Nathan, thanks. I try to explain it as I go.
OldTool, this is an old school way of building.
Dutchy, thanks. I think it would be about the same process if those stairs were circular.
WoodGuy, thanks. I am guessing somewhere around 500 - 600 hours to build it. Yes, a little ironic, that the term matches the "Loft". Originally, I thought about calling the shop "The Boat Loft" due to the fact that is what i really built the shop for.
Duck, it will come together after the next chapter, at least I hope so.
Ron, thanks. They are interesting and a wooden boat is even more interesting.
