So last weekend we worked on the boat and spent time with our grandsons. I delivered the top made last week to one and returned the toy F1 car to the other. Silly me. There is no reasoning with three year olds. I didn’t get the manual that says definitely don’t give one grandson a top and not the other ! What a circus. So we are returning this weekend to continue working on the boat and deliver another top. Walnut and maple again. I gave this one a brass tip to make it a little different. I will turn the launcher tomorrow and quell the uprising this weekend.

But what does momma say when the hand playing with that monster slips?

I'm sure it is an unwritten code and an assumption is made that you know the code. 

Nice top, now let's hope it came out the same size!

It’s done. Turned the launcher today and gave it a test drive. My brother announced he will fly down this weekend with what he says is the family record holder for a spin off. Should be a great time for the kids. He has several that were turned by my father for us so it will be good to see them.

Another family heirloom.
