I retired in January and am finally able to work on this boat I’ve had for a few years. I’m just a hobbyist but really enjoy making boat parts. One of my friends says I have a way of making machine work look “busy”. Not sure that was a compliment 😁

Awesome stuff! What are you using to machine all this? At home?

I have a small bench top mill and a 12x36 HF lathe
You hand cranked all of those parts???? Been a hobby machinest for decades, but I don't think I could pull that off. Awesome work!

I'm curious who did the paint on your flat? It shows some similarities to my Mandella.

Awesome stuff, there is a ton of time involved in each of those pieces. I noticed the radius on some pieces like the seat brace on the openings in the center, are you doing that on the mill? Or using a router? How will all the parts be finished? Powder, ano, polish?

I use a router for the radius. Everything will be anodized

Same colors as my other boat.

This boat is amazing in person!!! I remember staring and drooling over it in the staging lanes in phoenix. Please post more of both boats #dragboatsrule
