I’ve made progress on the prototype. The lid is installed. I fashioned a hinge out of retired spectra running rigging from the 5o5 Bar-ba-loot (pictured below). The hinge needs a little fine-tuning, but I like the Xs. I handcarved the curves in the lid. Nice soft fir makes for easy carving.

Beautiful!! The lorax would be proud.
What’s up with the hippy? He doesn’t look all that strong but… wow. Could he hold up the boat with one arm like that if his hair was chopped off?
