The bed looks great. That's cool you held onto it for so long and I asume a grandchild will be using it. Bet you didn't think that would happen when you first built it.
The list you have shouldn't take to long but I'll bet before the boat list is done the Honey Do list will fill up again.
Looking forward to see more work on the BF.
Have a great week.

You have become a Jedi-Master of restoring old things into things of Beauty that will be cherished for many moons by many...

Your talent and attention to detail are rivaled by none that I am aware of!

By the looks of the BF's finishing list, you should easily have that knocked out quicker than what it took to splash...

Have a Marvelous Week!

Great job on the bed! Anything I try to make in wood ends up looking like Homer Simpson's spice rack.

The bed looks great, although I'm a little surprised they have him sleep in the garage. Oh well, I guess to each his own.

And since I seem to be the only one who didn't weigh in.....happy belated Birthday.

Hi WOG I have a question. Why do the stringers need csm, 1708, csm, 1708, and the transom is csm, 1708, 1708? I'm sure there is a method to the madness and I was just curious!

Thanks!
