If any one is interested I have a extra book of David Steel plates 1805 from Sim's Comfort that I would part with if any one is interest if they want it. The cost would be Vol 2 of the Naiad Frigate (38) 1797 Volume II by Edward Tosti with CD. I purchase a new set from Sim's after the fire took vol one and don't need two of the same book. Seems that Sea Watch book isn't going to reprint Vol 2 so I would be more then happy to trade vol 2 of David Steel's book of print's if some one is willing to trade Naiad vol 2 for it. If interested let me know. Gary -
Chuck is it to late to purchased the first Two chapters? Let me know would you please. Thank you. Gary

Sorry to hear about your flood Alan. Seems a lot of us these days are under assault from Mother Nature along with fires started by electrical short's. The good news at least for me is I will soon have a new house. Alan hope things get better for you and the other good members in the future. Gary

Hi Kevin. You could look into getting a set from Artesania Latina and on there site they call them Micro Shapers and comes in 3 sets, A,B,C. I have all three and get good result's when using them. At least look in to them and may save you from pulling out your hair. Good luck Gary

Hi Mark. Every one is fine and the dog's to. You are so right about this and it will take some time for the repairs. Getting the paper work done is a whole different ball game. Trying to list every thing that you have in your home is very time consuming, but having photo's of the den and the rest of the personal items does help. Never knew I had so much stuff. Thank you again. Gary

Thank's VTHokiEE, that is the exact one am looking for, thanks again.

Thanks Toni. They have us in a condo at the moment and has a little semblance of normal but nothing like home that's for sure.

Thanks Alan. One of the best things to do other then photos of every thing is make sure you have enough insurance to recoup every thing you have. The best thing is 95 percent of the books was in the work shop addition. Of course I miss the 5 percent that was in the den. 😭Gary

Hi Allan and thank you. Do believe it was after the big crash. Only thing I can remember is that it was posted to give folk's a ideal of what books one may see what is out there. Some of my most important books were in the den so am trying to find them so I can claim them on the insurance. I do think I have enough info from photo's of the book's in the den but having that list just help me. Thanks again Allan. Gary

Hi druxey and thank you. At the moment it's some where on the form but other then that, no ideal. Am hoping that some one will come across it and let me know were to find it. Thank you again and have my finger's crossed. Gary

Hi every one and hope every one is doing fine. Been having a bit of bad luck going on with the house, had a little fire about a month ago and working on getting the house a make over in the up and coming month's. Hopefully we will get to move back in, in about 6 month's or so. Seems like a long time but keeping busy so the time doesn't drag on. Hoping the good crew can help me out. I posted a list of my books but I can't seem to find it and hoping some one will have come across it. Need to turn a couple of my book's in but thankfully the biggest part of the libaray is in the addition in the work shop. Thank you and will be back before you know it. Gary

Hi Mike. In some ways I do believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel, but at the moment it's a very very small dot on the wall. Ok back to work and thanks for the kind word's. Gary

Thanks Hubac's she is slowly coming along and am happy to be back to work on her again. One of the most time consuming items is the cast knee's. Seems it takes me forever to get each one done but after installing them they look neat and ship shape. Thanks again Hubac's. Gary

Hi Gabe and thank you good sir. How is you work coming along? Your painting is just out standing and has been awhile since we last talk. Hope every thing is going good. Gary
-
Thank's Mike. Maybe one day I just might be able to say she's finished.

Thanks Albert. We do have a long way to go to catch up to you but thank you for the kind remark's. Gary

Hi Frolick. Thanks for the information on the Montague, didn't know this. Thank you for the kind words and glad that you like her.
-
Hi Tobias and thank you for the compliments. Yes I drafted the plans of her, the half breadth plan and then her frames from that. I also drafted the lay out of her deck lines from the shear plans. One does have to be very careful because after many years the plans have enlarge, grown and redrafting this parts, help's straighten this out. Makes her easier to build. I do thank you for your kind words.

Thanks guys. Guy your right about that, have been busy that's for sure. Thanks druxey, thought that might add a little detail to her. If you look close at the top of the capstan. I installed some pin's and chain's for holding the bar's in place. Still a lot to do on her, just need to spend a lot more time on her. Once I get the beams installed I may just have some fun and install the stove that I built a couple of years ago.

Hello every one. It's been awhile since I posted any thing on Montague/Alfred but wanted to get the the planking done on the Winchelsea and after 6 month's or so of building the bulkhead's and planking her in boxwood I finally went back to work on Montague/Alfred. Been slowly working on adding more beams to the upper deck. I added a few photo's of the Winchelasea and do hope you enjoy the photo's. Sorry about the delay on getting back to her. Gary

Hi Johann. Looking outstanding as usually. Have a question for you. You showed in post 2079 your soldering station and was wondering where you got the to tall clamp looking items in the white board for soldering. I have been looking for a set of these but as of yet have not found them. Keep up the great work and thank you. Gary

Thanks Mike.

Nice job Mike. Will be a big help to other's when it comes to building her. Have a question about you square's and was wondering where you got them? They seem to be quite thick which to me would make them very stable when used. Thank you and keep up the good work. Gary

Hi Stevinne. It really depends on what scale you working on. Am sure if you give that bit of infomation a few of us could let you know what size you may need. Gary
