Hi Ginny,
Here’s the link to some basic info on the blogger (me!) from the site:
http://eweandme.com/boatblog/index.php/about/

And some more info on the origins of this particular Whitehall from around September:
http://eweandme.com/boatblog/index.php/2007/09/20/more-on-the-whitehall-15/

I’ve organized the blog as a kind of running commentary on the projects I’ve been involved with, and much of the information you’re looking for is available if you read through the narrative. However, I think your point is that there’s no single page that pulls all the info on these boats together in a summary fashion. That might be an interesting side page to add in… I’ll put that in the queue.

I looked for some identification of the blogger, and where the shop might be, or which Whitehall design the builders are using. Couldn’t find anything anywhere. Could someone make sure that any blogs or pieces have some generic identification (location, object, builders, observers, tools, types of wood, etc.) as it would make any on the website ever so much more interesting and educational.

Thanks. Ginny Jones

Tis true, I think that Mr. Roberts was rather proud of this one. I wish I had samples of his early work!

When you marvel at the perfection of Mr. Robert’s boat and those little boo-boos on the Whitehall, stop and remind yourself that you’re probably comparing your first Whitehall with Mr. Robert’s 987th. You guys have a very fine boat shaping up.

Very cool jig for cutting the dutchman sockets!

Merry Christmas. Enjoy the holidays.
