Wow Paul, i had to catch up ( again ), but absolutely great work, on you treenailing, but those rudder hinges are truly stunning work
You are very kind Peter. My thanks!Wow Paul, i had to catch up ( again ), but absolutely great work, on you treenailing, but those rudder hinges are truly stunning work
I have to say it looks superb looking at the result from my part of the world.I can't wait until I can see clearly again to learn how it all turned out.
Oh Paul it is very concerning to hear about your eye. I hope it is contained and resolves without any deficit.Hello Friends,
I've been having a problem with one of my eyes (retinal bleed) and I went in today for some treatment and now I can hardly see at all (temporary). Of course that means I can't work on my ship.
But I couldn't sleep last night (anxious about my procedure) so I ended up in the Kattner Shipyard installing gudgeons and the rudder before my eye appointment. Here is the result (all accomplished with only one functioning eye ).

I wouldn't be much worried about the ship... what about the kids who are waiting for the braces?!?I've been having a problem with one of my eyes (retinal bleed) and I went in today for some treatment and now I can hardly see at all (temporary). Of course that means I can't work on my ship.
Hey! 'One Eye Doc" Wishing you a speedy recovery. Aslo excellent work using one eye only. However, judging by the above pictures, I note you marked all the spots that your other eye could see. ---- get well quickly, Cheers.Hello Friends,

Hopefully the surgery will solve the problem, Paul. And you will have a quick recovery.Thanks for your concern guys! The retinal specialist's daughter is my patient so I trust I received his best effort during my surgery this morning . If not, I have a spare...
It will likely be a few months before everything is settled. But I've been working with only one eye for almost two weeks now so I expect to continue in that same way.
I found another picture that I never posted (hawse hole lining with lead):

Good morning Paul. All that beautiful work just to be hidden. I’m not resurrecting old discussions however if was me I would make some plan to see this- it’s too good not to. I’m still thinking you should do a “Uwek” and cut her in half. Anyway stunning work as alway Paul. Cheers GrantGosh, I don't know Gilbert. I did them over several months rather than all at once. I can tell you that the human brain (and back) can only take treenailing for so long before you need to work on something else. In the middle of the installation process it all seemed hopeless (and foolish) - but looking back I guess I do like the overall appearance and sense of accomplishment.
