When I looked more closely at the cost and long-term burden of owning a wooden clothesline, not to mention the instability of such a lifestyle, we changed our minds, but the romance of sailing ships has not left my heart.
I have deep respect for men that can build those beautiful and functional sculptures. Lou's may not go that far, but they look like a lot of fun. He gets his hands on some beautiful wood.
