I was looking for my boat but you missed me by a few yards or maybe a few hours. Don't feel too bad about that I have about twenty shots from my anchorage in the bay and only one with your lovely yawl in it. It's too distant in the photo to even recognize. http://www.shopsmith.net/forums/attachm ... 1322876893
I met you briefly but you may remember me or my boat.

Do you recognize the burgee on my shroud?

Almost immediately I was making far more precise cuts than I could ever have hoped to cut with my DeWalt scroll saw. It's a copy of a machine introduced in Paris about 200 years ago that at the time revolutionized the art of marquetry. Mine is self designed after looking at photos on the web. It's not far off the original except for the fact that I have access to better bushings. She's a joy to operate.

Almost all operations were done on my 510 here in Green Valley. It took about 40 hours and cost me under $100. Thanks to Gene Howe for the Bois d'Arc used in the saw frame and the mesquite in the knob and rocker rack. The rest of the wood was salvaged from an old beam I had to replace because one foot of it was rotten.

This is the mesquite knob. You don't actually hold it by this strangely. It's use is in springing the blade.

This is the operator's position. very relaxed and comfortable. You could do it for hours.

This is a little marquetry border I chose to try her out. The white bits are pattern paper stuck to some of the dark green veneers. It will come off after final glue-up.
