This is my first "major" build in wood. I've built the Model Shipways 18th Century Longboat and the Taurus Tugboat. Both got me acclimated to working in wood - had always been used to working in plastic. So the Beagle will definitely challenge these old fingers and eyes but I am looking forward to the build.
The work below was completed back in January. I only work on her while I'm at our second home in VA and, for various health reasons, we've had to remain in Philadelphia for over 4 months now. Looking forward to getting back to the build after Memorial Day.
I've got the skeleton done and the main deck for now. Next will be the foredeck to try my hand at joggling the planks. I'm going to try to follow along the Anatomy of the Ship for details as much as my abilities will allow. See you in a few weeks!
