Default Sandman's other woodworking
I was up at Sandman's house yesterday and got a chance to see the boat he built for his brother-in-law. Everything wood in the pictures was built by Gordy. He even hand-wrapped all the rope ends. Really impressive and I thought you guys would appreciate seeing it. Truly beautiful work.

Simply beautiful, Sandman.

You are my new hero. Wooden boats are special.

Simply Amazing!! You just don't see craftsmanship like that anymore. Makes me appreciate his work even more, thanks for sharing.

Where's the pic of the autograph?

How high do you think it would go on a N3300R?




Beautiful craftsmanship is what that is. Takes a real man to build a wooden boat!
