Hello John, welcome to MSW. Hope to see a build log for your Jolie Brise, it is a good subject with a long history and still afloat. Why not post a few words in the New Members Introduction thread? Bruce -
"The uses and conveniences of different kinds of Water Craft" Continental Army Vessels on Inland Waterways, 1775-1782 by John U. Rees, 2001 The_uses_and_conveniences_of_different.pdf EDIT: so there is no confusion, the status of this document is Open Access although it is not plainly stated in the text. The source is acemia.edu and this statement is on their home page: "Open Access Academia’s goal is to ensure that every paper, ever written, is on the internet, available for free. 22 million papers have been uploaded to Academia.edu. We think there are ~100 million papers ever written, so we are ~22% of the way there." Thanks go to Kurt for highlighting the lack of this information in the post. Wouldn't want it any other way.

That was common practice, a pin or wedge was (I think) also used to 'cinch up' the assembly. The west was a big wide place and not all blacksmiths went to the same school. Many of them were immigrants or second generation Americans and were still doing things like they had been done in whatever country they learned. It took the arrival of the railroads to make the idea of a 'standard' part make sense. These stage coaches were pretty much alike in looks but could have any number of small differences in fittings or repairs. Careful, I might get on my soapbox 🤐

Oliver, it is so good to see this French subject get attention. I am looking forward to it! May I ask what woods you are using?
-
Expert? Moi? Nah. Several generations of the family on my father's side were blacksmiths, so put it down to a form of tribal memory 😉. It looks like a good kit. Can I ask what is your opinion of it now you have been 'hands-on' for while?

Henrik, sorry to hear your news. Your Aggie looks good, please keep us up to date. Regards, Bruce
