It's now been over 3 years since hubby started his retirement hobby of building a wooden boat. What a long journey frustrating at times, as new skills were learned and mistakes made that necessitated redoing some processes. This is where he's at today.

| Brass strips have to be screwed into place to protect wooden boat bottom. |
 |
| Curved to fit, then masked off for the next step...epoxy. |
 |
| It looks simple but it's not, bending it to fit the boat's shape... |
 |
Physically and mentally challenging, next the strip will be glued to the wood
then all the little screws carefully drilled and filled with epoxy will be secured. |
This is a lot like life, we learn by doing. I'm going back through my old journals from 2000+ and am amazed at how I'm still grappling with some of the same issues in my life. Then there is my working desk without a computer which tends to become a stacking place for papers to sort later which never comes. Picture the before stage stacked about 6 inches high every square inch. Now it's inviting!

| Now the challenge to keep it looking like this and not make stacks!! |
