Krister, just like Sweden we are having a huge winter storm in the U.S. Strong artic blast affecting 26 states. Below freezing temps in South Texas! Magic Mike
Woops, might be even worse than here then, even though there has been alerts on the news for three days now, asking people to stay off the roads if they don't really need to be there. I'm lucky though, seems like the worst of the storm passed a bit north of me, but we still got 10-15 cm snow today. Got outside, but my wonderful neighbour helped me to remove most of the snow. I have some problems shoveling snow when limping on my phrostethic leg, especially when the snow is wet like today.
Started a little with test mounting the parts for the stern gallery, feeling like two hands is not enough for this kind of work 
Norske Løve update: Finally back from 1½ month of work down in Poland, but just home for a week or so, then back again. Anyhow, now continuing to prepare the window frames for the stern gallery.
Norske Løve update: Haven't really got the time for this, lots of other things to do at the moment, but slowly moving forward. Still testing a little with the wíndow frames for the stern gallery and I think I will go for this, not too bad if you ask me.
Norske Løve Easter update:
So, back again at the workshop after another good month of work down in Poland. Still working on the stern gallery, slowly adjusting the pieces one by one, to make them all fit together. I now realize that my first estimation for two years of building this ship will be exceeded, too much to do outside the shipyard

Hi all, back to Sweden again for 1½ week, and hopefully some small work on the Norske Løve will be done. In the meantime, Billing Boats is running a campaign this month with 20% off on all kits, so I ordered two of them, and they were waiting for me at the post office when I came home. Now I most certainly will be occupied for quite som time. There will be bulid logs from these two as well, have some ideas about modifications in Vasa
Krister, welcome back and I look forward to seeing more of the two new models! Magic Mike
Thank's Mike, back home in Sweden to celebrate Midsummer, but going back to Poland in about 1½ week and hopefully my work down there will be finished in July. I sure miss my workshop/shipyard and I like to get at least some continuity in my this work
Over the Years -the time where there were NO LASER CUT .about 1965 until I for varius trobles -space, helth -you name -I stopped buildeng, but in my building time build 3, resored another 3 and given help to builders hereand the Buillingb boatss side in Facebook.

It is good to hear from you. you were missed!
Norske Løve update: So, finally back to the workshop/shipyard, my work down in Poland has reached an end and now I'll try to catch up with some lost time. Started with attaching the gangways on both sides.
Norske Løve update. I've had some difficulties finding time for shipbuilding, lots of things to do around the house, both inside and outside. Now is seems like time is coming though, together with falls, for proceeding with my ship. Last time I found out that the lower wales had ended up in the wrong position at the stem, so I had to remove them and start all over and now I'm slowly moving forward again
