Bret,
Thank you for the compliment.
I made a little video today as I'm getting some emails from folks from YouTube that would like to see inside and where the project is at presently. So I did a short video walk through and commentary. (It will probably never make it to Cannes)

Bret,
You mean the "Tool, tool..tool bench"?
I have the cabin roof sitting on saw horses, man that was a lot easier than trying to fair it, and fit all the stringers up in the air. My buddy milled the rest of the tongue and groove already. The aft cabin should be done very soon now. Then all I have left is the upper and lower sill in the wheelhouse, trim out the cabin windows, and I can use it like that. I'm going to push to have the Doors and windows done and installed (The cutters are en route) before July.
It will be nice to get this completed, this 7 days, 9pm quitting time is getting old.
Look for pics around the weekend.

Finally, the major wood construction is complete. Now it's just Windows, doors and trim. And completing the boiler/engine install, which is relatively complete already.

Beautiful Job!
Hope that whistle will go outside, it may be a bit too loud inside the cabin.
