    Unfortunately no. And thanks for asking. The project is still on my
    things to do list, but bumped down in priority due to aging and health problems.... among other issues. I still have the drums and hope to
    get back to the boat project someday if I live long enough. Otherwise,
    the project could fall to one of my unfortunate heirs. In my will
    though, I'll point to this thread for guidance. There's some good info
    here that an unfortunate heir is going to need. ;-)
    (but hopefully I'll get back to it myself at some point)

    Something very very solid and stable.
