+1.That joint work was impressive.
I'm in awe of the energy and talent of the kid. Was I like that when I was his age? I doubt it.

That major piece was not in the original budget.relative to the budget, it's concerning that he's cringing over the cost of the first piece of new wood.
There's a lot more to buy...
Granted, just that a $6k bump to the budget shouldn't be surprise to the project.That major piece was not in the original budget.

This reminds me of another great project. You guys seen any of Acorn to Arabella?
Couple of guys building a Ingrid 38...and actually starting from the point of cutting down trees and milling their own lumber. They just poured a 4.5 ton lead ballast keel the other day...
Will it even float?9,000 pound keel on a 38 footer? Talk about a freakin' Lead Mine!!
Sequim Wa. (where the boat and shop are located) is not very conveniently/centrally located.I'm surprised he's not getting more volunteer help. Given the number of sailors in the NW and the interest in wooden boats, there should be people clamoring to help, especially in the winter when they can't do much sailing. Then again, I tried to interest my stepson who lives in Seattle to go over and help, but not so far. Sadly I live in the midwest, so I'll send along $100 instead, making my viewing of his videos worth $7 each so far, with viewing prices decreasing until I ante up again.
