Lou announces that he plans to sell the completed boat on EBAY. It
will be interesting to see what it goes for.

I wish I had a monster band saw like that one he uses but it's not
going to happen.

Wow. The guy has some great tips. I would have clamped a piece of scrap to the back of the transom
to keep it from splitting out when the bit came through. I was surprised that he didn't do that.

I agree but since he was going to counterbore the hole, some small
splitting wouldn't have mattered. This boat is going to end up being
the Cadillac of all work skiffs.

If I ever used that bandsaw I'd have 7 or 8 fingers left when the boat
was done.

It looks like he is overdue for a new drill or at least a sharpening.
That dude was smoking a might.

I had my hand on a nice one at an auction in Ft Myers that ended up
going for a little over $100 but I really did not have a place for it
so I did not bid. I could have had a great deal from Henc on his 1
meter bed metal lathe but I had the same problem.
I would have made room for the CnC but he wasn't selling it.

More like the Morgan of work skiffs. Too much wood for me. ;-)

Work boats are aluminum.

I knew he was counterboring the inside hole, but thought he'd be using nuts and fender washers on
the back of the transom. That's what I'd do anyway.

Too heavy, too fancy, low transom, but a pretty skiff.

I guess you don't have a table saw ;-)
