Lovely, simply beautiful work and very good tips making life easier on the gun carriage wheels: thanks! Frank. -
Thanks all and also for the likes! This is very encouraging! Yes! Two weeks Christmas holidays finally after working long hours for many, many weeks…finally some time to catch up in my now well-known slow but steady pace… Chapter two, here we go with step 1: getting the gentle S-curve in the batten port and starboard for the bottom of the wales.

Corrected the upper sides of the transom filler pieces I forgot to sand before glueing them in. Checked with the transom piece if I’m still within reasonable boundaries, symmetrical and even. When the bowsprit hole in the bollards piece and in place, I now finally will finish chapter 1 this weekend.

Thanks Steve! I have to work harder on my Winnie than for my boss then! Yours looks very good as well! Friday and yesterday worked 12 and 10 hours.

Fantastic, very beautiful and inspiring interiors! Frank.

Thanks!

That is looking so straight and clean Steve, simply wonderful work!

Getting hungry seeing that stove! Feel like throwing in some pork, chicken and beef! Nice pint of grog or beer with it would be nice too…🍗🥩🥃🍺😉👍🏻

Looking good Steve! You earn 100 points extra from me when scroll sawing your own keel and bulkheads…I cowardly bought the laser cutted stuff from Chuck and it is spot on, I couldn’t beat that in a thousand years with my sawing talents…But then ofcourse now I again miss some practice. So I’m already thinking of after this first one in Alaskan Yellow Cedar, build a Cherry version, both wood colors are so beautiful! Perhaps you can correct that very small bend in your keel when gluing the bulkheads? Or are you afraid risking good precise made bulkheads on the bent keel? Anyway, very warm welcome and I’ll be following your build log as well! Frank.

Thanks!

Small update on the bollards.
-
Thanks Chuck, then my next challenge is mirror the other one exactly now. Frank.

Small update cutting the bollards. First version, I think the head’s a little too thin or small In this version compared to other pictures here, now I see mine on picture, not? Frank.
-
Me neither, I wish I was, as this is so beautiful! But I'm still taking my time cutting the bollards. Also cut my finger last week cutting making the second version of the pair of them. Will update soon, the version without blood on the parts ofcourse...

I'm glad to read you're starting another build Glenn. I admired your HMS Vanguard and was sorry to read that your seventh build would be your last' and that you 'were done'... Luckily Chuck succeeded tempting you to build another one! I'm following your build and will check your updates. P.S. that's a very nice, clean and light workspace you have there!

Hi Paul. Good to see another Winnie build log started! Welcome and I already love your beautiful precise and clean work! I'll certainly pull up a chair and follow your log! Frank.

Any updates to share with us Tom? Frank
-
Hahaha Matt, first the sneeze wood, then giving your old ugly kit(s) away to someone you don’t like, then the carving and headreail porn and now the green bananas. I feel we must go to the pub sometime together and have some large pints! And your latest updates look awesome and very beautifully build Bob! It’s a piece of art already and if it were to stay the way it looks now, I would definitely display it in my living room! I like reading these Winnie build logs for ever more reasons day by day! Frank.
-
As soon as this Amati HMS Victory kit comes available, I’m in for one! Frank.
-
No idea yet how I’d tackle all this headrail and carving beauty, but I have eight or nine chapters to think and contemplate on it and cowardly watch you guys all donit before me I guess. I will sure take all the time it needs like I’m doing right now with the bollards . But I agree with the apparent consensus : no compromises to detail nor quality, let’s take the hard road!

I always make sure I hold my iPhone 11 horizontally, with the camera push button at my right thumb, both pictures and movies are upright and can be watched on a computer screen or tv upright and full screen, that is, no small vertical phone recordings. Even uploading to this site can be done without problems.

Either way is beautiful and historically plausible, so build it as you please Matthias, your work is all beautiful, so who are we to criticise how you like to build it, with or without those panels?
