   Welcome aboard, Ron. We've already chatted once, but I thought I'd reply to your post.

   I also found it ironic 9 or so years ago when I found this forum that woodworking was not an option in the profile dropdown list.

   Great looking pooch. I recently lost my buddy, best friend and shopdog, Trooper, after 12 wonderful years. They never complain, and they're always happy to see ya. He looks like a happy one, too.

   Have fun with the rowboat.

   "they did have pretty nice lines to them"

   Yep, that clinker is no clunker.

   44th anniversary? Your father died young. I was lucky to have my dad until 2006, but he still seems to be with me when I use his tools in my shop.
