Ooooohh! That really looks superb rusty, Everything looking very precise, at that boxwood is the nuts! Did you spend a lot of time on that knee, looks like fun to get the shape just right and the steps against the hull planking. Ben -
Hi Toni, Sorry if youve already answered this but what material are those 2100 treenail made from? Bamboo? Beautiful work and thanks for doing such a detailed rebuild of your log. ben

Scott, got to agree with the others, a superb kit with very good instructions. And you can chat with the designer Chuck Passaro right here on MSW as he is one of the Admins, ask all the questions you can but Im sure you wont be dissapointed. ben

Hi jason and very well done up to now, your motoring right along. I do have a question on what you are using for paint? the ME paint that was optional? looks like it was going on a bit thick, maybe try thinning it down but adding more coats, may give better results. ben

I will wait for updates man.

These things are bound to happen when you have a lot of rigging to do, love the fix! I think I have made more mistakes on the Confeds stern than you have made on your entire rigging :-) Ben

Sorry rusty for posting stuff on your log. Yves - Chuck is an extremely busy guy, he runs and looks after this site god bless him, he always goes out of his way to help anyone, we can ask and expect NO more from him!!! If HE chooses to do above and beyond, which he usually does, then great. But he is not a manufacturer! He maybe covers his costs but I doubt that as well. Please respect the work that he does designing the best kits on the market IMHO. Chuck - thank you, your a steely eyed missile man. Ben -

Hi, I will take some pics of the other castings and post them, If I remember right they were not as bad as the figurehead ( absolute crap ), but nowhere near as nice as the resin ones that Chuck did - wish he would make some more ( pretty please ) . ben- 149 replies

Hi Floyd, Let me see this weekend if I can find the old external HDD that has all the photos of my previous builds, If I can find it I will post some pics on the forum, maybe in the gallery of them all. AL Swift, AL Scottish Maid, AL Harvey, AL San Juan Nempo. I do remember that I stayed pretty much with the plans though and hardly did any bashing to Harvey. ben

I'm not kidding either!! Lol. :-)) Ben

Nicely done Augie ( edward tweezerhands. ROFLMAO! ). Must be a real satisfiying feeling finishing the ratlines. So what are your plans for the next build? Any Ideas?? Confederacy maybe?? ben
-
Nice work JP, glad to see that you are giving spiling a go! Is the problem plank trying to lift off on one edge? if so thats the common issue with edge bending that spiling will correct. look forward to more. ben

Hi, I will also follow your longboat build, I stop and start on mine every now and then when I get time, I have just stepped the mast and bowsprit, rigging next :-). You can find my log as well as a couple if others on the site. Make sure to look at Chucks. Ben

Hey Rusty, I seem to remember from 1.0 that you did your internal planking before adding the stern pieces, did you have a reason for doing it this way?? I'm at that point right now so I would like to know. Ben- 149 replies

Very interesting Floyd, I built the Harvey several years ago and gave it to a friend, unfortunately he had a house fire and everything was lost. Your bash list seems quite comprehensive and I look forward to following your build. Ben

Damn Remco, how the hell do you make such beautiful blocks, it's insane what you are capable of. One day in the far future I would love to be able to even scratch the surface of what you achieve every day. Ben

Jim, your a lucky man being able to attend the workshop, it's high on my bucket list but just can't get away from work at the moment. Enjoy it, take lots of pics and give us unlucky ones a treat by telling us all about it on your log. Ben -
Hey Chuck, Glad to see you are back and going to rebuild your log. My longboat is not here but in the normal kit build logs if you want to see another one. I will follow along on yours and Toni's. Ben EDIT 3-11-2013, Just found my log has been moved to this area now!
