Well, since I've not ever thrown up any photos of projects, I figure it's time to rectify this.
First off is my last project at the NC Maritime Museum (which is actually where most of these were done).
It's a US Lifesaving Service surf boat and wagon. I did very little work with the actual boat, but I did redraft the plans and I drafted the plans for the wagon. John Coffman, John Vang and I built the wagon, with John C. and I doing the blacksmithing.
I never did get around to getting photos of the finished thing; I wound up moving.
Other projects included a WWII LCVP (Higgins Boat)
This how she looked when she came in:
And when she left:
The boat is solid Honduran mahogany. If you look at the planks on the transom:
If you look closely, you can see that a couple of the planks are three feet wide!
Other projects include several models:
SMS Adler, an Austrian torpedo boat in 1:100 scale. The base board is my favourite wood, teak. I used to get it for free from Jarrett Bay. This photo was taken where I went to college, the best view of any school in the state.
I also do a lot of small work. Austrian WWI-era cruiser destroyer in 1:1200 scale for wargaming.
So, now I've truly introduced m'self.
John.
