Forum has seen nearly double the views over Jan 2018. The gallery is has had nearly 12000 views this past month with a grand total of 3,413,649. The SMM 2018 poster is still in the works, but other priorities has delayed it somewhat.

Activities at Lou's assembly line and shipyard was closed for three days due to a real life propane leak. Pretty scary once you start thinking about what could have happened. Regardless, it is cooler in the basement as two small space heaters are heating 1000 sq ft with neither being in my shop area. I managed an hour working on my Bonnie's island and main mast before accidentally knocking the main structure off the bench. I was lucky and no major damage. 60F/15C is not ideal for delicate work. I hope to replace the propane heater with a heat pump within the next few weeks and return to my usual routine.
