And so the adventure ends...
Every Stovebolt Topper has been mailed.
Almost 50 bolters participated! All the way to Europe!
It was a LOT of work. But well worth every minute...
Some 'bolters ALREADY have them bolted on! What a rush...
After talking to Peggy and John on the phone, before starting on this task I thought: ' What genuinely open hearted, warm folks'...
Imagine that: more than 10 years on the web? 10 000+ members??? They've been there for this community all along, even through the 'Lounge Years'
When John was telling me about his youth around a marina on beautiful Lake Memphremagog, it hit me... and so I made this for Peggy and John's home:

It's a 'one off'. Numbered #000, signed... Cast in
solid brass. With cast brass plate. On a varnished, Mahogany stained board.
Like that antique boat I imagine towing behind my '53 one day...
Thanks to Peggy and John for 10 years of Stovebolt Pages...
Till next time,
