Hi Mike I find polishing the Liberon sanding sealer with wire wool removes the shine, makes very smooth and imparts a sort of satin finish that is very acceptable, and can be polished even further with a light rubbing of oil Regards Paul

Unfortunately no work in the Sirius this weekend as had orders from above to make handles for the wife's sewing machine screwdriver and her unpicker thingymagig, First try at turning with the screwdriver and then went mad with some glued together strips for the unpicker, the small one in the middle is a piece of naturally two coloured ebony The machine is a 1932 Jones in beautiful condition so I thought I had better put some effort into the handles to match the workmanship on the machine, she chose three so that means I get to keep the bottom right for one of my xacto saws bargain!!

Hi Alan I'm not sure the planks would be nibbled into the waterway as Mark suggested, this was a later arrangement with the advent of power saw mills etc, Druxey mentions this in his comet book If you have twenty planks amidships you would need to taper them to fit at stem and stern where they come down the side if their width would be less than half the plank they were scarfed into the next plank, hope that makes sense see below at the right of the windlass And here in the bow Hope that helps Regards Paul

Skid beams being test fitted and a couple of holly planks being used to check the flatness of the forecastle deck

The forecastle is completed apart from some lodging knees, I have also cut the skid beams ready for cambering, brodie stove finally hidden under the beams after all this time Foremast partner is in the process of being test fitted, I also added some chocks on either side of the fore bitts as seemed very weak area, the two iron knees can just be seen in the photos Regards Paul
