Well I have started to build Tortuga . Some friends are coming over tomorrow to help me flip her over. Got all the welding done I will be glad to get back to making sawdust . I learned a valuable lesson though . When drilling holes is steel don't bush away the sawdust with your index finger. Its not sawdust!

Lol... I resemble that remark.. Unfortunately, I keep re-learning that lesson. (And it's matching lesson, after welding, the steel is really hot and hurts to touch it)
Good luck on your build.
