Back at it again. Finished one ship today now starting on another one. This time I'm doing the independence by Artesania Latina. I have the bulkheads glued a dnd set on the false keel. Wood wise I am very pleased with the wood. I really like the all the African walnut is solid wood instead of plywood. As you can see here I love using the legos to keep my right angles tomorrow I'll add more glue where the bulkheads and false keel meet. 20220403_203707.jpg20220403_203901.jpg20220403_231419.jpg20220403_231253.jpg20220403_231301.jpg20220403_231306.jpg20220403_231326.jpg20220403_231331.jpg
 
I am very happy, that you started this building log - I will follow with interest
 
Quick update. Was able to take the legos of today. Mounted the deck at the bow and the poopdeck, painted the areas you can see through the gratings to the lower levels. Even planked the lower levels even though the directions didnt call for it. Might throw some barrels and or some boxes down there for shits and giggles later on. Halfway done planking one of the main decks now, but calling it a night. 20220404_223937.jpg20220404_235930.jpg20220404_235936.jpg
 
Well today finished plugging all the nail holes and then after getting back from the gym I trimmed all the toothpicks and sanded flush. Stained with Danish oil and put a coat of polyurethane on it. Had some extra barrels laying around so added them to the second decks below the gratings. And made some wooden crates. 20220407_005115.jpg20220407_005121.jpg20220407_005125.jpg20220407_005129.jpg20220407_005200.jpg20220407_005225.jpg20220407_005232.jpg20220407_012345.jpg

Good morning Derek- another log to follow for sure- I enjoy your shipbuilding. I think you are an addict ROTF. Shipbuilding anonymous is required;). Seriously tho, I will follow this build with interest. Cheers Grant

Yeah you could say that I'm a glutton for punishment when it. Comes to ships. Finished one and right into another
 
Glutton for punishment when you are maxing out the olympic bar...
Lol I wish I was able to do that dock. But good thing is that being a deadlift bar its supposed to have some forgiveness to it. That's what kind of bar we use in competition. So why not practice how you play.
