Thank you Peter!
Good evening Dean. Your woodworking is so neat and perfect. She looks awesome already. Cheers Grant
Thanks Grant!
Maybe slow but definitely gorgeous!
Thank you Daniel. Looking forward to getting some paint and stain on soon.
Thank you Pter. It’s not perfect, but it is going well so far.
10 more boards to go on the port hull. Started final sanding on the starboard side. See a little spot of black paint on the transom, but it’s going to be painted black…so I’m not going to worry about it.
I hope to finish this week, will see.
Thank you Heinrich! The hull is about 32” long, and the frames are 8” wide! She’s a big boned girl!
It will be a lot of sanding! And painting. But soon afterwards I can start locating the wales and cannon ports, then she will start taking shape. I can’t wait to do the railings with the scrolls.
So I am starting to look forward to upcoming tasks!

....and on page 64 and still busy planking the hull....
Ha! I walk in the shadow of Heinrich in this regard...I am trying to break the @dockattner record!

So true! I had forgotten I need to compose a 100 page historical document on my vessel! That should chew up a couple hundred pages!Ha! I walk in the shadow of Heinrich in this regard...
My granddaughter wanted to help me touch up the white paint on the hull.

A pic to show the size. She said it was heavy!
Lovely photo, mia amigo. Hope you have time to explain to her NOT to try testing a new pull and how this hull will float (while you are away from home)

AAAhhh! But to do that, the ship that you build has to be steeped in controversy and mystery! They don't come any more mysterious or controversial than the WB!So true! I had forgotten I need to compose a 100 page historical document on my vessel! That should chew up a couple hundred pages!
