Same here. A very happy birthday to you.

Mort

Your stern looks great. Neat, clean, very impressive.

Mort

Hi Guys,

I would like to overlap my copper plates but I am hesitant to because I do not want to run short.

Mort

I second that. Welcome back.

Mort

Thank you for reposting this. I really appreciate it.

Mort

I too am going to apply a matt varnish to my hull when I finally paint it. I think it protects the paint besides adding to the overall appearence.

Mort

Your stern is very impressive. I like the fact that you assembled the stern entirely separate and then glued it to the hull. I do not know if I would have thought to do it that way.

Mort

Hi Rosemarie,

Great job. Keep up the great work.

Mort

Hi Gil,

Welcome back. Glad to hear you were able to recover your log. Your log is priceless. Now you know why god invented children. The other reason was grandchildren.

Be well my friend,

Mort

Welcome back,

Your Snake looks great. I look forward to more posts.

Mort

Hi Patrick,

Thanks very much. Now it is clear.

Mort

I emailed Caldercraft last week. I had an issue with the belaying pins for my Snake - but I have not recived an answer.

Mort

Sorry Patrick, I meant should you have - and you may have - used heat to shape the stern before attempting to glue it to the hull, thus having it curved and fully shaped before it was glued there by avoiding the the corners snapping off. I am asking so I will be able to avoid them snapping off when I build my Vic.

Thanks,

Mort

Hi Jim,

Welcome back and thanks for posting. Hopefully some of the other Snake builders will soon join us. I have just finished sanding the hull after the second planking and attaching the wales. I am waiting for my grandson to arrive- next weekend- and then we are going to paint the bulworks red. Until then  I am starting to assemble the guns. Question do you know if the carronades would have been rigged with a train tackle at the rear? As of now I plan to rig the train tackle.

Thanks,

Mort

Hi Yon,

Thanks for reposting.

Mort

Hi Patrick,

In retrospect should you have slightly bent the stern facia thus giving it a slight curve?

Mort

Thank you very much Christian. i am going to order some.

Mort

Great to see you back so quickly.

Mort

Hi Christian,

Great to have you back. Where did you get those figures from? I would like to have some for my Snake. 

Thanks,

Mort

Very nice. Those galleries, stem and stern are superbe. 

Mort

Hi David,

Glad to have you back. Thanks for taking the time to reload your log. I have been following you since day 1.
