    how many times can the same part break during rigging?

    The joke in our family is "Watch out for the bow sprit". Over the last 35 years of building everyone at some time has backed into walked past or just swung by and broken off the bow sprit of some ship I have built. One must suffer for their craft.

    Scratch built "Star Of India" By Dave Teel

    The hull was single planked and the I used a slurry of fine silica sand and white glue. After it dried I painted the hull with acrylics. I have a build log posted in scratch builds.

    CA for rigging

    I have used "Fray Check" for years. It dries clear and holds just like glue. I also use it when securing ratline lines so they don't move when spaced and set. When used on sails it dries without leaving any marks at all. It works great to stiffen up ends of lines going through blocks , just...

    Biggest novice ship building mistakes!

    Take your time. If you become frustrated just walk away for awhile. I spent many hours going back and fixing work I had done when I was just not in the zone. This is suppose to be enjoyed and relaxing, if not just walk away for awhile. I my case it was for years before I had the bug again.

    USS Constitution from Scientific Models

    You are a true inspiration for Scientific kit builders. I also enjoy taking a 1970's kit and transforming the original build concept into something beautiful.

    Constructo Bluenose II

    A neighbor in my coplex who frequents my workshop often has been very nice in the coments made towards my work. I decided to surprise her with a build of her own. Because she lives in a condo too I needed to build something small enough to fit into her space. I never worked with Construto before...
