This is my workbench area in the shop. The workbench is in a spot that's easy to pull it into the middle of the room so I can work around a project. My clamps are located nearby, as are my handtools.

This eye-catching launch was originally designed by R.D. "Pete" Culler as a fantail motor launch for Peter Burling.
The boat is 24 feet 5 inches long with a beam of 6 feet 2 inches Her draft is 2 feet, at which she displaces 4,200 pounds.
The class of 2005 built the launch for a local owner, who uses her extensively on the north Puget Sound. She is planked in western red cedar over white oak frames. She was named ZIPPY after Instructor Rich Wilmore's Boston Terrier.
You can read more of Pete Culler's comments about his design for this boat in John Burke's book "Pete Culler's Boats: The Complete Design Catalog" published by International Marine in Camden ME in 1984 ISBN 0-87742-142-0.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school.
Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts.

You can reach us via e-mail at info@nwboatschool.org or by calling us at 360-385-4948.
The School begins classes once each year, early in October. Students are divided into sections of 12 students each, and get two hours of classroom instruction and six hours of shop instruction per day, Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm.
Basic Boatbuilding is the focus of the first semester, which runs from early October to late December.
The instructors assume that most, if not all, students have no woodworking skills and proceed from that assumption. The skills taught in the first semester are those essential to boatbuilding, and the course, for that reason, is very "hands-on".
Students learn to sharpen and use all their tools, and participate in a wide range of individual skill-building exercises, from learning to make the joints commonly used in boatbuilding to a series of tools. Students learn to draft and make a half-model. Then, working in pairs, they learn to loft a boat full-size on the floor. Finally, working, together as a team, the semester culminates in December as students work together to build a flat-bottomed skiff.

Probably dating from 1965. The Sheffield factory at Handsworth Road no longer exists. In its place is an ASDA supermarket. Production is now in China as part of the Bowers Group.
I used to have a bad habit of carrying trowels around with me when I was gardening and leaving them where I was working. I often forgot where they were and when I needed them again, I’d have to walk around the garden looking for them, trying to remember when I had used them last. As much as I tried to always put them back in the garage, I just couldn’t seem to remember. I love my trowels and thus never want to lose them. Not to mention a good garden trowel is not a cheap purchase.
A few months ago I decided to put a bucket by the back to keep my trowels and my cultivator in. After doing this I’ve been able to keep track of them. I find myself carrying my trowels back to the house with me and throwing them into the bucket. This has worked well for me and I have only had to look for my trowel once or twice since I started doing this. I also like that they’re right there when I walk out the back door. I no longer have to open the garage door and head into the garage to get my tools, I simply grab the one I need from the bucket and head out into the garden.
If you're in the market for good quality small garden tools I would highly recommend The Rumford Gardener large trowel, transplanting trowel, and the cultivator. I purchased them many many years ago at Target, but they are now available on Amazon. They're solid die cast aluminum and they're cast in one solid piece with a rubberized handle coating. They're tough as nails and strong as an ox yet light enough to use for a long period of time. In my rocky tough soil they keep on going where a lesser trowel would have been bent long long ago. I also find them quite comfortable to use.
