Hey Rusty, I quite like the contrast with the treenails - i wouldn't of expected so much seeing its all boxwood. At least you at a point to start raising the frames, i haven't even had time to drill and tap my keel yet. Looks good mate. ben -
Some very nice work there Sjors, look forward to seeing the rigging start. Ben

Take it easy grant, she'll be waiting for you when ure ready. Remember - it ain't a race, it's a marathon and all that counts is that you finish. Ben

Well done Jim, you have made superb progress!! I hope mine look half as good when I get started. Again well done. Ben -
Hi Anja, good to see you back hard at work on the moon, looking good. Ben

Thanks Jim and JP. Cant wait to see how much I get, then spend it all at Byrnes toy store.

Have you tried Jeff Hayes @ Hobbymill?? He ships all over the world and can normally supply anything, the shipping price may be expensive though. You can get to his site from a link on the main forum page. ben

Awesome job on those joints there Rusty, Good practice for the ECHO and BOMB. Do you use chisels and files for the mortices only?? ben

Hi Grant - Yeh, I'm not sure which it is either but then ignorance can sometimes be bliss. Sjors - First purchase will be the Jim Byrnes table saw with a few add-ons, we will see how much if any money is left after that. ben

Well this is a happy day! I was just informed by my boss that we will be receiving a bonus cheque this year!! :-)) I asked the admiral of the house and she said I can spend it how I wish!! I told her that Byrnes model machines was gonna take the lot to upgrade my workshop with some fine tools to help start my darkside career, she smiled sideways and said " whatever you need ". Ahhh! Love works in soooo many ways! Ben

Augie, I feel that we deserve some sort of update to keep us away from these diversions that plague your build log! I don't care what it is, even a pic of you snow shoveling will do :-) Ben

Wow Bob - very nice setup you have there!! Some nice machines which will help a lot. I'm still in the process of getting everything I want for scratch building, money is my issue!! Have fun. Ben -
Awesome work with that ebony ring Danny, i know it's so hard but very brittle as well, looks great finished. Ben
-
Well done and some great progress there Sjors, you will be in the rigging soon!!! Ben

Good to see you pounding along again, won't be long until you finish covering her bones. Ben

Wow mobbsie, back to flank speed I see, can't wait to see the second planking finished tomorrow. :-) Ben

Very nice work there, another beautiful Syren, Chuck must be so proud. Ben

Now Now Rusty, Dont set him off!! Remember Im doing 3 builds the same as you! Sjors - I think Rusty would have more experience than I on tying ratlines anyway - send the Mirage to him for a few weeks, he can try 4 builds at once. ben

I just used a curved xacto blade to scrape and scrape and scrape the glue residue away, it took a while but it can be done. Ben
-
Nice work on the painting Toni, it's one of those steps that I struggle with still. Ben
