Great vids as always Kevin. I’m wondering if a wire gauge would work as a draw plate ? Maybe countersink the holes on one side to make it sharp.

Ken I suppose you could dye them.

Much appreciate the videos which provide not only build precision to detailed plans but technics and processes to utilize in my building projects. Thumbs up!
Warmest Regards,

I have been asked to start a build log and have agreed . The first 35 videos are located in Vimeo, the rest are located on both Vimeo and YouTube.
Vimeo log starts with the first in the series

YouTube starts at video #34

The current build is # 74

The video log records my journey and includes all the mistakes i have made along the way. I am no expert so there are many mistakes for which i make no apology. My decision to make these videos is to share my journey and experience. Recently i came across a video by a great craftman who said “ when you die you do take something with you, your life long experience’. David and Greg have produced one of the best wooden model ship practium i came across. I only wish i had found them earlier in my modeling career. Now its my term to share.

I hope you find this log uaeful.
