wouldwurker Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Project Journal Here: http://www.woodtalkonline.com/topic/20445-tugboats-for-christmas/ Pine, old growth Redwood, Cherry, Spanish Cedar, Walnut (dark one was ebonized with Iron Acetate), Purple Heart, Birch Finish is Seal a Cell (one coat), West Systems Epoxy (3 coats) and Arm R Seal ( 3 coats). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Easy to build...a royal pain in the butt to finish. Painting on and wet sanding epoxy is a chore. By the time I got to the Arm R Seal, I just tied a piece of fishing line to the mast and dunked the boats directly into the can of finish! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wouldwurker Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Of course a pic of a toy is useless unless it's being played with. https://youtu.be/uOf571Mv_6o CharlieJojo had other plans for it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banderson Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 My kids love their tug boats. Never had the courage to put them in water. They turned out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
