Looks great Rusty.  The case will finish it off to perfection.

Your usual beautiful work, Rusty. It's going to look great in the case. Is it going to be Echo or the bomb vessel section that gets your attention next?

Hi all,

 

First off I must apologize for being tardy in responding to your kind words and comments.

It is the bane of this time of year for me when my part time retirement job becomes a fulltime

job and unfortunately starting Monday and for the next 20 days becomes an overtime job.

Oh well it's the price I pay for a lot of time off in the winter.

 

Thank you Greg.

 

Thanks Mark. I was pleasantly surprised on how the case came out.

 

Thank you Grant.

 

Thanks Bob, Hard to say right now but knowing me both will get attention just not sure which

will be primary and which secondary. It could change from week to week too.

 

Thanks Kevin, the end is a happy/sad time for me too.

 

Ok here we go.

 

To finish off the base of the case I purchased some molding which enclosed the top but

still allows for removal. It was all stained and sealed with polyurethane. I then attached the

cross section to the base by drilling through the base and into the keel and then screwed the

keel to the base.

And here she is in the completed case.

Again I would like to thank Russ for all of his hard work in the beginning making this

project possible and for his help and encouragement throughout not just mine but

everyone’s builds. And then to all of you who continually helped, encouraged and

proofed my efforts I give a heart felt thank you too.

Rusty,

 

Looking through you finish pictures this morning I noticed that you have staggered the limber board access holes from port to starboard. Don’t know if you found documentation to support that but I do know that I like it very much.

 

Again, a beautiful presentation and subject.

Hi Daniel,

 

Sorry for the delay getting back to you but that four letter word "work" has kept

me away but I'm back now. I'm glad you enjoyed following along. It was a lot of fun.

 

The bomb vessel and Echo cross sections need some serious attention next.
