"I also started the rounded point at the tip of the boat tail. The progress on this piece is two beers worth... I believe it will take a few more to get it done"
Like what you're working with to make it come together, makes it all the more enjoyable!

Thanks guys
The key for making this happen is the right tools. The pictures show the main ones that I use... not shown is my welders, grinders, cutoff wheels hammers and dollys Attach file:  (135.55 KB) (140.14 KB) (149.95 KB) (128.06 KB)

A wise move, beer doesn't mix well with power tools! But, afterwards is a different story altogether.
