash

that's a great series - I've been watching Leo for a couple of years or so now, pretty amazing what can be done. The guys at Acorn to Arabella are fun to watch too - and if you're locked indoors, you can either work on the boat or binge watch these free shows on youtube!

This really allowed me to make sure the bow of the boat was not bouncing around at all while being trailered. T...

+1 on Bill’s suggestion

It really is an unbelievable build..., just incredible. Can’t wait to see a picture of her on the water.

Great job! I see a few cordless porter cable tools on your bench. I have really liked mine. So far they’ve been indestructible.

Thanks guys. It was weird yesterday - I dropped her off and the guys from the boat store came out and said nice things - but all I could see were the bits where I screwed up or where I was too lazy/rushed. Next one will be better.

Chug - you’ve got to go for the biggest and beefiest eye for the front of chug-a-lug. That would look awesome.

Out of the garage for the first time in over a year. It took me ten minutes to get it out smoothly, there's less than an inch of clearance between the wheels and the garage on either side.... She's off to get the engine installed. I went with the 60hp Merc CT. So fingers crossed we'll be all good. A...

Carl - this wasn't the one I got but perhaps this is useful

Just looked. These were an Amazon purchase - novelbee 5/8 u bolt - but they are no longer sold in that length - they only have 3.5" thread left as far as I can tell.
