And a few more mostly Beaton’s pics

I’ve started using an application called Flicstaker to upload photos to Flickr. It’s pretty easy to use which should result in more pics here.

The dinghy is a Columbia Model designed by Nathaniel G. Herreshoff. I had the pleasure of helping Tom build her in the early 80’s. The ugly duckling is Speedwell, ready for some late season Duckboating. Now that the major work at home’s been completed, she’ll be trucked home. She could be sailed home absent the Point Pleasant Canal. Hmmm. Maybe next year. We’ll see how we do with Stockton Lake and the fixed bridges. Glimmerglass here I come.

Taken by Kent Mountford last week. Again sailing as slow as I can.

That’s one way of cleaning the shop. A fresh coat of floor paint is applied in stages. Perhaps it’s being done in honor of Sjogin’s pending visit?

…

More change. After 30 or so years, the outfeed table for the band saw has been replaced.

…

And a pivoting support for the table. The pivot is on the same axis as the band saw. Tres clever.

…

Hard to believe that it’s been thirty years or so since I helped Tom build this gem. Light use and careful storage make for a long life.
