Wooden Boat Project- It Can Be Done!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

A couple of weeks ago I highlighted a boat project that some folks were taking on and I’m thinking that I may have motivated them just a little bit in this post

Well since then I am very happy to report the couple has really made incredible progress on their Thompson Brothers Runabout.

Here are two updates in the short time since we highlighted this project with some nice shots of the restoration project.

Congratulations, the boat is coming out spectacularly.   It’s nice to see.

I highly recommend everyone to check out the pictures, before and after.  The job Greg and his wife are doing show that these projects can be done if you are handy enough.  Of course this is a 14 foot boat and not a monstrosity like The Huge White Boat or The Lazy Daizy but nonetheless it’s going to be a boat to behold once completed.

Lee Bolton’s War Games Headquarters

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Last night our group of crazies got together for more Block party planning. Within the inner sanctum of the Cape Ann Business Incubator Lee Bolton runs his operation. It looked like a scene right out of the eighties movie War Games with Matthew Broderick and Alley Sheedy.

Lee is helping us with the huge slide show and video presentation for the Block Party but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if we find out that this guy is really plotting to take over the world from his command center deep in the bowels of the Cape Ann Business Incubator.
