I know I’m running late this week on a post, but I have an excuse! It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve got a lot done, but nothing is finished…. I’ve been working on my boat and it is 95% finished. All that really needs to be done are all of the finishing touches. You know, the little things that make it look good.
I’ve also bought some canvas material and have been designing a carrying case for the boat. Since I have the canvas I have been toying with the idea of making a Bimini top for the boat.
I’ve pretty much completed the gun I’m building (I don’t know if I’ve ever posted photos of that here but I have on my Facebook page a couple of times)
I have also done just a little work on the beginning of a steam engine. I’ve cast the piston, but I didn’t add enough oil so it won’t come out of the mold so I will I have to recast it. The material I’m casting with is epoxy. It’s worked well for me in the past when I built a sterling engine.
And lastly, whenever I have had free time I have been writing a detailed step-by-step instructable on how to build the boat. That way you can build one for yourself!
So here are a couple of photos from various projects…(one of the photos is a scale model of the boat)
