O'Day 25

When we got the boat the bow pulpit had one leg broken and the other was partially separated.  Looks like the previous owner liked to hit the dock with it.  I looked all winter for a replacement but didn't have any luck.  I was chatting with the owner of a local marine store and she suggested taking it to a friend of hers.  Guy is a welder.  So I went to his shop.  Right in the middle of our little town.  What a peace of work!  The guy is 86 years old and had the shop for 60 years.  He also had every scrap he ever worked on.  He also knows how to weld.

It's been a while since I posted something here.  4 months time.  The winter was just miserable.  No work on the O'Day or the canoe.  No boat work anywhere!!  To to make matters worse we had a monster storm that blew out my temporary shed.    I'm just now getting back in business.  What I did get accomplished  was to make some slats to cover the interior cabin.  I did a test with 5 furring strips that I got at HD.   They turned out ok and I'll make  some more.
