Lovely progress Albert Remco -
I love the Knechten and the way you made the hats! Remco

Wonderfull display of craftsmanship, I can only imagine how challenging it is to get the shapes of the planks just right to get an excellent fit. Remco

'Little progress' yet not an easy part to fit the grating next to the transom. Excellent fit of such a difficult part. Love the holdings on the floorboards. Remco

Your carving turned out really really really great! Remco

Sorry to hear about your humidity issues. But that will sort out with the 'right equipment' I love your workshop, lots of space and light. Remco

I totally missed the start of this beautiful build. On the upside I had a lot of catching up to do so Druxey you you made my day extra special Your choice of subject is great and your execution out of this world. I will stick to workboats as this barge is out of my league Remco

Hi Gary, Wonderfull progress. I'm wondering, how do you align the templates if you paste them to both sides of one piece? Remco

Absolutely beautiful Remco -
Hi Piet, the carvings are getting better and better. Jut a few remarks on the shark, should the dorsal fin not be a bit more to the rear(stern ) and did you leave the left front fin away on purpose. You could show the latter sticking out under the crocs foot. Picture Remco

Ok, 2.0 is even better! Remco

The mouldings are a lovely detail to the benches. Remco

Nope, stupid questions don't exist, stupid answers do exist... Jan, first the blade is annealed, I use a small blow torch to heat the metal till it's bright red and then let it cool slowly back to room temperature. Now the blade is soft enough to use files and saws to make the shape of the waterway. Then the blade is heated till its red/orange and immediately dropped in a jar with oil, this is quenching. I used peanut oil as this was the only one I had in at hand. Then The blade is heat treated in a regular oven at 400F/205C Remco

Thanks all! I lost count Piet Greg the scraper worked fine at the curved sections. I just had to go slow and take very thin shavings. The vertical edges1 of my scraper are smooth so they hardly take any wood off, the horizontal side is sharp and does all the cutting. The scraper was made from a blade of a Stanley knife. The steel was treated to soften it for shaping and then hardened again to keep the edge sharp. It's clamped in a small hand vice to make the scraping easier. Remco

Between a side project to add more store capacity to my workshop (lots of extra drawers, can't have enough of them it seems) I installed the waterway. Using card templates to determine the shapes and home build scraper to get the typical profile of the plank (see last pic). The hook and scarf joints were extra tricky as the position of the waterway it self was fixed due to their shapes relative to the hull. So I had to get them right the first time. They all were ok, although sometimes I had to fill a minor gap with a small sliver of wood. The small piece at the bow connecting the port an starboard waterway was challenging. Remco

That is a clever trick to cut the flanges! The overall result of your metalwork is great (again...) Remco

I'd say keep on going it looks very promising. I like it that the sharks tail is free from the transom and adds depth to the overall picture. If you can pull this off with the tip of the sharks nose that would increase the depth as well. Remco

Hi Grant, Great project. To defog the instrument panel 'glasses' you can dip them in Future Floor Polish or an equivalent. Aircraft modellers use(d) this to make the canopy's clear. Remco

I think one of the issues is I didn't use pure black Fieblings, but mixed it with Mahogany (same brand) to get a very dark brown instead of black as I liked that better. I would expect that if the tung finish (I use it not pure but thinned down with turpentine) dissolved the stain the issue would have presented it right away. But it was ok for over 6 months before it started to fade. So it must be the UV causing the issue. Anyway I will make a few scrap pieces with and without finish with both my mixed colour and pure black to see what happens over time and use them to test if I can repair it or not. Next to that I will try an acrylic ink The results will follow in due time. Remco
