I’m like that. Day late and a couple screw loose from a full dozen (if your going to mix metaphors mix them like a batch of epoxy!).
Ha!

A little more progress. During the work week it is a bit more challenging to break away. The hooks for the net continue.

Casey your boat work is beautiful as always. Have you even had a chance to go fly fishing between it the family and your jobs. :D I know how much you like to be out on the water. Just keep reading the book I sent you on catching trout up here in the mountains as a dream trip, someday. :) :)

Thanks Tom! The time on the water has been less for sure. I did get to catch some nice pike last Summer, but that was about it. Hopefully this year I can spend more time on the water. Would love to fish up there sometime. It looks great up that direction!

Here are the net holder hooks. I am running out of things to make out of wood for this boat, and and to transition over to epoxy and fiberglass. I kind of like the epoxy and fiberglass work, but not near as much as I like the wood working part. I keep looking around the garage for more things to build. I guess it is time to start mixing. I also worked on the oversized mounting holes for the battery charger. I will fill them with thickened epoxy.

The kids are loving working the Dremel tool to make a slingshot out of a branch. The last pic is of a little boat Elise has been making out of scrap. This is the second one. I looked up and she had the first one ready to glue up, clamped down to a board and everything.

Everything is looking good! Love the kids having an interest in the wood working.

Seems you need more tools for them! :wink:
