Oh my gosh if I never glue another frame together I will live the rest of my life in bliss. At least until I get the bug to build another POF. But I did it. I managed to get to the end. Now I can flip the hull over and start working on the rest. This took way longer than I ever imagined but I’m pleased with the results of course the delay was all my fault.

Much nicer than mine. I tore mine apart twice and still didn't get these results.
Best regards

As much as I would like to finish the build I’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and even when I started I had fairly severe tremors. I finally went to the doctor when simple tasks were becoming difficult.

Unfortunately the medication reduces them but it’s not enough to do this type of activity.

That's too bad, Rodney, for more than one reason...
I hope the medication reduces your tremors sufficiently to at least perform normal daily routines.

While we were in Lunenburg I definitely had to make a stop at the Blunose store. Hats, t-shirts, key wrings, anything you could put an image of the ship on was for sale. I couldn’t leave without buying something even though I doubt I’ll ever finish. So I bought a sweatshirt to show my Bluenose pride. Yes it was overpriced but I figured I’d never make it back.

That store could probably make a fortune if the website link was online here.
Hope your doing well.

I have a problem.
I chucked up the masts in my drill and used sandpaper to grind the mast down to size. MyIMG20241015043509.jpg
I used 60 grit to start with and it left scratch marks when I stained. Now if I sand these out the mast will be too small.
Any recommendations?
Best regards

The only thing to it is to sand the masts with ever increasing finer sandpaper, starting at 120 and possibly ending at 600.

I'm sorry I put this in the wrong build log.
I really messed this up. If I sand more the masts will be smaller. Would this thinning be noticable.
