Hello Grant. The littlest lifeboat is just ultimately too small to make something special of, so that is what it is. With the second practice build of the larger one, I am happier, but when it comes to the real one, I will have to up my game considerably.Good morning Heinrich. That is good work.....and you can build my lifeboats if you like

Noodles and rice and then the admiral managed to have a pizza delivered to me just after I posted my message. Now I feel really guilty complaining about not having much of a menu!
That's good! With only rice you would get beriberi - the eastern version of scheurbuikNoodles and rice and then the admiral managed to have a pizza delivered to me just after I posted my message. Now I feel really guilty complaining about not having much of a menu!

And worst is Hans, that I am not much of a fruit and vegetable man in any case. There is the old South African tale, of the farmer who had meat for breakfast, meat for lunch and meat for supper. When asked if he never eats vegetables, he replied: "What do you think is chicken?"
Hmmm.. Do they have to be consumed in pairs?
Very informative book - if you can get it - buy it!

Hello Dear Friends
Among all the cuisine, the Lincoln Park Shipyard was a hive of activity today. With all classes cancelled, I had a whole day to spend in the shipyard - building, and while the glue was drying, researching.
Today I wanted to continue with the galleon part of the Willem Barentsz. It is better to illustrate the sequence of events on the plans than by means of photographs.
First three crossbeams (marked in red) were glued onto the beakhead base at intervals as specified by the plans. These consisted of 2mm x 3mm walnut strips.
On top of the newly-laid crossbeams, are then glued four of the same 2mm x 3mm walnut strips so that their feet rest on the crossbeams, while their outer edges are glued to the inner edge of the two side railings that were already placed last night. The two uprights closest to the stem do not require a crossbeam, as the taper of the beakhead allows them to be glued directly on the base of the beakhead.
When that is done the floor is then laid consisting of four 2mm x 2mm walnut strips which are glued lengthwise into the positions as shown on the plans.
And what then was all done, this was what I had ended up with:
All the protrusions will be sawed / filed / sanded nice and flush tomorrow, but I always allow the glue a full 24-hours to dry before I do that. What I found most interesting, was that I could cut the floor beams on the plan and then they would then slot perfectly into their predetermined positions. This indicates that I have built this portion of the ship exactly as per the plans. That will be a first and a last for me!
I am really very happy with what I could accomplish today as far as the build goes. However, looking at these macro close-ups, there is still an awful lot of overall cleaning up and finishing-off in general that needs to be done.
As a matter of interest and just for comparison, I have placed the little boat on the Kolderstok plans - no problem with fitting into its rightful place!
For the research part of today, stay tuned ...

That document will raise a few eyebrows ...
I think I've worn out the pages on my copy.
