I will. And thank you for your assistance in me getting this kit. I just had a first look at the plans and materials. Absolutely phenomenal.
 
I've been following Paul Lester's Bluenose build on YouTube. He is using cut down melamine blocks to clamp the hull frames during glueing. I'm building off the top of an old kitchen table. I can't afford to go out and purchase plates of glass just to glue the keel. Would lining the table top with wax paper or plastic wrap be sufficient without causing me problems later.

It’s good to follow another builder. Here’s Paul build-log with also his video’s and some other information in between:

And Another Bluenose

At least it will be once I get it. I am in the final stages of building the Amati Mayflower ( https://www.youtube.com/channel ) and have been promising myself and my subscribers the Bluenose for quite some time. I have only just joined this forum, but loving it so far. I have looked through a...

Thanks wilco
 
For building the keel and frames, I suggest that you might check Walmart or Hobby Lobby for some medium size photo frames for affordable cost, and use the glass from them, but be careful as it is usually thinner glass than what a glass shop would sell you.

That's an excellent idea. I'm going to call a local glass shop today for used glass. If that doesn't work I'll go to Walmart or Amazon
 
I've decided to take a step back. Rather than rush the finish of my Virginia Swift model to start the Bluenose I'm going to preserve and try to upgrade my skill set. Meanwhile I m acquiring the supplemental tools and supplies to get started properly.

If you have a Hobby Lobby or other hobby craft store nearby, then look in jewelry department at tools, they have specialty pliers designed to help make rings and loops. In the 5-10 a piece range.
