These details are really down to one's preferences. For a long time I've been alternating between brass or wooden trennels. Ended up with wood.

Hello Johan, I do agree very much with you, This is what makes our YQ-Bluenose just a little bit special with no two exactly alike.
Regards Lawrence
 
Hello Ship Mates, Well the little fellows and I have finally completed installing all of those simulated brass bolts in our YQ-Bluenose. We have gone over the frames and keel checking for a nice fit. We have also gone over our building jig. And finally we have glued in frames #2 & 49 and also the ships keel. I though that we would never get there, but there they are.

Hello Heinrich, I thank you very much for your very kind words and nice comments. Yes this has been a long time coming but I am finally here. The little fellows and I have installed frame # 3, so our cathedral is slowly growing, feels great to have reached this mile stone.
Regards Lawrence

Great progress, Lawrence. So jealous; still twenty frames to go, 9 awaiting trennels and 11 laying still, waiting to be processed...

Hello Johan, Golly, but you are not that far behind me. With your great speed you will be ahead of me in a week or so. This trennels sure dose seam to slow one down as it is over and over again, but the end is in sight.

Hello Dean, I thank you for your very kind words. Yes installing the frames seams easy compared to all of those simulated brass bolts. So we will just take our time and enjoy this great YQ-Bluenose build.

Hey Lawrence, I think you've mistaken me with Piero (@The Sailor), he's the one flying through the build like it's nothing...
Kind regards, Johan

Hey guys,
my YQ Bluenose is still recovering from her disease ... Now I am finishing the simple 19" Canoe realization (see my builg log), and I hope that this week SHE (BN of course) will be available again to be .... handled!

See you soon!

Good morning Piero, good to hear the lady is recovering from her "period". Awaiting your next post on her with interest.
But, you don't "handle" a lady, you "treat" her and you treat her right. ;)

Hello Piero, It is nice to hear that you are back on course and that you will again return to your YQ- Bluenose, sad to make her wait so long. Congratulations on the completion of your 19' canoe. I have been a canoeist for around 70 years now. Bought a Sawyer222, a 18'.6" a Superlight Kevlar canoe back in the mid 1980s that I just loved. A friend of mine from South Carolina says that my canoe would float on dew, where his aluminum canoe would hang up and drag the bottom. To old to use it much any more but still admire it hanging in our garage.
Regards Lawrence

Hello Peter, I thank you for your kind words and nice comments. Yes it is nice to see her starting to grow instead of a pile of frames and lots of char and saw dust, installed the 10ths frame last night and will continue this AM after I prepare and clean up our breakfast.

It's nice to still hear someone getting aroused at a certain age when something is said or written that immediately recalls times gone by ...

Lawrence, show us your canoe even if it is now hanging by a hook ...
