    What a beautiful job! How do you intend to display it? Do you use cases? I’m disappointed that it’s over, but I am looking forward to your “Winnie” build (so start it soon!), and to Mrs. Glenn’s comments regarding the room enlargement … Great job on your narratives and photos - MSW should set up a separate category for this log and your future build logs. garthog PS - you need to change your Cheerful’s nameplate … from “2020” to “2021” … I had to be picky about something!

    Thanks for the photo and description of your cutters - now I know what you are talking about! Great job on your rigging!! garthog

    It’s a very fine photograph!

    It’s the sixth photo, the one following the threads and scissors image - it’s the bowsprit head on - there appears to be a reddish rectangle faintly appearing on the very end. garthog

    Looking good, Glenn - on your photo of the bowsprit collar, it looks like a rectangular pattern on the end of the bowsprit - is that a quirk of the photo as in I am seeing something that isn’t really there? Everything else looks so good I had to find something ... garthog

    What a beautiful job! Why go further? That’s a museum piece as it is. The cedar really does look great, especially as beautifully crafted as the entire model is now. garthog

    Glenn, do you use any application on your iphone 12 other than the iphone app for photography and your photos? garthog

    Not only is your work looking great, but your photography is superb! Of course the text is done well also but I spend quite some time examining your photos - great job! Have fun rigging the rest of the cannons ... garthog

    The metal work looks very authentic - I enlarged the the photo considerably to examine every detail (nice camera work!) - I did notice the cannon at the 10 o’clock position appears to have a very small bore - I wonder if that is to scale and it really was that small? Seems like a lot of cannon for a small “caliber”, or maybe I’m seeing it incorrectly. Not an issue, I’m just curious since I can’t find anything else less than perfect! garthog

    What beautiful work you are doing - the Proxxon I’ve never worked with so everything you do with it is of great interest to me - thanks again for continuing to share your techniques - by the way, I hate metal working ... I never get it quite right! garthog

    Beautiful work, Glenn - but the excellent photos with easy-to-read narratives make your log as entertaining as it is informative. Keep going, and keep us happy! garthog

    Thanks for that explanation. Do you know how they curved the deck planks originally? Wouldn’t they have been edge curved? Or were they cut in a curve? I enjoy just reading these conversations because I learn so much, so please excuse my ignorance. keep going, Glenn - this is fun watching your unbelievable work progress! garthog

    Just caught up with you! What a nice job! I've stolen your idea for the template you've created for the deck planking - Thanks!! I am very curious to see how this curved deck planking works out - how did they do it for real? and why? I guess that's why I was in the Army, not the Navy ... some of this stuff is a mystery to me. warthog

    Wow! What great precision work - I really appreciate your photos with the explanations - hopefully the beer stein will make its appearance somewhere. warthog

    I was going to ask how many WOP coats you’ve used - it looks great! Museum quality! The Annapolis museum should be very interested in your work.
