She's simply beautiful, and yes, he makes it fully functional. Over four years of progress there. Talk about commitment.  Hats down! Stephane

Done! It took me about 4 years altogether! I spent the summer painting it. This was quite a time consuming job, taking it all apart and spray painting every part, then putting it together again.      https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1904/43105838570_b3ac8de20d_b.jpg"/> Kerst

kerst, watching you build that over the past four years and then viewing your pictures today, all i can say is that is one spectacular build and well worth the wait. Now you can enjoy it along with all people who will be viewing it. I would love to see that in person, and also your complete set of tools and workshop. That is amazing craftsmanship.
Thanks for sharing your work over the past four years.
