Wow Ken!!! Your wood working in the wheelhouse is just beautiful. Especially loved your table decoration.... clever use of space. Would love to see it all when it's done. Keep up the good work, dear Brother.

Thanks Holly, I wish I could take more video as I am doing things, however I spend a lot of time going between the boat and shop as I am fitting parts, so to keep a camera going all the time when I'm by myself is more than I can keep in focus. That said, it is nice to share as I make milestones.

Keep up the good work! She's going to look amazing in the water one day! Can't wait to see it done. Love the idea of the labeled bottles for screws and small things for maintinance.

Thanks for the feedback, I especially appreciate it when it comes from fellow boatbuilders. We are shooting for a late spring early summer launch, so we are getting quite close.

​@@SVHummingbird2 So roughly 6 months you think? We were trying to aim for 8 months but there's been so much rain and logistic delays that end of the year is probably more reasonable at this point.

Beautiful, Ken. Thanks .

The pilot house looks amazing are you going to have any navigational electronic aids in your house like a depth finder a plotter and autopilot radar and things for your safety in bad weather all the best from john from rugby UK.

Yes, Depth sounder is here just not installed yet, and I am opting for a nav computer that just got ordered. Autopilot definitely, and radar as well, all as the budget allows...I am retired now and on a fixed income so I have had to get creative with getting the remaining parts..

Small compass!

[@SVHummingbird2]

Sadly not a lot of room for a larger one, and I already had this one...in person it feels right. But yes, I always appreciate the beauty of larger ones.
