BubbleHead got a reaction from Trussben in HMS Winchelsea 1764 by Bubblehead - 1:48
Started chapter three
I lined up the transom windows It Took a bit but finally everything looked good. port and starboard measure the same distance from the hull out. From the transom to the lower counter measures the same and looks good.
That is it looks good to me. I will make the final window adjustment after gluing the transom on.

No not giving up. Right now trying to straightening out the line to match the keel to fit the garboard. Maybe non of this mess will not show too much as it's on the bottom.

Hi no, I haven't given up. I re-did the whales six times and was still not satisfied but moved on. This is my redo and practice one, have decided to build another.
Started the lining off.
This is the part I really wanted to learn as Mr. Passaro stated in his great planking tutorial on all the compromises having to do when not knowing the proper way of planking the hull and I have done them all, thought he was describing me.
Thank you, Mr. Passaro, for your planking tutorial simplified things for me. I have finished ticking the port side and almost the starboard just have to get out the tick fan.

Thank you I'll give it a try, but doesn't the white glue leave the thread stiff at the ribs and leave the thread straight at that point and not flowing around? Sitting here thinking about this and just had a thought. When I make sails I use fabric glue cut about 50% along the folded edges because I can't fold, hold and sew at the same time and make it right so I glue them down and the fabric has been left all floppy just like no glue was used. I think I'll give it a try and see if it will stick to the wood.Either way I'll see what works for me.

I used pin 1/8"striping tape and didn't like it. Only sticks two or three times. Have to find some other method.

I was thinking of decal paper if there is such a thing. Haven't reached that chapter yet. Can you even print on it will the ink dry? Things to test.

BubbleHead got a reaction from Canute in Artesania Latina, S.A. Micro Shapers A, B & C
I save all the old #17 blades because it takes me two or three times to get it right. But I'm a long way from any moldings. I will post some pic.
