  1. First metal work. I decided to upgrade the galley stack. Question: I notice that the 'brass black' does not stain as much the solder joint. Any suggestions?
  2. Small Update. I used the Elm tree pump from the Syren Company instead of following the directions from the kit. They turned out nicely.
  3. I finished the second layer planking of the hull. I applied one coat of natural stain. It is by far not a perfect planking job. I guess practice will make perfect. One side is better than the other. The next step is to touch up the yellow ocre and the black here and there. The final step of this hull will be one or two coat of poly.
  4. Hi Zoltan, Well... I looked around on the plan and documentation and I was not able to confirm which size to use 3/16 or 1/4. Since I used 1/4 for the first layer, I decided to use this one as well. I like the look of it. Does it seem too big?
  5. Good eyes Brian. I saw it after posting the picture. It would have driven me crazy. I had also put all the tool away...
  6. Worked on the cabin this weekend. Poop deck made with cherry wood. I use one coat of natural vernis on the top. I am going to wait for the rest until I finished the treenail. Love it.
  7. Almost done for the deck furnitures. I only need to do the fake hinges on the companionway. Thinking about doing fake rivets for it. Looks like I need to get a soldering iron... In the mean time I worked on the decking. I am using boxwood. A few mistakes. - My pattern is every 4 and with the size of the deck I think every 3 would have been better. - I did the first few planks with a small incorrect angle and with the width of the strip of wood used I am a bit off. I contemplated redoing everything but due to budgetany consideration I am going to have to live with it Still learning how to properly plank....
  8. Rails are done... Next nerve racking step is to drill the sweep port and the bow sprint hole. Is there a specific method or recommendation you would suggest? Thanks.
