Oar locks

No, not the bronze things that the oars rest in on the thwarts... Over on s/v Painkiller Ken has been very busy. What I've included here is only part of his original post - you should go see it. Here Ken makes a device to ensure that his oars do not go astray while he is away...

Need to secure the oars from theft so I went on to build a home made version of Edsons oar clamps that cost a wee too much money.

 I think this lock is going to be down right pretty when it's set on the thwart of that Dyer. Below is the the new future mast and boom to said Dyer dingy because .....I have a few things in the kettle these days.
