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........
