The #tabnlocksystem I developed is nothing new, but it sure is working for my customers, students, and the boats. The tabs simply lock into CNC cut slots in the planks of the boats, allowing the boat to be self-jigging and easy to build. I still make a little chuckle when I put the boats together! It's so cool! #tabnlock #boatkits

An #echobaydoryskiff heading home from #woodenboatschool after #familyweek. This was a while back and they launched in Colorado. Their photo found its way into our new ad in @woodenboatmagazine. Will post that next.
