Paul, I find the high level of precision and workmanship by you and other members compared to mine to be rather intimidating so at times I meekly click 'Like' or view in amazement but seldom comment because most of what is said and done goes straight over my head. Believe me there is a group of members I follow with great enthusiasm. Cheers.

A beautiful couple of days allowed me to make full use of the Kattner Sanding Center (my back patio) and wrap up the fairing of the Kingfisher hull. I wish I could report that experience makes sanding go faster - but it turns out that it takes the amount of time that it takes...

I am rather satisfied with the result. Boxwood is dense enough to give sharp edges and leaves a nice smooth surface (though every time I look at the hull I find places that need more sanding :rolleyes:).

The view the fish and mermaids see:

The frames joining the deadwood and rabbet (I see in these images I have some places I could add some filler):

I wish I knew how to take better depth of field images that capture the nice lines on a swan class ship...but these will have to do:

If you're keeping score at home that's just short of nine months to get to this point.

Paul, This wouldn’t look out of place hanging from the ceiling of the Cistine Chapel. Ken
 
Paul, no point in me commenting in the superb quality of your wood work as others have said it better than I ever could. I would just say that if ever you needed another career then photography is the way to go, your photographs more than enhance your great building. It is easy to see why you are so successful, you would be first pick on my team any day.

Cheers JJ..

Perhaps I should pick him as an opponent. It might raise my game.
