My Navigator Yawl sailboat

This is my 15' Navigator Yawl. Her name is "Ellie". She has been on display in several boat shows and even won a trophy at one. It took me 20 months to build her. I bought a used Shopsmith 510 and used it almost daily throughout the construction. I used every mode of the machine - even a couple modes Shopsmith never thought of! We love the boat and I really enjoyed building her with my Shopsmith.
For more information, I have a blog at http://navigatorjoel.blogspot.com/ with construction photos, video clips and stories of our sailing adventures.

And there I was puffing my chest about my pens.

Very nice. I dont think I would ever have the talent to build something that beautiful.

I was thinking the same thing about your pens. I really wish I could make them but my eyesight isn't too good when it comes to close up work. I've tried larger turnings several times only to discover I have no talent at it. I really admire those of you that are so good at it.

Beautiful work on your yawl! Takes me back to when I built a Windward 15 years ago. Nowhere near as complex as your project, and it took me longer than 20 months to build her. Fair winds and following seas!

First major project I did that used the ShopSmith. I just about gave up ripping anything after the aluminium upper and lower guards kept showering me with sparks no matter how much attention I gave to alignment of the guards and guides.

My grandad had an 1950's version of this machine and my dad had a 1980's Mark V (the one I'm using now) and all I remember is how easy they made everything seem to do on these machines as a kid!

Oh, I did not make those chairs!

I was really amazed when I saw those chairs. Then I read the caption at the bottom. Great looking set for sure.

I have 6 maple & leather Crate & Barrel chairs similar to those but I need 2 to 4 more - the back stays are curve on the horizontal not vertical though. I am going to copy them when I get much better at woodworking.
