Nice work on that crane, Keith!

 Thank you, Glen.

 

 Thank you to all for the comments and likes. 

 

 

 Lula's bow is finished with the exception of weathering the deck. I plan on doing that tomorrow during daylight hours.

 Lula and the pile driver lashed in tow is 14.5 inches in length. Once Lula is finished I'm pretty certain I'll display them together in tow.

Would the pile-driver actually pushed from the side of the rig? I would have expected the tug to be tied up to the other side, also so that the driver can be manoeuvred into position.
