Now that's some very fine work Toni! Nice idea using the pop bottle for soaking the plank, I'll remember that one. Ben

Thanks for all the likes, comments and support. Yippee! Managed to complete the hawse timbers after the damaged can't frame 1 was replaced, obviously I need to mark and drill the hawse holes as well as make the bowsprit chock but pretty happy to of finally got to this point. I have also been making up the rest of the cant frames in readiness. And I have even spent quite a bit of time working on the Indy plans. Ben

Just saw that micro mark has come out with a 3D printer for $725. Love to see if anybody gives it a try. Ben

Use as many as needed to get a finish that you are satisfied with, the only reason that I use that many is because I make my paint very thin, therefore it takes a lot of coats to build up the coverage, but the bonus is that you get a very even paint job with no brush marks. Ben

Go for it Rusty, no drops or steelers will be impressive if you pull it off. Just a question on your math, 4 belts of 7 planks would be 28 total, not 24. 24 would of course be 4 belts of 6 planks?? Typo?? Ben

Well not much work has been done in the last few weeks, I decided I needed a break as I was getting frustrated with the hawse timbers, while working on the portside and taking them in and out, the temporary glue holding them in place, well I guess I didn't let the ISO soak in long enough, and when I pulled them back out it damaged the first cant frame, see picture. After having this breather I have removed the cant and have made another. Then I will complete the hawse timbers and move on again. Ben

Looks great Rusty! Ben

Hey Greg, The fate of Version 2 was decided by trying to do the hawse holes before hand, it didnt go to well so I decided to do them afterwards, start with small drill and gradually increase size with file/reamer. I really hope to get to that point over this weekend. ben

If you want something smaller but to get used to full framing why don't you try an Echo cross section from Greg and David, also they don't take up a lot of room which you will need a lot of if you build that 120 gun monster. Ben

Feeling any better Chris? Ben

Nice Toni, I think two or three colors is enough for my tastes, maybe boxwood above the wales and holly below, should contrast well with the black wales and my Swiss pear, that's what I'm thinking anyway. Ben
