  1. I marked out all the plank lines on all the moulds like this: The patterns come pretty close but I had to kind of average the widths out a bit to see what fits and looks right. So not all fall right on their lines. No one will ever know as long as one plank is not too wide, and the one next to it too narrow.
  2. Looking like a good start Alde. Maybe you can inspire me to start mine up again soon.
  3. Hey Alde My pinky has sat for a long time now. Not much has been done in well over a year, and the hull still sits with just those few planks on. I haven't been on the forum for a while. Now that I see you are gettting your pinky started maybe that with get me going again. My time has been occupied with another 1:1 build, and it is done and sails and rows well - all this past summer - but now I'm building a new rig for it, so the gunning dory "Lark" is still on the front burner for now. Take a peek if you would like: https://gunningdory.wordpress.com/2014/08/09/3/ best of luck with your pinky build. Tim
  4. I'll be on board for this build too. It's a neat looking boat. I should've got it when it went on sale recently, but it'll come around again. I hope.
  5. This is the first I have seen this build and I gotta say it is truly awesome! The attention to detail is super. Everything is so crisp and clean - not a blemish anywhere. An inspiration. Two thumbs up!!
  6. I can't seem to find out much info at all on the Corel sloup kit. Can anybody tell me more, like POB or POF ? Decent instructions? Materials? The Corel site doesn't tell me much. I think it's a cool looking little fishing boat I'd like to build, but I'd like to know more before plunking down the cash. Corel Sloup
  7. no progress on my Pinky to report right now, but a cool video to view... no it's not mine ...now quit watching videos and get back to building!
  8. Thank you all for the kind words! It really does help motivate the builder! Dee Dee When you get your plans out - look at the supplemental sheet that shows the plank shapes - you will see that basically none of the planks are straight or even width. They are all curved and tapered. You will have to make each one different (except for it's twin on the other side). You will want to read and re-read the instructions many times 'til it all sinks in. At least I had to. And it's not that hard once you get started - just time consuming. And hobbies are supposed to be time consuming so it works out great! I will of course help you any way I can if you need it. Enjoy.
