CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH – AVALON – UPDATE #4
Following from last weeks update (#3) on the restoration of the 1954 Sam Ford built classic wooden launch – AVALON, owner Tobias Forsyth sent in more photos of the work-in-progress.
Tobias commented that the next time home (works at sea) he will be building the cabin top, this has been down the To Do List as keeping it off makes working inside a easier, especially when it’s really hot.
The rebate is in for the glass and all the templates are made, ready to send to the glazier for new glass.
Tobias said the To Do List is getting smaller every time he is home and it feels very good to be finishing jobs and making things look nice again.
She’s came a very long way since sitting on his Grandma’s lawn and he couldn’t be happier with how good everything is falling into place.
The plan is in the water ready to go by next summer. 🙂
