Ruths card
Ruths lovely card - drawn by her -- is enclosed with the Full Scale Plans Ruth Ann Hill is the partner of John Brooks and with him the co author of the excellent "How to Build Glued-Lapstrake Wooden Boats". In their book, they say "a boatbuilding book isnt really living a full existence until she has sawdust in the binding, epoxy putty on the cover, coffee stains on the pages...." Well, Ive got as far as the coffee stains on the Ruths postcard! And also: finished the building Jig today, and working on the cleats for the web frames and the moulds. Getting on with it.... |
