Tom, your progress looks great. I have a question for you as I'm too impatient to wait for the books in the mail. Connie's original 1795 plans show no open waste. This would provide enough gunports for the 60 guns she originally had. The 1803 painting shows the open waste. Do you have any research that shows when the open waste was constructed? -
It's always a relief when you can successfully remove some glued on pieces without destroying them. Good work with that.

Scott, thanks for your kind word.

The finished hammock rails look very neat and precise. Great work!!!

They do seem to be riding a little high from my understanding of the plans. Just deepening those slots a little should be a quick enough fix.
-
Very nice looking quarter galleries Augie. Was the rabbit built into the plans or was that something you added yourself?
-
Those stanchions look great! They are a great size for the scale and are a real credit to your skills.
-
Decals? We all thought you were going the inlaid wood route. LOL
-
Very nice work on the stove platform Bob. I'm assuming the wood slats underneath the metal pan are to dissipate heat?
-
John, your Sultana looks very sharp! That is some great work.
-
The planking looks great CaptainSteve! The stain really gives the wood some nice depth.

If you haven't though of it already, you'll want to get a couple items with perfect right angles to brace the bulkheads and keel together while the glue dries. That should help you with getting the perfect perpendicular bulkhead.
-
That's looking great with the paint!
-
Tom, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
-
The details on your bow are looking great!
-
Your Robert E Lee looks fantastic so far. The kit looks like it has some very nice materials in it too.
-
CaptainSteve, I figured I'd drop in to see what you're putting together. Your launch framing looks great so far. The stains you have picked out look great too. Very nice work.

Marcus, I am eagerly awaiting this book in the mail. I have heard from folks around here that it's very full of useful information. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
-
CaptainSteve, I remember in your log when you did that. That was an outstanding idea by the way. We'll all keep our eyes peeled for when your log gets started up again.

Popeye, I haven't seen anything painted in that period to suggest they were ever present early on. The Hull model doesn't even have any installed on it. John, that is purely a 1" belt sander. The disc sander is attached to the lather outside in the garage. The belt sander makes sawdust really quickly so I have to be careful to not remove too much wood when working with it. The spindle sander is working out great too; much slower removal of wood. Mike, I am much happier with my one piece keel. When I laminated and glued the sections together of what MS supplied I felt that it wasn't very sturdy at all.

Rich, the windows and quarter galleries look great.

Evan, that sure is a nice job with the air port covers. I like your decision to omit the gunport lids too. Unless I can find something that tells me otherwise I'm leaving them off too. It doesn't make any sense for a blue ocean going vessel not to have them, but nothing I've seen suggests they're there.

Augie, the caprail on the transom looks incredible. The rest of the ship does too though. Even though today was the first day of spring, don't count on it buddy! Winter this year has been something else.
