    I had another guy ask me to ship to New York. I am in California. The raw lumber I have for the project weight over 40 pounds. The base and lofting boards maybe another 20. Don't think it would be worth it. I was hoping for someone to come pick it up.

    It is with a heavy heart that I am giving up on my model of the Tally Ho. I am dealing with cancer and the treatments. I don't want to toss this project and am looking for someone who thinks they can continue with it. I will sell all the parts wood and full size drawings and the many notes that I have. Sorry not my tools. If interested please contact me. I want to dispose as a complete project and not to piece meal.

    This is a tough one. When I contacted the ASA, they pointed me to the Mystic Museum. But they want $40 per page. I think there are about 20 pages in total. I was fortunate that there was a member at the ASA that had 1 set left for a reasonable cost. I don't think that is the case anymore.

    I'll soon get back to it. I just spent the last month preparing and attending a 6 day class. I watch them both too. Jim

    @Thistle17 I take to slow. Study how others do it. Be patience. Try my best. Don't be in a rush. Take my time and have fun. Sometime I have to for Leo to come out with a video for details before proceeding.

    Added mounting holes and alignment pins to secure metal keel to base. I am also marking out the location of the FRAMES and 1/2 FRAMES (one in between STATIONS FRAMES (red). Trying to locate the rest of the bolts so that they do not interfere with the FRAMES.

    If you look back through the photos, you will see how I thread 1/16" rods. I use a mini-lathe to hold the rod, and a custom jig to hold the 0-80 die. Nice and square and repeatable. FYI: I used to make cabinets and fine furniture. Those skills help in this project.

    Real LIVE OAK piece from the Tally Ho build that I am going to use in my build. The piece with the knot missing is WHITE OAK. Straighter grain than the LIVE OAK.

    Built a alignment jig with a gantry. Makes it possible to align the STATIONS and WATERLINES on different parts in the build.

    Added the prop shaft, more shaping of the center line.

    I could, but that would be cheating. 😁 No one but me would know.

    I have been buying from Micro-Mark. I am using 1/16" brass rods for the bolts and threading 0-80 on the ends. I will look at the link above and see what they have. Thanks

    @Keith Black 0-80 Ya small stuff.

    Just I few more progress photos. Added the prop shaft. Harder than I thought to drill a straight line through Purple Heart hard wood. Long small drills like to drift a lot. Tiny bolts. Question for everyone. Looking for a better source for mini hardware. These are costing $1.80 for each nut and washer + shipping, not including the bolt itself, or about $4 a bolt (2 nuts, 2 washers & bolt). Thanks for any help. Have already got though 25, and have lots more to add.

    There are lots of hidden in plain sight easter eggs. Pancho, the forklift, tribute to Arabella.
