yes, it is two different and distinct languages with their own alphabets.
Cutwater pieces are glued together and waiting on their turn on the scroll saw. Boat is carrying precious cargo.
Fives loaves, two fish, five Hershey minis...
I wonder if we could come up with 12 baskets of leftover minis. That would be a miracle indeed!
Cutwater, false keel, mast done. 
Is that better, Paul?
Tholes, gunnels, and mast cleat added. Tried using treenails on thole bases with only moderate success. 
Filing a groove in the oar blade so it will fit the oar pole.
Rudders await sanding.

That’s what my chemistry teacher used to call me a long time ago, except there was no “i” on the end of the word

Roger, the picture over your signature block shows a boat. Do you have a build log of it? If you built it, you know what I'm going through.That’s what my chemistry teacher used to call me a long time ago, except there was no “i” on the end of the word

The teacher was saying that he was dim-witted. His lightbulb wasn’t very bright. But Dima means something entirely different in Ukrainian, I think. Because you’re pretty bright, Jimsky. Roger must be also. I’ve seen examples of his intricate work in this forum.How does the Dim become a Roger?
Good morning Vic. Brilliant progress. This is another wonderful gift you are making. I see those bottles of Gorilla CA glue. I don’t know if my gel Gorilla CA is just old but it doesn’t seem to set quickly? I have to hold it for like 2min or more? Is this normal? Cheers Grant
Hi Vic, yes I built the dory but no build log I’m sorry to say. However, I submitted some photos of the finished model back in 2021. Link is below in my signature “Bluejacket Grand Banks Dory”.
You are doing a wonderful job of your Galilee boat, it’s very impressive. I’m enjoying following your progress.
I use it for bigger things, but I also have to use helps like clamps, tape, pins, etc. Once it sets, it seems to do pretty well. The thin glue seems to dissipate or soak in too quickly on some applications. Then it won't work very well. I guess I just use whatever I feel like at the moment, or what seems appropriate. I'm not sure hw to explain it other than that.
I'm really appreciating the work that goes into small boats more and more. I love your dory. Lots of love went into it. I'm finding that building for someone else gives a certain depth to what you are doing. It's sharing your skills and creativity with others, and it makes you want to do your best.
This is a picture of a mosaic at Migdol (Tower or fortress) near the Sea of Galilee. It looks like it has only one yard instead of the two yard version of the Egyptians, with an upper and a lower yard. It closely resembles this boat and has a square sail instead of a lateen. That's what I'm planning for this model.
