Thanks Brian,
She is currently sitting in a bedroom while I remodel the basement. I hope to finish the remodel before Christmas.

Thanks Bob,
I am currently posting a cross section of the USS Pennsylvania (1837) in this forum, it is an interesting little project.

Excellent work Mike. Someday I hope to scratchbuild an entire ship as you have. Looking forward to your next one.
 
Thanks Mike,
I started building kits the Bluenose was my first and gradually worked my way into scratch building. If you read a few build logs you will be able to get into it, it just takes time and patience.

I use a gantry style building jig (I could post the plans and instructions under the Tools, Lathes, Mills, Jigs and Techniques Section if there is any interest,) and the following photos show the keel being squared in the jig.
