Hello everyone,

I’ve finished the roof for the hurricane house. Next I have the exterior walls to do. The exterior walls will have several windows that will need to be included.

Hi Bill, I do appreciate your attention to detail. Bravo!

 

[Bill-R]

Paul - Thanks for your encouraging words. I find building slowly works best for me. It keeps the do-overs to a minimum.

Thanks Dean for the likes.

Hi Bill, I was reading through your log this morning and agree with other comments, very nice, clean, skilled work.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for the comments and likes.

This is my third ship made from basswood mainly. I have found that it is very difficult to make basswood look good from close up. Fortunately, most of the Morgan is painted. The deck planking is natural, but it will be mostly be covered by furniture and equipment.

Hello everyone,

I have gotten the filler blocks for the bow and stern installed and shaped. The transom frames are in and at the correct angle. The outer transom frames lean back to match the transom and they also lean in to match the angle of the hull. I have also gotten the waterways installed. It's not real clear as to the instillation of the waterways and the planksheer. I was looking at some other builds and saw some builders installed the waterways first and then the planksheer, while others did it just the opposite. It doesn't show it on the plans, but the the waterways are faired at about a 45deg to just above the height of the deck planks.

Thanks Peter. Now I’m working to get the windows built into the exterior walls.

Hello everyone,

Looks pretty challenging, Bill. Good luck!

 

[Bill-R]

Thanks Paul. It hasn’t been too hard. I’m getting better at making small pieces. I usually only have two do overs.
