Steve is the 5th generation of his family to live at Pinetum Farm, and many of his tools are lovely hand-me-downs, but some are workhorses he bought at the start of the project for as much bang as he could get for the buck. Unfortunately, the Delta thickness planer has been complaining loudly lately...

Before we went to the boat show, Steve made progress with the galley sink, counter, and stowage area.
