No excuses now - we have a boat, and the tools to build another!
Our inveterate collector/captain has procured a number of vintage tools two of which are illustrated here. The shipsaw is designed to keep large timbers safely and securely horizontal while angle cuts of varying degree are made by tilting the blade, not the wood. Are there futtocks in our future?
The other bandsaw is older yet, the column of massive wooden construction, creased, but not diminished, by age.
The sailplan has been delivered by the Kingston Sail Loft, and the sails are approaching the scissors. This winter will tell the tale...stay tuned.
