To be honest, I don't know which is which. They both look good to me.

We shall see when production starts.   The biggest issue is getting enough sheets of milled Yellow Cedar and being able to laser cut so many parts with only one machine.  I really dont want to buy more machines.  Dont have the room.  I cant possibly store or even expect Joe to mill the hundreds and thousands of sheets needed to meet demand.  

 

Like the Longboat kit and Barge kit,  its tough for me to meet demand.   I wont discontinue any kits but think of them like the McRib sandwich.  It may be months if not a year before I find the time to make more of them and have enough wood to do so.

 

But eventually the McRib sandwich will be back for everyone to enjoy...personally I think the sandwiches are disgusting but you get what I mean.

Totally understandable considering the amount of time and effort required to cut just one kit. Not to mention maintenance on the laser cutter.

Looks to be an impressive kit.

Look for the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the post. Click and select edit. Also, send me a pm with a link to your finished logs so I can update the index.

Very nice!

Hi Rob. Welcome to MSW 

They are still in business but I know that their USA website doesn't have a lot to choose from anymore. I don't why though. The UK site looks to be more robust. They also sell as fanhome but limited choices there also.

I finally have an update. I finished the first layer of planking. I was just winging it and wasn't really being too careful here as the second layer will cover everything up. I still have a bit of sanding and filling to do to make sure I have a nice smooth surface for the second layer.

Thanks Jeff - appreciated

Would that be soaking in just water (i heard somebody mention a bit of vinegar in it too)?

The pictures doesn't really show, but its the aft section that needs the soaking most, as it has more of a twist to it as well as the bend.

Just water is good enough.

I think soaking that bulwark for 20 or 30 minutes would be a good idea. You can then clamp it in place and allow it to dry to the correct shape. You can speed up the drying process with a blow dryer. Its hard to tell from the pictures but it doesn't look like you would need to soak the aft, just the bow section.

Looks like an excellent kit. If I wasn’t already building the agora version I’d jump right on this one.

Hi Jim. Welcome to MSW  

How do you like the kit so far?

I recently began working on this particular kit and so far have had no issues.
