Tool Stool Functional Check for ASW

 10 Nov 22:

The tool stool that we rescued from a local junk shop was put to the test today, we loaded the tool tray with a drill, screws and hardware to install Skipper's new boat hoist. 

The tray is a good size to carry tools and materials for a small job, and we were able to make the trip from the Boat Works to the work site in one trip vs two. The handle is more comfortable now that we rounded the edges, both on top and bottom.

Before cleaning and repair.


After cleaning with TILEX, new side, sanding and TotalBoat Gleam varnish gloss.

I stood on the stool to install the overhead hoist hardware, it is stable now that we repaired the bottom edge. The stool is a good size and height to sit on for a break, and the 3 coats of varnish protect it from the elements.

We checked off all of the items on the functional check card. The stool has the letters ASW on one side, so I guess that's what we'll call it for now. Future versions may have a cup holder chock and be adequately sized to carry a Laphroaig or wine bottle and a couple of glasses.
