Looks like another rowboat to me.. Have oar will paddle.

SO, let me ask a few questions sir Capitan.. As I also share a hobby for wood working using all the expected equipment such as planer/joiners, Large width dual sided drum sanders, Lathe, verious saws and joining systems, I guess I am wondering as a former contractor and wood guy on house construction, do you have all those typical woodshop pieces of equipment? I mean, like I have about 25 large clamps that can cover up to ten feet of span, as well as corner clamps and intermediate length clamps.

I inherited most of this stuff from my grandfather who was a Fine Finish Carpenter and his entire 1600 square foot basement was one very large woodwork shop..

I see you working on these boats all the time and you do good work. I was just curious as to how much equipment do you have to work with?

Looks like a great project piece that will bring you some enjoyment and satisfaction as well as some additional income when you sell it... Wink Thumbs Up Smile
