Meanwhile down on "SCHINTZLER'S POND"

[Jerry]

The reason why this is being built is who the hell knows why!
The subject is named after my friend Rick Schintzler 

It was just a trip to Essex Ma. by the four of us Rick, Dave, Marty, Nick & me!
To go the Essex shipbuilding museum.
Basically Dave Revelia idea as he had already built two ship and boat repair dioramas.
Well it was a great day well spent with friends and great memories.

There will be more to follow just wanted to start before beach season starts!!

This is a picture Rick took that really got me thinking of a waterfront scene even if it took 20 years.

I made a small jig to build the pier.

Wow! Jerry, like the others before me have mentioned, this will be a great thread!
That's if you really can show something is your posts - like at least a couple of
pieces of wood - joined together? Nice "catchy" name though, LOL

The last thing I expected today when coming here is to see my name in caps in a thread title.
Jerry, I'm honored to have your project named after me.
Looks like you've got the picture posting sorted.
I know you're much further along than what you're showing so there should be more updates coming soon.
Have fun building it.

Jerry count me in; should be a different kind of thread from what we've seen before.
Enjoy!!

Rich I've been cutting wood the last couple of days but the heat in the forest is terrible.
But I should have a few scraps around to get going.

Rick it was a privilege to name the thread after you.
Me and Diane have a lot of memories with you.

Thanks Larry for looking in.

Philip glad you here with me.

There will be an update later today  Now that I know how to post pictures.

Excellent modeling Jerry. It looks perfect.

[Larry C]

Jerry fantastic job on the pier/dock!!!!!! I can see where the jig not only made the build process quicker
but every bent looks exactly the same and I bent it sits perfectly flat which isn't an easy task; well done.

[Rick]

Jerry, great job.
Everything looks square and neat.
Nice colors too.
