I recently had the good fortune of meeting Bill Grumbine while he was in Cape Cod. He drove an hour or so north for the visit.
I gave him the full five and half cent tour of the ship and our workshop used to maintain her in her 1812 configuration. From the spar deck to the keel, and the 50HP 4-sided planer to the 4 foot chop saw.
Bill brought a bunch of "show and tell" pieces - AMAZING work.
After the tour we had lunch and enjoyed talking about a diverse range of topics. He truly is an amazing man.
I've only had the good fortune of a couple of Creeker visits and all of them have been amazing.
If anyone finds themselves heading towards Boston, be sure to drop me a line.
Oh, and the picture to prove it all...
Be well,
Doc
