Skipjack/Floss part 8 While I was in Edmonton today picking up supplies for the library event on Friday in the village I happened to be next door to the hardwood store..... well I couldn't resist having a look... Dangerous, very dangerous thing to do This piece of Castello Boxwood fell out of the rack right in front of me.... so I had to pick it up and of course once it was in my hands I couldn't put it down... so I had to take it to the counter, (3.7board feet) where they relieved me of a bit of cash... Shhhhhhh The wood for the launch is now in hand, it will be fun working with a new wood that i have not used in the past. September will be here soon enough. Michael

thank you to one and All for your kind remarks and encouragement, I will be painting the hull within a couple of weeks. On Friday I will be taking the pilot cutter to the Seba Pavilion (a stones throw from the water) for a local library summer programming activity launch) no not the cutter but I decided not to rush things and try to get a finish paint on the hull for Friday but to see how easy it will be to de-rig and re-rig her, so to that end I dropped the mast with the minimum of fuss by just slackening the shrouds, that's the nice thing about mounting on the deck I did not have to pull the mast out of the hull. the whole operation took about 5 minutes. My it does look big in the living room. Michael

Sounds like you are progressing along well, I look forward to seeing the first pieces of wood lay down on the build table. Michael

It is easy to see the form of the hull now John, looking good. Michael

Keith you have done a fine job on the boat, your Bligh looks great also. Michael

Dave your sentiments about this site are no doubt shared by many including myself. Dave those cleats are simply amazing, as is the rest of the model and the rigging is remarkable. Michael

It is a complex model for a first build, I admire your pluck, and trust you have the energy to work through until completion, I will follow along. Michael

Regarding the sanding sticks, I have found that double sided tape is much easier than rubber cement. Nice work on the workbench Remco, Pebbles looks like a real charmer. Michael

Lions heads....is that what they are? I though that they were raspberries that had been out in the sun too long. Very nice work on the little boats Denis Michael

plating looks great Nenad. There is an error in the link http://mcjazz.f2s.com/ClipperShipPlans.htm I get a page not found error. No dont worry now that i cut and pasted it it seems to work, that is strange. Michael -
Nice work on the cutter Steve. I like the bead idea I wonder if you were to give a slight pinch in the tube below the bead and a slight peening at the end whether you could use the same bead but have it as a swiveling fit instead of a glued one? Great Idea with the sprig Gerry. Michael

Ed I have run out of words, and just enjoy following along. Michael
-
Kevin a great start, i will be following along as well. Michael
-
What a great upgrade! the model and the full size counterpart look super. Michael

The method that you are using for laying out the angles for the chain plates makes a lot of sense Nils. Michael
