The gentleman builder is not only adept at building houses; he has also turned his hand to boat-making.
For Christmas, the gentleman builder made a boat, the Green Beetle, for padawan. The boat is a wacky lassie design obtained online, here. It's made from left-over ply with fibreglass and epoxy for waterproofing with an oil based paint to protect the wood. It took longer than the originally anticipated day but the kids get such joy from it and it was a well-deserved break from the monotony that is shouse building.
The gentleman builder's brother made a timber canoe (of much higher quality than the Green Beetle), and the race was on. No prizes for guessing the winner but the boys had a great time!
