Reporting on my winter projects.

work, I did the set up and installations.

The finish is twenty coats of color with twenty coats of
clear followed with sanding,1200g and buffing. It is
done in lacquer.

The engine is .46ci, about 1hp at 15,000rpm.

This one the wife did most of the work on the hull.
She got a bit carried away with the lightening part.
She loves to scroll saw. It is one of the few shop tools
I let her use. She gets huffy when she sees me using
it.

24"X12.25", 4.48lbs, .36ci, 1.2hp, 17,000rpm.



















As soon as we get some decent weather there will be
a vid.

Both boats are built from 4mm luan and covered with one layer of
1/4oz glass and polyester resin. The inside is sealed with polyester
resin as well.

In my spare time, I do have to work one day a month. Sometimes
it it is three or four hours.

I restored a couple vintage bicycles.

1980 Ironman, aluminum frame.



And a 1975 Spalding.
