Nice boat Nemo. Looking good.
I have one question froma woodworker's perspective.

I have a hand planer or three. Instead of spending so much time using a belt sander and ceating lots of dust, had you considered planing those those pieces? I am not picking apart yor excellent work, only asking as I was just thinking what might have made that a bit easier for you.

I love Teak wood. Its very pretty as is really good colorful cherry... I knoww e don't use cherry on boats...

Its all gorgeous when its cleaned and sanded and then clear coated.. Thanks for sharing..

This is the Teak handle for the swing keel on a lil 8'er I have in one shop.. I had to make the handle that lowers and retracts the keel. They dont make this chit anymore so I did.I Like making stuff.. And theres a bolt that goes through this handle and through a hole in the keel shaft. Had to keep that in mind while making iy.

And these are the seats for the old Ranger Minto I am redoing. The inside of the boat got painted today..

First coat of urethane. I will do 5 coats. Will look like glass when I am done...... I used most of the original teak that was in the old seats. Man it was warped and cupped. A LOT of belt sanding to get them flush........
