Hi John- the planking is coming together! Here's a link on those minwax products. The pre-stain is to prep the wood before you stain for an even application of stain. The sanding sealer would be more appropriate to prep the wood for paint and not used before staining. Hope this helps. http://www.minwax.com/how-to-finish-wood/wood-preparation/ Steve

I would use a dot of wood glue at all the frames/bulkheads. Clip it at the bow with your binder clip- and hold and press the plank for a few minutes. Flip the boat over and clean any excess glue with a smIll brush and water before it dries. The wood glue should get dry quickly enough to hold. No expert by any means. Just my two cents. Steve

I really thought it would be smooth sailing from here until the rigging started. I was wrong. I sanded all of the laser cut knees. When I removed and dry fitted the knee that goes at the bow I discovered that the my cap rail shape (inboard) did not match shape of the knee that is supposed to go there. I spent some time scratch building this particular knee. Not successful yet. It will take a little time. Sorry no photos of the failure. Needed to post my frustration. Merry Christmas in the meantime! Next post after all is resolved and knees are painted and installed. Locker hinges should be complete by then also. Steve

I have no clue. I was just curious. Your rigging looks awesome to me. I'm not close to rigging anything yet. :-) Steve

I guess their cutting of pre spiled planks isn't great. If you're going to paint it then plug on. Wood filler and sanding should do the trick. You could always get some new strips and replank with your own shaping and bending of planks. That will be good practice and you may feel better after you've done a redo successfully. It's almost like redoing things is initiation into this hobby! Steve

Thanks everyone for your support. Haha- I know that riggging will pose a whole new set of challenges so I will not be finished soon. Also, I have intentions of displaying the Pinnace with this boat so I want to complete all aspects of this build except the rigging and come back to it when the Pinnace is complete. I'm going to have to decide if it will make sense to display these two together. Steve

Some more progress on the metal work. Lift rings and thwart accepting the mast installed. The locker lid is complete and the mast step is also installed. The locker hinges are next. I think she is getting there! Steve
