Key Largo by Dave Vangsness, Riverside, California

The jig I made to drill the shaft hole. It consists of
a hole saw mounted in the end of a dowel that was turned on
the lathe to fit into the strut exactly. The strut was
located and temporarily secured and dowel passed
through. I epoxied a steel bolt in the end of the dowel
and chucked into the drill. A block of wood was placed
on the hull to give the bit a square surface to bite
into. I sat on the block while my son ran
the drill!

"Righting Day" I used the "Beer and
Buddies" method.
Although it was a bit rainy, all went well.
