Seeker’s Sole, V Carving and Paint
We are TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT. What a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! Thanks to everyone who sponsored a tile. We may have more available in the future, but we don't want any ending up in the head. Unless that's where you want it to go. :) Deck Tiles: htt...
Floor Tiles and Paint Testing
What brings together scientist, truck drivers, constructions workers, military members, artist, and the occasional database administrator? Hell if I know. But I'm really glad that it's happening. Seeker has been a magnet for bring together new friends. ...
Salt & Tar Episode 13
saltandtar.wordpress.com gofundme.com/saltandtar This is my longest video so far! I had so much footage to sort through. I'm really excited I figured out that if I export the video to my external hard drive I'm not limited by the size of video. My tiny M...
Salt & Tar Episode 12
Sorry for the long wait! I can't believe how fast time moves even when it feels like it's not. This is how we managed to put our 600 Ib engine up and through the shed and into the boat. It shockingly only took 40 mins all said and done. A very special wa...
Salt & Tar Episode 10
Once again my poor tiny Mac couldn't handle exporting the video in full HD.... but here's the new video! The quality is not too bad. We are getting so close with the topside planking but unfortunately Garrett's back is out once more for time number three. ...

Pouring Lead into the Keels
Casting aluminum and bronze is fun, but it hardly compares to pouring a one thousand pound river of molten lead five feet down in the keels. We have done three pours now and have the major bugs worked out. Still at least seventeen more pours to go. It ...

Hatches & Scuppers – Part 4
Thanks to Jack, Kevin, Dan, Richard, and Mike on this one. We got a good start on the engine room hatch, two scuppers and put more work in on the deck crane and mast support.
Money for the Boat
Think positively. Eat healthy. Exercise today. Worry less. Work hard. Laugh often. Sleep well.

I've learned so much from my mistakes that I am planning on making more.
Bulwarks – Part 3
Many thanks Lucas, Greg, Hugh, and Jim for helping on the boat and ROV. And I am also grateful that so of you have offered to help. I wish I had a another room and more vacation. --Doug
Bulwarks – Part 1
Cut, grind, weld, repeat. We're not getting tired of it so I hope you aren't either. We did find a nice way to uniformily bend two 3" Sch 40 pipes. ...and once again, many thanks to Guy who is now back in Scotland.
Engine Room – Part 1

CNC Pattern Making and Sodium Silicate Sand Casting Bronze
Making custom metal parts can save you a lot of money but it's very rewarding in a strangely primeval way. If you don't love building, don't build big. See our website for more details: http://www.svseeker.com/casting_furnaces.htm
Skeg and Rudder – Part 3 – Propeller Shroud
Propeller shrouds were first added to canal boats to prevent erosion of the banks but the boat owners were delighted to learn that they had more power for hauling cargo. Our shroud will not only increase power for hauling cargo and towing, but it will prot...

After five days of work and one near death experience, our 15 ton hull is 24 inches off the ground and ready for her twin keels. Thanks for watching. We appreciate your comments and support.
Deck Plating – Part 2 – Side Decks
The side decks are all tacked in. It feels great to be able to walk back and forth on top of the boat. Tomorrow we start jacking her up to make room for the keels.
Dropping a Bulkhead in Place — Violently!
Sometimes the fastest way to lower it down, is to just let it fall. I've got enormous faith in my vertical sheet clamps. One more to bulkhead to go! BTW - No danger. Completely safe outside the hull.. I was pushing the crane so the plate would fall and...
Origami Boat Building – Spreading Her Open
