I have to say that Wood Project Source has earned my loyalty. A very well packaged, accurate order of hard maple has arrived. Thank you, Roman, for the quality cutting and extra milled strips! Steve

Welcome aboard. This kit design, although similar to the longboat, provides its own challenges. I suspect planking will be equally difficult. The longboat is a more complex project and very tiny (6 1/2 inch hull). Parts just kept getting smaller as I progressed in the build. My order from Wood Project Source has shipped. Also, the display case from Kreative Acrylics for the longboat has shipped. Stay tuned... Steve

After completing the English Longboat, this build of the English Pinnace seems like the next logical project for me. I placed an order with Wood Project Source for some hard maple. This order covers the planking and various other aspects of the build. The laser cut parts from the kit will be used, of course. I'm very curious how it is to work with hard maple. A photo of the plans, practicum, and my planking fan is included for your enjoyment while I procrastinate on creating a building board for this project. Welcome! Steve

Regarding the eyebolt- even though I have not thoroughly gone through my set of plans and practicum yet, I believe I remember that there's an illustration on the plans as to how the eyebolt works later on when stepping the mast. I'm actually going through my kit now just to make sure I have all inventory. It's looking good so far, luckily! Not starting this build for a while though. Steve

Beautifully done ship's boat! No shame in basswood. It is wood after all. Steve

Just went through your log. The ship is coming along nicely. I agree with you that the practicum has such a strange deck layout. Steve

Thank you everyone for such nice comments. I am very happy with the outcome. Hoping I can plank the pinnace just as well or better. After doing some experimentation with a manila folder, I decided on the dimensions of the case. It will be 10" x 6" at its base and 5" tall. This leaves 1" clearance around the base and 2" clearance around the boat. Steve

It's nice when you can just visit these places in person. I'm still trying to figure out how much buffer to leave on each dimension. I haven't found any standards on this online yet. Probably a personal preference. I think I need to do a mockup to see it in 3D. Don, thanks for the info. I will think on this. Steve
