I guess you told your kids a gazillion times: "Finish what you started, before starting something new." Applies to you as well...The rigging at the moment has become “not super fun” so I want Christmas to come so I can open my present.
Make your New Year’s resolution the promise not to open your Christmas present until you have completed Bounty, otherwise you will lose your motivation to continue and disappoint your son. Ask me how I knowGood afternoon Johan. Can you believe it is Christmas again….Thanks for the encouragement with my Bounty project. Always appreciated .

Good morning. Whew…..the temptation is too much. I already snuck down this morning and opened the box to have a look at what is inside. My daughter (Ashtyn) caught me red handed and: “you can’t open the presents until Christmas “ reprimanded me.Make your New Year’s resolution the promise not to open your Christmas present until you have completed Bounty, otherwise you will lose your motivation to continue and disappoint your son.

On a serious note - I will finish off my Bounty for Justin before construction begins on my new toy. Your advice is gratefully accepted. Have a magic Christmas on Wednesday. Cheers Grant
Ihello Grant, it is very understandable that you have already taken a sneak peek in the box. I too could not have held back.
I wish you a Merry Christmas.

You will hear that for many days/weeks/months/years ……
…… In my house I have to self gift such Xmas presents….…. I am also told if it is not wrapped it has to be removed from under the tree……there is bias and prejudice in the Tyler household
And there, in his own written hand, is the pathetic excuse for opening an unwrapped gift. Shame on you Tyler

Good morning. My last post before Christmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. Have an amazing celebration with your family and friends.
All WIP so pretty unsightly however I continue my quest…..hmmm!
Mainmast pendants, shrouds, stay threaders and jeerblock lashings:
MORE WIP:
Made the trestle tree for the top and gallant masts - scratch building this was way harder than I thought. Cleaned up the old bowsprit, and masts ( as unpleasant job trying to get all that orange off) and a first coat oak stain.) I am playing with the yards. I will paint these black as I am over sanding and restoring those orange dowels:
Oh- I served the main stay and mouse and a shroud fro the forestay.
Once again Merry Christmas:
Cheers Grant

Enjoy the day with your family
WOW! Grant, don't know how I've missed this awesome refurbishment of yours. I'm so glad I found it though, what a fantastic job. And you now have a new CAF Enterprise POF! Outstanding my friend, I will be on guard for the final of your HMAV Bounty and looking for your new adventure with the Enterprise. Happy New Year.
