Another project in the works

This classic St. Lawrence skiff is in need of a new keel.

It has taken a lot of time and patients to remove all the rot.

Now that all the rot is gone a board is selected to build the new keel.

Spieling the Ellen

It is a rainy day outside but a good day to spiel a plank for the Ellen.

Only one slacker at the Boatworks

OK!

So the boat shop photog and blog-meister has been a little behind since the summer. I apologize.As you know the Lyman Project was completed and the owners came to take her home. They were very pleased with the work.

Glad they are happy. There is nothing better than a satisfied customer.

Since July, there have been a lot of "irons in the fire", so to speak.Grand children's birthdays and travel to both Maine and North Carolina. Pete is once again on the road to Adams Center to continue restoration work on an Egg Harbor. A very big job that will continue through the winter.

Pete is working on "the Ellen" at home and is busy spieling and planking and beveling and fairing.....he may not be fast but he is meticulous. I promise to post some new pictures very soon.He is still looking for a buyer so if you are interested please don't hesitate to get in touch.

In the meantime, we are looking forward to a Thanksgiving visit with our young adult children. We have a lot to be thankful for including our good health, family and friends. The good old USA is a great place to live.
