  1. What incredible photography and pieces of art you have on display here Jack. I am truly in awe!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!
  2. Hi Daryl, I for one would be grateful for any report on problems, challenges and hiccups (as well as good news too). Not only is it interesting of course but also so helpful for us learners as a tool on things to watch out for in your kit and others. But also to know we are not alone when we discover theses things for ourself. And happy birthday to your nephew too
  3. Congrats on your new birthday haha But seriously, I can't wait to see what someone of your skills can make with such fine tools and equipment!!
  4. Your other pastimes sound wonderful but I am glad you still got to your canon rigging as it looks just as good as the rest of your build!
  5. That really does look so good Steve with every join just perfect, but the colour choices really work so well too! When your book of mistakes to avoid next time goes into publication I will buy the first copy haha
  6. It is wonderful to read that you had a great holiday but welcome back! And I do agree, your work really does look so great!
  7. Big congratulations to Hothead Nenad! You must be so proud (and rightly so). And I do love your "mud" method on your decks. They look so very good!
  8. Hi again! And sorry for the slow reply (I have been away). I fully understand and agree with being picky and redoing the bits we aren't happy with, particularly as we are so new at this and learning so much as we go! I am glad I found your log so we can compare and maybe inspire each other as we go? In answer to your question though, my plan for my own Suprise is towards the Historical version as much as possible with my skills and I would be incredibly grateful for any suggestions, pointers, or information you have found yourself but please, please don't feel obliged! Apart from the challenges of building ships, I am learning there is so much confusing, differing and opposing information about the ships we build. Still, that makes it fun too haha. I forgive you for supporting the wrong team, but you definitely get bonus points for being a Baseball fan! (The Sunday Night game on ESPN is playing live now and Tanaka is on the mound!) Thank you again for your kind words and sorry again for the slow reply, but I am back now haha
  9. Ohhhh thank you for the big tip Brett! As a new builder I didn't even think about how wood would expand when wet and then shrink back as it dries. Without your post, I would have found out the very hard way later on. Thank you again!
  10. Every ship should have her own mysteries! So please do not call it a mistake (it looks too good), and just call it a a cunning plan to give your Royal Louis her own special touch!
  11. I don't know what makes me happier Vivian. Seeing you back online or seeing your work. Both are very special!
  12. I am glad you survived the Margin Planking Eamonn and I hope your nerves have recovered and the shaking has stopped haha. I think 93% is under rating them though
  13. One of the good things about being offline a few days is that I get to come back and catch up on all the logs of different ships, and different builders. The REALLY good thing about that is it allows me to truly appreciate it when I see the photos of the genuine Master Builders and you are most certainly one of those Denis. Your Sovereign of the Seas looks just incredible! (And I love the pictures/maps on the walls behind too haha)
  14. A busy work surface means you MUST be having fun! Fantastic work on the rudder and tiller! That really looks just perfect. However, I am a bit cranky with you as after reading through your last couple of posts and seeing how good they really are, I now have to go and buy a bunch of Chuck Passaro's cannons haha
  15. Hi JesseLee, I can't be any help with your question about the deadeyes and chain plates sorry, but I can say I have seen some logs where they were made out of wire instead of thread and they sure turned out great. Whatever you decide, I am pretty sure with your skills it will come out great! Good Luck!
  16. Hi Jack, I am so happy to read that your right hand is feeling better, and I can see it is working just fine too! What great (and clever) work on the mast foot. I really do prefer your version to the first one!
  17. I have no idea at all what is right and wrong about where and how to stow the boat, but I am absolutely positive it looks fantastic!
  18. Happy Birthday Nenad! May your cables be straight and hidden, your tables clean and tidy, your tools unbroken and in their place, and you get spoiled rotten with all the wishes and gifts you want (or you deserve, whichever is higher haha)
  19. King Sjors has a really nice ring to it !! Congrats on your new toy!
