last weekend. After struggling to get the stove pipe together, friend Paul loaned me a crimper to narrow the top of the first section. (The lower section in the photo below.)
Pics follow, including some other photos taken in the last week:
First fire after finally hooking up the new stove pipe. Last years Galvanized elbows rusted away. Thanks Paul.
I still need to have a custom flue made with a proper cast iron damper. Maybe copper? Are you reading this Quinten?
A bowl of “candy†from Venice. It’s Murano glass, twisted to look like wrapped candy. Tres cool.
This may be hard to see but it’s the Construction drawing of a 24 foot Scow Motorsailer I designed for Phil Clarke in 1978. I drew this for him while taking the Westlawn course. Through Phil I met the Beaton family and the rest is a very pleasant history for the last 25 years.
An image of Sjogin and myself taken and refined by a local Artist, Paul Barlo. There’s a great story about this image that I’ll get to soon.
Another Barlo work of the old lift at Beaton’s with the Yard Garvey lying in the slings.
