Now I need find somewhere on the boat to utilise a tick stick before I finish the build!

Awesome stuff, very interesting to look at. Man that’s a massive amount of TIG! Appreciate you posting after all those years, What’s this? Circled in picture.

Damn, that’s nice! Too bad you didn’t show me this 2 months ago! I don’t think think I want to re-engineer the bollard at this point. When I first started building I was happy just to build the Cackler straight up as per Sam’s plan, but the more l learned, the more pictures I looked at my...

Excellent, I’m happy that you are enjoying the thread. And thanks for your input Steve. About the bollard I was hoping that the bollard would act as a post to add some rigid support to the deck. Thinking about the “receiver” now, ideally it should have been longer so that the deck rests on it...

“What did you do on the boat today?” Saaaaaaaaaaaaaanding 🤪🥵😩 Boat building should not be called boat building, everyone knows it’s really boat sanding! This is me sanding…

Very intuitive RM, are you psychic? You are actually correct, I do have a receiver hitch of sorts under the deck! I'll go into more detail, later in my build thread because there is actually a cool story behind the construction of the bollard. But briefly — I found an off-cut of aluminium...

Eric, I do spend a bit of time trying to work out how to do things. Shortcuts? Hmmmm, some of my sanding could definitely have more time spent, but I keep telling myself it’s a home-made boat so to some degree it should reflect that — which for me means that it doesn’t have to be perfect. This...

Sorry RM I don’t know what you’re referring to. Are you asking about this… If so, then sorry to disappoint, it’s just my bow roller for the anchor. Here’s a better picture… But on the topic of winches, I saw a video come through my socials recently of a lightweight, portable winch that was...

Nice work Henry!! Looking at the floorboard in the bow storage compartment, I see you have a cut-out at the front, 3 round holes in the middle and a long cut-out at the back — what purpose do they serve?

Some of my boat building processes are probably unconventional because I don’t exactly know what I’m doing and have no references or experience to draw upon. The weird cut shape of the panels is just because that’s how the bracing underneath was constructed. A couple of reasons: 1/ I wanted...
