Thanks ! I had a really good surgeon, spent a lot of time talking with me, had a great sense of humor. Even came up to check on me on his day off before going to his granddaughter's soccer game. My "doctor" daughter (PhD Epidemiology, 25 yrs experience), drove down to see me; he spent a good amount of time speaking with her. I am walking around the neighborhood each day without assistance, so far so good. Your wife's experience is scary, hope she is fully recovered now. -
No ! You definitely do not want any of that ...... went in hospital for same day hernia repair 10 days ago ..... emerged 5 days later after spending 3 of those days NPO, nil per os, with an NG tube, because the alimentary canal went to sleep and would not wake up. The surgery was a breeze. I was fully awake post op and ambulating, just certain parts of the waste disposal system decided to take a 3 day nap. The medical term is ileus. And Covid Rules - 1 visitor per day per patient between 1100 hours and 1800 hours for 4 hours max; when they leave they can't come back till next day. I've been home since late Tuesday last. Can't lift anything over 10 pounds for 4 weeks post op.

Oh, maybe I am the one confused ! The close similarity in spelling Monssen versus Momsen ! Must be all the General Anesthesia I've had in last 6 months - brain cells are still asleep.

A simple "hi I am following your build" plus clicking the FOLLOW button at the top of the log, is all that's needed also.- 66 replies

EG, I am familiar with the history and accomplishments of "Swede" Monssen. I used to have a book about his service, but lent it out to a Coastie to read.. What happened historically between your Greaves Class USS Monssen DD-436 which sank and the Arleigh Burke Class USS Monssen DDG-92 ? I've been looking for a kit of the Greaves Class Monssen but keep finding only kits for the Burke Class DDG.

About time you guys showed up, it's been pretty lonely over here in the corner of the foc'sle 😉😉😉😉 !

Absolutely magnificent model! I agree with Mark, museum quality! Your figure carvings are outstanding.

Yep ! Learned all of that while restoring a 100 year old 38 ft ice yacht this past winter! Have fun, Chris ! Nice project. Watched a guy build a stitch n glue rowing canoe with Purple Heart wood gunnels and seats, no plans, no kits, just drew it out on 2 sheets of plywood. Make for beautiful boats

Sorry! Don't have any way of making a video ! But using their miniature tools is pretty easy. Just practice on some scrap pieces of wood till you get the feel for it. I use it the same way I use a full size plane. If you want the Lee Valley Veritas miniatures I would purchase their block plane first.

Looks great, Phil !

Have you looked at the door latch Michael Mott created for his Bristol Cutter build ? Start Here and scroll forward in time. -

To see the shape of the boat when we got it compared to the restored boat, see the photos in Post 64 of the boat sitting inside the trailer.

Thanks Edward. It was a fun project. Now if "climate change" will be kind to us this winter and let the Hudson River freeze to a thickness and area we can safely use, we may get to take it for a sail. Of course, there are still some tune-ups to be done, starting with sharpening those runner blades 😉 I am thinking about scratch building a model of Manhasset later in the season, the dual cockpit should look cool, especially since I now know exactly how it attaches to the backbone. Probably do it in the same scale as the Rocket.

Yesterday (Saturday) about a bake's dozen of us gathered at the farm of a fellow ice boat club member to reassemble the Manhasset and make sure we had all the parts. Unfortunately installing all the hardware and getting the boat realigned and the mast rigging sorted out (even tho all the stays were labeled) took more time than we anticipated so we ran out of daylight and decided to forego, for now, trying to step the mast. As the sun was setting in the west we finally go all of the components loaded back into the trailer. We used the trailer's crane to lift the backbone and runner plank into the trailer. Photos of the events follow: Installing the main runners to the runner plank Carrying the backbone from the lean-to shelter and aligning it on the runner plank and fastening the gammon straps that hold the runner plank to the backbone (it took 10 people to carry the backbone) Assembled with both cockpits installed With less than an hour of daylight remaining we decided to stop at this point, disassemble the boat and using the crane load it into its trailer. And finally the motley crew of restorers (sorry for picture darkness - I gave the camera to someone and somehow the camera got switched from AUTO to Manual) And with that chapter closed we will resume the building of the Constellation. Stay tuned !
