The Sleipnir project was a long time in the making. I wanted to build it several years ago but my wife put her foot down when I wanted to take over our backyard for it. For one thing if I had gone ahead and completed it there, a huge crane would have been needed to move it …

- Guess I am a bit of a pigheaded Viking, too; of course I can build a viking ship!

So I kept on making plans, and finding that I thought I had it all down pat.
