Ah yes, beautiful clean work with every detail attended to. I'll be your wingman any day!

Oh, the kitten has to go, I'm allergic...

The kitten? I sent my wife your details, she will be in touch.

You are a good builder Jack, it will turn out great.

Carronades cont./

These past few days I have oiled my pear deck and some of the deck fittings. The companionway ladder is in position to the lower hold. There’s a couple of doors to be fitted later on. Other small things added or completed and not shown.

I added a couple of ball thingies at the ends of each of the carronade elevation screw handles. I mentioned I was pre-rigging the carronades but I am finding the easiest way, for me, is to attend to the breech ropes first. The carronades, with breechings, are now secured in position on the port side only, stb’d side next. Once the carronades are done I’ll start adding the deck fixtures and fittings.

Doesn’t look like much progress but she’s coming along. A new kitten in the house so model time has stood still recently.

Some photos as a small update. Thanks for following along.

Good morning Roger. Wow first class. The pear wood deck is a marvel now you have oiled it- stunning colour. I was going to say keep kitty away from the doc but he beat me to it. . Cheers Grant

Thanks and good morning Grant, i really like using pear wood and I’m happy with the varied colour of those deck planks.
