Hello Heinrich My Friend, I thank you very much for your visit to my YQ-Bluenose build log. Also for your very kind words and nice comments. Yes it is nice to be back working a bit in my Old Ship Yard, I got to keep pushing the little fellows but they are slowly coming coming around after there long vacation. We have been working on the lower fore mast and it is almost complete, onward and up ward.
Your real wooden mast hoops from these shavings looks great, Lawrence. Very inventive.
Hello Johan, I thank you very much for your very kind words. Yes I believe the wooden mast hoops did turn out ok.Beautifully crafted masthoops.
Hello Peter, I thank you for your very kind words and nice comments. Yes I was aware of of these Crosstrees end Braces or Struts and was thinking of adding them to my YQ-Bluenose. Looking in my The American Fishing Schooner book there are a number of ways this can be added depending on the year the schooner was built. I do like the ones in your picture though.Your real wooden mast hoops from these shavings looks great, Lawrence. Very inventive.
Also for you a PS, as a wrote by Daniel: Don’t forget the 2 small rods at the back side ends of the small spreader bar, going in a curve to halfway the front spreader bar. The prevent running lines or pieces of sail to become tangled between those spreader bars.

It’s all about the details ………

Hello Peter, Funny you should notice Daniel's and my picture being so close, I will have to have a look at Daniels's build log, from his picture it looks like we have a lot in common, Thanks.When I was adding my post a few minutes ago, I got a bit confused: am I adding it to the correct build-log?
I saw a picture of two masts with the YQ-drawings on the background. But a big aha ........ both almost at the same level/height:

Or have I got them mixed up...
PS for the admin's: It looks like a double-post, but it isn't ........

Hello Daniel, Welcome aboard, we are always pleased to have a new crew member on board. Yes Peter has produced some very fine work on his YQ-Bluenose. His skills are beyond me and my humble skills but then again I do try. Bluenose is very special to me as my Great Grand Father was a skipper on one of these fishing schooners in the early 1900ths. I will surely check in on your YQ-Bluenose, as pointed out by Peter our pictures are very much the same be chance, as I have not seen you picture before Peter pointed it out.
Thats great family history. My grandfather and grandmother went fishing in Canada every year on Perrault Lake out of Gold Arrow camp in Ontario.
Hello Lawrence,
Hello Johan, I thought I seen this some where, but for now I fail to find it, just maybe I made a Boo-Boo. It so I will live with it.
Hello Peter, Yes the cross trees look a lot more complete now, Thanks.I am glad it’s not a re-do but a quick ad-on.
Regards, Peter
That sounds too oddly familiar...
Hello Johan, Seams that I could not live with my Bo-Bo so I got the little fellows and I together and we corrected those 4 bands and block rings from the fore mast, Thanks.That sounds too oddly familiar...
Looks good, Lawrence, no spare block in the fore mast.
Hello Johan, Yes you are so correct, I thought that I could live with this little BO-BO, but it irked me so much that it had to go.
