Thank you, Jan - BUT ... I think you will be hard-pressed. I jokingly said to her that I think my next build should be the Santa Ana (finally giving these Victory guys a dose of their own medicine!
) and even showed her some pictures. That, however, did not work out. She gave one look at the pics and said: "I only love THIS ship!"
Thank you, my friend. You make me a happy man when you say that, because "crisp" and "clean" were exactly the objectives we were aiming for.
Aha, the “Look”, I think we all get that on occasion. Rachel is very good at it.Thank you, Jan - BUT ... I think you will be hard-pressed. I jokingly said to her that I think my next build should be the Santa Ana (finally giving these Victory guys a dose of their own medicine!

Oh yes ... and I got told not to distract her with "unimportant" things while she's busy with the "ropes"!
Good afternoon Heinrich. Looking fantastic. Wow, Anna is a very neat”rigger”.

Hello my friend! Yes, and yes on both statements! She knows me so well that "boere-psychology" has no effect on her!Good afternoon Heinrich. Looking fantastic. Wow, Anna is a very neat”rigger”.

Good to hear Heinrich!
Very neat and tidy indeed
Thank you, Mark. The challenge now is to keep this going for the whole duration of the rigging.Very neat and tidy indeed
Thank you so much, Richie. I am not sure how much income this side-business will generate - it is hard on the assistant!Looking good Heinrich, great work.
I see you have a new side business, Admiral for hire.
Happy New Year to you and your family as well, Dean! Thank you for the kind words, they are much appreciated!
Thank you very much for the kind words, Peter. I love working with wood but differ from most builders out there in that I don't use any power tools (except an electric drill and a plank bender). My project selection is therefore very important as anything that requires milling, sawing, or turning out parts on a lathe, becomes a real challenge. My X-Acto knife and my files are my go-to tools!Hi Heinrich,
You are always give credits to other builders, but man, you can build as well. This is clean, sharp and nicely detailed build. Lines look sharp as well. Lovely threat to follow as well.....
