Well, its about time that I start another build. As if I am not busy enough bringing new life in back to the Tolly I have decided to start my next move in the boat building business. My primary focus is going to be PNW proven platforms. I will be building these one boat at a time - potentially two as things get moving. Once you lay up epoxy, paint, varnish your done for the day so having two at one time would be a better use of time in the shop.
Here is a link to my next build - Bill Childs
I spent sometime with Bill this last week and a Bartender - it's a sexy, timeless boat that I am excited to be building!
I will be constructing it in a work boat fashion - ie this is not going to be a museum piece. I will probably paint all surfaces with the exception of the dash - saving that to be varnished as a showcase.
In addition I will be creating a website for the business with slides of the project as it progresses. Wood is going to be ordered in short order. I will be putting in about five to six hours per day so my hope is that we will have something to look at nearly daily. Unfortunately the wood will be about a two weeks out as I am ordering from out of town. That's ok as it will give me the time I need to set up shop and prepare for making some saw dust.
As always comments, suggestions, and what not are always welcomed.
