The shop is open for the day for anyone that wants to use it. I will be busy most of the day with other stuff. But will most likely be able to drop in from time to time to hang out a little. So drop in if you have stuff to work on, or just want to catch up on some boat chatter and war movies. Mikey
We will be building at my shop in Pleasant Hill, Ohio all day tomorrow. Trying to get boats ready for the battle in Xenia, Ohio next weekend. M
My boat-shop is cleaned up and available to anyone that wants to use it today. I will be gone most of the day doing family stuff. But you all are welcome to use the shop. It would probably be a good idea to bring along your own food and drinks. Mikey
We are planning a build-session in the Dayton area on the weekend of Nov 12-13. Saturday for sure. And possibly on Sunday as well. M
We are building at my shop tomorrow from 10 am until late afternoon. Possibly into the early evening. Mikey
Mark is working on his Galo. John is working on his Hood. Jim is supervising. And Seth is working on his new California. Vance is out of town this weekend. I am starting to work on the P.E. for the Denmark Straits battle next month. Mikey
Although I will only be able to drop in occasionally, the boat-shop is open for anyone wanting to build tomorrow. Mikey
We wanted to make sure that you all knew about the build session This Saturday, the 12th, at our shop/studio. We will start at 10:00 AM and go to whenever. We are in the Davis Linden building at 400 Linden Ave. Dayton, Ohio 45402. It's air conditioned and there is plenty of room with lots of table space. Just turn into the tunnel that goes into the inner courtyard of the building. Straight in front of you as you enter the courtyard will be a door marked with a silver "102." That's ours, just walk right in. Eddie and Kevin Deal
Vance and I were able to attend the build-session yesterday. I must say that this is by far the coolest boat shop I have ever seen. It is located in an old sewing machine building that was converted over to war production in the 40s. Lots of room, and all of the needed tools. The USS Ohio is pretty much ready for sea trials, and then combat. So it seems that she will be sailing into harms way this coming weekend. Thanks to the hosts. Mikey
I can host a 2-day build-session at my shop in Pleasant Hill, Ohio next weekend. May 19-20. We can start around 10 am and go as late as we like. Mikey
I might have to talk to mom. Cuase the big hamfest is next weekend.. But we can try and get a spin thingy for the float. Nikki
The boat shop is closing for the day. John, Jim, and Phil made it up. Phil worked on the Italian battleship, and the Altmark, and pretty much helped everyone else. John worked on his Bearn aircraft-carrier. I worked on Jeff's Lutzow, and P.E. Jim supervised, and browsed through the Treaty ship-list. Nikki and Nut checked in on us via phone. We watched some really great movies. Action in the North Atlantic, Sailor of the King, Night and Day, and perhaps another that I can't recall. It was great fun indeed. I am looking forward to doing it again tomorrow. I must get my beauty sleep for now. Thanks all! M
