What is she intended for Bemm? It looks like it would be lucky to be 4' in length.
Still it does look the goods

Don't laugh Pete......... but I've kinda got this idea of fitting it out all shipshape.........and then suspending it from the loungeroom ceiling some how. Bit of a talking point and a distraction from the bloody goggle box.

I did think it would make a great cradle for a grand child some timein the future Bemm
I have seen some built here in Tassie out of Huon Pine & then fitted with a glass top as a coffee table.

Re: LEFT OVER PLY
Of course you're missing the obvious here - add a tow rope, put in a couple of bags of ice and some of those cans that come from the green box on your floor and you have the perfect 'refreshment' trailer for the Wadefish! Might even be a good place to put all those fish you catch too.
Nice build by the way, looks very schmick .

Re: LEFT OVER PLY
I like the coffee table idea are you following a plan or making it up as you go along?

Re: LEFT OVER PLY
Yet its a lovely timber. I love to see boats made out of it. It makes you cry to go down the West Coast of Tassie & sea silly little knick nacks made out of it for the tourist shops.Bemm 52 wrote: Gee I'd love to get my hands on some Huon Pine Pete................
There is a boat building school in Huonville south of Hobart that makes some lovely boats & dingys & every year one is put into a raffle to raise money for them. I always buy some tickets
