The flag staff, and the boat, look really good, Nick. I appreciate the honesty, or maybe humor, in your video. I usually try to sand or machine something while holding it down on a scrap of wood several times before I give up and get an actual clamp or vise. In one extreme case I eventually had to get my neighbor, and his drill press, to help.
Is there enough daylight (and warmth!) there to get work done between October and May?
