The boat was made by Thompson Boat Co. in 1954, she is seaworthy, hull was in good shape when I got her. She measures out at eleven feet, six inches, given this size she is built for smooth flat water, any waves would make for a rough ride. I did use the Legacy when making the custom wood mirrors. I made the mirrors on the regular lathe and then mounted them on the Legacy to drill the hole for the mounting base, it really helped. I made a drill press platform on my Legacy to do this, see pics. I also took some pics today showing the some xmas ornaments I'm attempting to make on the Legacy(also using the drill press), I'm open to any ideas on this project. I've just begun so these are the early steps. The goal is have them be mostly round in diameter approx, 2 and half inches and to drill out the centers, perhaps add some fluting, etc. Has anyone tried this with any success? Thanks, Shell in Chicagoland.
