Not yet. Too much spring lawn/garden work. Spring is short around here, so it takes a lot of time...

Gonna plank the deck in teak. Hate the original builder's pencil lines, even though they were excellently done.
That will be a huge improvement  8)

"Dies?" How ironically appropriate!
That's what happens when you don't pay attention and doublecheck your post, you make spelling/typing mistakes!

That's a good looking model - will be interested to see if it dies float when you get finished (I'd bet that it will after all your work)! ;)

A beautiful boat.

Good luck with the resuscitation of the patient. 🤠

It fell off a shelf, then was given to me.

I've re-installed and geared down the electric motor, fixed the paddlewheels, and made the false walking beam move.

Lots to go. I peck away at it.
