The wisdom of a good wife...

Thanks for the likes and the comments. Much appreciated.

Last week, I continued working on the new yard layout (work desk) and the ratlines of the port side Foremast.
This is now complete, except for finishing the futtock stave and shortening the excess length of the ratlines.

Next week we'll continue with the new workbench, finishing the futtock stave on the port side and then starting the ratlines on the starboard side.
Since I have to move the ship and its work base every time to work on it, which my wife saw a few times, the new workbench setup will have a slight priority over the Batavia.

"You need a good workspace. Don't just move your keyboards and sit there. Prioritize."
Those were my wife's words. So we'll follow them.

Have a great week of building, everyone.

It still looks nice and tidy, Clemens. And with your wife's wise words in mind, you should get started quickly.
Regards, Peter

Thanks John, I take my time working on the ship. If I do not like it, I start over again.
It is not only the end result, but also the journey it self.

Hey Clemens,

Really nicely done. Take your time. You're doing it just right. When you enjoy your work, the results are always great...
