A very good friend of mine has a small shipyard and one of his employees has been sick a long time. He has a hard time finding someone to fill in for him so he asked me if I could help him with a boat. In the first picture you can see the wooden frames I made for the wheel house. The second picture is of the dashboard. The third picture is a cabinet in the wheel house.

I didn't finish it myself. My friend used a semi gloss marine grade varnish.

Wow, that is beautiful work. I expect you've got a business going now of building for boats.

I've recently had to hire two people to work for me full time because I can no longer handle it alone.

This isn't what I normally do. I make custom furniture but I have worked on boats a couple of times in the past. When the opportunity arises like it did now I won't say no.

And thank you everyone for the nice compliments :)

Wow!

I might sound a bit weird saying this, but your husband is lucky to be married to such a craftswoman!
Also, you seriously owe it to yourself to get a nice gennou.

My husband has 2 left hands so he knows how lucky he his :D


Also, you seriously owe it to yourself to get a nice gennou.
Like I said in a previous post, I've used my dad's gennous but I just prefer a wooden mallet. That won't change.

Yeah, just "some stuff" you made.;) My definition of "some stuff" is a birdhouse and a box made from scrap.

Gorgeous work. Congratulations.
