    Looks like a time for tweezers Bret. Trying to get that detail onto something that is only about 1" round as well as getting the wood thin enough so as not to look out of scale, a great job

    Thanks guys! No progress on the Ford this July 4th weekend. My wife and mother in law made my Father's day dinner last night although a little late very good none the less. Today I have to do some maintenance on my Camaro and then hopefully there will be time to work on the 64'. Will get back on the 32' in a few days.

    Well that cat is out of the bag. The wife and I decided to sell our home. We have been here for over 10 years and the market and interest rates are at a great place for us to sell make a good profit and upgrade to a much nicer bigger house. AND IT WILL HAVE A 3 BAY GARAGE!

    So of course that means no more work on the 32' for awhile. I have already dismantled and moved nearly my entire woodshop into storage and the big garage. I can now fit the wife's car in there.

    You can still see a few remnants of the woodshop. We sold our house in 2 days and the offer was a quite a bit over what we asked. We already fixed all the repairs from the inspection so we are just in waiting mode now. We have to move out of our current house on Sept. 9th. The new house won't be ready until Oct. 17th. So we will be staying with my parents for that time period. What an adventure that will be. All of the inconveniences will be worth it in the end. The bigger garage will allow me to have the same woodshop setup I had plus fit my car and the wife's car in the garage. I also plan to fully insulate it, have a Mini split, black and white checkered floor and will be upgrading to a full dust collection system.

    In the meantime I will just enjoy everyone else's work.

    Looks like a nice sized house Bret and an even nicer sized shop area, but I would hold off moving in as it could be a bit draughty at the moment

    Looking good Bret,

    It looks like the car will need to be housed elsewhere as the shed/workshop expands....
