Richard, I have been away from the site for a little while and just checked your progress. I am way impressed with your A frame, the impressive paint job with a brush and your sails. I have a lot of work to do, I am hoping to get some good work in this summer, and when I do I will post my pictures for you to see. I also really like the stand, very cool looking. I have a feeling I will be asking you many questions down to road. -Josh -

Richard, Well done, it sure is neat to see your progress. Sure motivates me to work on mine. Keep up the good work. You going to build the deck or cabins first?

Mobbsie, It is looking great. The planking is looking good. I am impressed with the work you have done so far. Did you say this is your first build? Regardless you are doing a great job. She is a biggen.

Garward, Molodets, krasivaya robota. I loved looking at your build log. You do great work. I see you are from Ukraine, I used to live in Ukraine, How are things on the other side of the world? I never lived in Kiev, but I visited on my way home. Love that city.

Adam, I've never been part of an armada before, let alone a Skipjack armada!!! I'm in. Thanks for the kind words. Hope the home remodels have gone smoothly, or at least have moved forward, ha ha. In my experience remodels never go as smooth as they are planned. Hope you had a different experience.

popeye, It is looking good, great detail and a novice shipbuilder like myself really appreciates the photos, I am able to learn a lot from them. Thank you. Keep up the good work, for what it's worth, I think it looks great.

Matrim, This is unbelievable, wow I have no words. It looks amazing. I enjoyed watching this, the cannons are beautiful. Well done.

I have a few questions that I would like to get answered. 1. When it comes to painting the hull, I know I need to sand it well first, then prime, followed by painting. Am I missing any steps? 2. What is the water line for? I see it everywhere and see everyone talk about it, but I'm very unfamiliar with what things are. Never really been around boats and the lingo. 3. Is it better to build the deck first or the hatches and cabins first? 4. in my instructions it says to notch out different parts of the side coamings for the hatch plank. Is this for the roof of the hatch or for the bottom of the hatch? Also am I assuming right with thinking the coamings are the deck beams? Any insight or possible suggestions would be much appreciated.

robipod, yes it is a ball mount. Not that I have anything to compare it to, but it seems to work pretty well. Yep it sure is my first build. Thanks

robipod, What a beautiful boat you have done. I love your work bench too. I wish I had that setup. I look forward to following your build. Good luck with everything else.

I have been enjoying my schooling as well. trippwj - Thanks, it's nice to be told my build is crisp. That's a first. ha ha. I don't know how the degree is for other, but it's been a challenge for me so far, but I've enjoyed it thus far.

This is my first build, I haven't been able to work on it much as of late due to grad school taking up all my time. But I am going to post pictures and some info. Hopefully I'll be able to get a little work on it done here and there, I know I will have many many questions as I progress along. The typical first picture. Getting started with the build. The shape is coming together. Adding the planks. Lots of sanding happened here. First look of the inside. And we are up to date. If anyone sees anything that I might have missed or needs fixing, please don't hesitate to let me know. This is after all my fist build ever. I am always open to criticism and suggestions. I see that I am going to have to do some soldering, I have never done this, and I don't have any of the tools. What do I need to get to do a good job and make my life as easy as possible. -joshukr-
