Eric's Bluenose is in the post.
She should be here just in time to ring in the New Year.
Thanks, @Heinrich

Hi Eric. It is absolutely great to see the start of our second Build Log - thank you very much for starting this and we are all looking forward to your progress once she arrives!

 

[Kurt Konrath]

In the beginning was the build log, then comes the kit and the fun of assembly and posting photos.

Eric,
You must be happy with the Bluenose. Time enough to ring.

Glad the ship came in on the tide as promised!

Now to set sail on the work of assembly and posting.

 

[Heinrich]

Wonderful news Eric! Yours was also a rocket! I'm glad she made it before New Year! Now, let's start building!

 

[Brewbrarian]

Alright, let's do this!

 

[Brewbrarian]

Leaving the char to show the seams on the keel scarphs and deadwood.

 

[Heinrich]

Great stuff Eric. I see you also have your obligatory cup of coffee standing ready! The keel assembly looks SO neat - you will really building her!

 

[Brewbrarian]

Keel fully assembled. Parts fit like a glove so far. May need to take the bearding line down a bit further tomorrow.

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Is that coffee or jet fuel in cup? He is running full throttle open!

 

[Heinrich]

Hi Eric. Yes - that beveling on Part #18 has to be quite a bit more. Where it joins the rest of the keel (at the bottom) you want it as thin as possible.

 

[Brewbrarian]

Just a brief start on frames...

 

[Heinrich]

Good to see that you have started on the frames!

 

[Brewbrarian]

I think I may need more clamps...

 

[Brewbrarian]

Only 42 more to go.....

 

[Jimsky]

Nice and steady progress, Eric! Happy New Year!!! Is that a photo illusion of frames not aligned to a centerline?

Theye just roughed in, sitting light in the jig. Should align with the keel when the time comes. At least I hope so.

Oh...yes, They will be aligned later when inserting in the rising wood in the keel.
