Re: Let's see your homemade crafts!

HO, very nice, clean, fit and finish! The image with the clamps reminded me of the old saw - " If you didn't use all of your clamps, you didn't use enough. If you did use them all you don't have enough."

Ken O, nice looking boats! We don't have many ponds or lakes in this area where we can use IC engines, so most of our builds are electric. There are a couple of brushless screamers though.

I live at the other end of the spectrum with a few slow boats that don't move faster than I can think.

Re: Let's see your homemade crafts!

Again, totally impressed by the creative ability of folks here. Built this cradle for our youngest son born in '86. Used by him, his two cousins and our two older grand daughters. Now being used by our son who was the First user for his First born, our youngest grand daughter. Made wooden name plaques for each little one to pass thru it and fastened each to the end of the cradle. Took it to Alabama to he and his wife this past July. Pretty sure myself and Mrs. Ironhorse are no longer going to use it, LOL.

Thanks for the kind words. I really like the tug you built it reminds me a lot of a tug we used to have at work. It was working till about 1988 then got converted to the companies yacht for entertaining customers.
