Dinghy chocks are surprisingly difficult to find. We contacted Spaulding Boatworks to get a quote on bronze castings using Lin and Larry Pardy's patterns that they donated to Spaulding. The total cost of the quote? $400 for two. So it was back to the drawing board.
When we joined techshop, we learned of a place called Metal Supermarkets near us in Redwood City but because they are only open during the work day we'd never been able to go. This week we stopped by for a look around.

For $40 we purchased enough stainless steel for both the chocks and the backing plate for 3 chocks. In one afternoon at techshop using their band saw and metal grinders we have two lovely chocks and backing plates.
We also made a quick stop at MacBeath Hardwood and picked up a 3 foot slab of teak to install in the chocks.

This project is coming along surprisingly well. Considering how difficult our prior two projects were (engine repower and boom gallows), I wonder if I have a redefined definition of complicated.
