Paddle Wheel Boat

Picture
12/16/2018
​Just finished a project gift for my employee's kids. Got plans from Wood magazine Issue 258. A fellow steamboater sent me a photo of her boat. Stern paddlewheel, chain driven, and twice the size of mine. Thinking hard now, so much trouble to get parts to use drive shaft, might rethink using chain again. Just use larger links.
