About this Product
This is titled "Tugboat II" because I already had another tugboat model. It has sold so well that when I ran across this different plan I decided to add it to my toy line. A Navy veteran who had served on a seagoing tugboat purchased one of each of the tugboats which I took as a great compliment. I learned some things about these vessels from him to add to what had been (and probably still is) very limited knowledge. • This boat measures approximately 7 3/4" long by 3 1/3" wide and 4 1/2" high
• Hull is painted red, funnel black
• I'm sure your little captain will have many hours of fun playing with this handmade wooden toy

Meet the Maker
I am a U.S. Army Vietnam veteran, and have an MBA with a marketing concentration. I worked in retail management, then outside sales in the HVAC and refrigeration industry. I drove a limo for a year, then went to work at a large for-profit university. I worked as an admissions officer, then moved into student finance. I was also an adjunct faculty member, teaching courses in marketing. I retired in January 2020 and now devote as many hours as I wish per week to my woodworking business.
My wife of 50 years and I live in a rural area about 50 miles southwest of Chicago. Our two grandchildren live in Georgia so we do not see them as often as we would like. Woodworking began as a hobby, then I started selling at local craft shows in this area area and later moved to online sales. I enjoy making wooden toys and home decor items and have shipped over 1,000 orders all over the U.S. and even as far away as Australia. All my products are made from sustainable hardwoods such as poplar, oak, maple, and walnut which I purchase locally.
