    Hot Doughnuts!

    ..aint much of a cameraman!?! Why Pete, I've been very fond of a number of the photos you've posted deck hardware and nav aids to name a couple.

    We're pretty lucky to have the Fargo Air Museum close by. It's not a big facility by any means but the owner/curator has a heck of a collection. Including a super corsair, one of eight remaining and the only one flying in the world.

    Anyway, this is a sailboat site...

    We're going to use the curved sections in the galley. The shorter piece will form the inboard corner of the ice box. That's right, I said ice box. Well, ice box/navstation/com. center. The longer of the two will form the inboard corner of the galley proper. Those two rounded corners should save alot of shin skin.

    After seeing the radius I with I could find some teak veneer fast. I'd really shoot the wad on the main cabin. But as it is, it'll probably be painted white to open things up a bit. Maybe we'll put raised panels in the 'salon' to add a touch civility.

    Cool beans Tony - I cannot wait to see your finished boat! But I gotta say, after seeing that sign on your workshop wall, I'm sure glad nobody has any shots of you working!

    Tell me something......

    How come you Ariel guys don't like the icebox?

    Being able to reach a cold beverage while you're sitting in the cockpit.

    Genius

    Thanks guys.

    The sign was a b-day present from my friend that is a 'big-time' high end, anal retentive, finish carpenter. He likes to make fun of me because I always(used to) refer to Norm Abram's New Yankee Workshop. This guy has a wood shop I'd gladly live in. Counter space gallor, every tool you'd need, doubles of most of 'em, TV and stereo mounted in a dust-free cabinet, blah, blah, blah...But he still has to go outside to pee. So I chuckle at him, with my little hole in the dirt shop, because I'm one up on him. I've got running water-every time we get a good rain

    Frighteningly redundant! Current weather: Highs in the sixties, lows approaching thirties. Epoxy: Stiff!

    Pete,

    The easy access cockpit available ice box is no more on 113. Sorry, but I'd just end up falling overboard.

    I think this is just about the entire arsenal minus a few big clamps.
