It’s starting to look like a boat…
Jointer plane!!!
The transom of a boat with its edges beveled and tools resting on top.

A partially assembled boat hull resting on saw horses.
Some progress photos of the boat build—transom prepped, frames prepped, and initial assembly of the hull with the bottom plank and garboards held together by frames.
Conversely we need a lot more of this

Yeah this is my barbell routine:

What do you expect from a Lincoln Project Republican?
I just call him Melon Husk, like a normal person.
Clamps! Or clamp-like device.
A bandsaw covered with white dust, with two rings cut from PVC on its table.
Three internal frames being assembled and held together with extensive clamps.
Two internal boat frames being clamped together.
I was warned that I would not have enough clamps…luckily I was able to make some PVC clamps fairly easily. #boatbuilding #woodenboat #clamps #bandsaw
Yep just having a normal one out here. For sure.

My contention is that the media have not done a good job informing people, if so many voters are uninformed. They have fallen short of their responsibility, in other words.
Plato would not have been surprised, that's for sure.
I disagree; I think the news media don't present information honestly out of a desire to promote their narrative. If the candidates had been presented accurately in an accessible fashion, the results would have been different. As it is, people had to go off "vibes" more than they ought to.

Mess with the rose, you’re gonna get the thorns.
This set of images feels especially Tom Waits-adjacent to me.
Reminds me of Cività di Bagnoregio.
Multiple pencil sketch views of a small clinker-built dinghy with two different rigs, a balanced lug (top) and gunter sloop (bottom) on the left with bow/stern profile (top) and top/bottom layout (bottom) on the right.
Here’s another little dinghy idea I had—something that could make for exciting and challenging single hand sailing with the sloop rig (bottom), or a relaxed cruise with 2-3 passengers with the lug rig (top). Shape is reminiscent of Nigel Irens’ Western Skiff, I think. #sketching #boatdesign
Left hand side shows top-down and stern views of a sailboat; right hand shows rough side-view sketches of a boat with single lug sail (top) and Gunter sloop (bottom) rigs.
My thought is that I’d build this to an almost comically high standard of detail—including strip-planked decks and rounded multi-chine lapstrake/clinker hull. This is supposed to give a sense of what that would look like—also note the two different mast positions for different rigs. #sketching
The hull proportions below WL are waaaay off, of course, so I will need to take a few more cracks at it to get something close to reasonable.

Breaking out my sketchbook for the first time in years, I realize that I like drawing boats but need to keep practicing if I ever want to actually design one and build it. This is supposed to be a traditionally-styled high-performance 1-2 person racer…
Next level. Here I am with just two, like a troglodyte.
Pergolating. #pergola #carpentry
With the planks scarphed and joints sanded, we can start the epoxy pre-coating. I was glad to have such enthusiastic help! #woodenboat #boatbuilding #epoxy
