Chuck's Ship

Posted on April 9, 2008January 10, 2012 by Andi

Some of you have heard about this ship. Chuck's grandpa built it. This thing comes in a flat kit. He put everything together. From shaping the wood, to tying all the knots in the rigging. It's amazing to look at. Chuck and his dad worked many hours perfecting the case that holds the ship. They took wood straight off a tree. This was rough wood, so they had to make it smooth, glue pieces together for the right size…this isn't wood you buy at the local hardware store! Chuck has also been working incredibly hard on a lighting system for it. He finished it yesterday and it looks wonderful! Just like something you would buy in a store…but all hand made, of course! So this is our newest piece of furniture in the house. It's going to be quite the conversation piece!

Chuck builds so many cool projects! He put together a website to write about them. This way he can remember what he did when he looks back. What a handy guy I have! I attached the link below if you would like to see it.
