My Third Woodworking Project

Post by fredsheldon »

My first woodworking project, which I noted here a few months back when I first obtained my SS 510, was the boat stand you see in the photo. My second were my pen and letter opener Christmas presents (29 sets to date), and now my third is a carryall for my model sailboat hobby. I have to lug all this equipment from my rv to the pond everytime I want to sail. Now I can load everything up on my little Red Wagon with oversize tires and I'm good to go.

Cool! Everything needed for a day at the local pond, including I note a cooler for the adult beverage of your choice to keep the ship's captain calm and cool.

Neat project. Well done.:D

Terrific first projects! The boat stand looks like it was designed and made by a pro! I can see a lot of thought and accurate measuring went into the carryall. Justs fits the wagon. Both projects are finished beautifully. I'll bet the letter openers were also very well done.

You do such good work, it would not be surprising if you built a specialized wooden wagon using your oversized wheels and metal tow bar.
