Excellent progress David. She's really taking shape.

Great work here. Really excellent.

Loving seeing the Orca come together (and so sorry finger is coming apart...)! Hang in there - a few prayers going up for swift recovery (of the finger that is.).

David...keep that up and I will be sending the Big Guys in the white coats to check up on you! LOL, that was hilarious. The guys and work wanted to know what I was laughing about. Thanks for the smile!

Does anyone recall a film called “Four Rooms”? The last story in this anthology is directed by Tarantino and involves a block of wood, a doughnut, a ball of twine, three nails, a club sandwich, a bucket of ice and a hatchet "as sharp as the Devil himself". There is a wager where one character will light up his Zippo ten times in a row without a fail to win another one’s vintage car, or lose his pinky otherwise. Being a Tarantino story Zippo fails on a first attempt…

Marvelous woodwork David, bravo! Just watch out, all that ketchup may attract sharks… 😉
Cheers,
Aleks

Lower front deck completed and battery hatches sculpted and fitted. All sharp blades removed and the kids have me on close observations for any sudden moves.

This morning’s progress is a table. Not just any old table, but a fabled table. In fact, as it’s made with real, strong tiny joints, you could say it’s a stable, fabled, table.

The table where Hooper and Quint compare scars and Quint talks about the USS Indianapolis, which gives his borderline psychotic ‘Captain Ahab’ persona a whole new depths and insight.

“...You know, that was the time I was most frightened – waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a life jacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, and the sharks took the rest”...

“...anyway, we delivered the bomb...”
