[Jimsky]

Sorry for 'Off Top'
Gentlemen, please be advised and keep all payment conversations via PM or personal emails. Thank you for understanding.

 

[Heinrich]

@Jimsky No problem. I just couldn't access Don's PM this morning.

 

[WarrLight]

Am a little late joining the party @Heinrich but loved reading up on your build from the beginning. The tung oil and pear wood make a fabulous combination. Very elegant and silky. Stay safe my friend.

 

[Heinrich]

@WarrLight Thank you Reggie, my friend. Unfortunately, Bluenose has now caused everything to come to an abrupt halt. I am still trying to do a little work on the Haarlem, but the Leudo will have to take a backseat until some form of normality (what is that? ) has been restored!

 

[donfarr]

HOORAY FOR ABNORMALITY, MORE, MORE DEAR FRIEND. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON

 

[Heinrich]

@donfarr Just you wait, Don ! The next kit is already in the drawing stages!

 

[TechTrek]

That is quite the nice little build you have going here. Nice to see Anna. Love the tung oil finish.

 

[Heinrich]

Thank you Chris. It does make a pretty picture.

[Heinrich]

Hi Don

Great to hear from you - please "hijack" the log as much as you want to! The Leudo has to wait in queue now, while work on the Haarlem continues. And after that it is Bluenose's turn.

Yes Don, you are supposed to glue to the ends/tips of those little ribs to the bulkheads in the jig. I used a drop of CA glue and then applied heat to the ends to secure them properly. Yours look good - well done!



That's a mean-looking helmsman you have in the background!

 

[donfarr]

SOMEONE WANTS ME TO LEAVE YOU A MESSAGE HE SAID FINISH THE LEUDO AND HA, HA, HA, GUESS WHO. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND ANNA DON
