Congratulations on the milestone Looks great!

The support braces you used for the flip look very well done. Did they work as well as it looks like they would?

Thanks for all of your complements!

Yes, the C clamps I made for the flip worked excellent just as planned.

Off to work I go!

Keith

Thanks for the pictures of your turn. That is exactly what i think I'll need to do. I'll have to take the boat outside then bring it back in. But, the jig will reduce the number of friends that I loose.

With the flip jig 3 men and a boy can safely flip the boat. All my friends showed so we had more than enough manpower.
