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

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

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

Looking good Ron. Believe it or not some of us our still learning. It still takes me a couple of tries to get it to the point that I like it. Keep up the good work. Will be watching your build. Gary- 122 replies

Thanks Edward. Gary

Well good folks I couldn't find a finish that Iiked so I used the one I put on Alfred. I have been using a mixture of bee wax and thinner, brings out the wood nicely and will add a nice golden color to the planking and not change the color of the wood. Once it's dry I take a rag and wipe it down, and use a bit of steel wool that will bring out a nice sheen to her. Gary

Glenn you are so right. It does take a lot of patience that's for sure. Once you have it finish it's nice to sat back and enjoy your work. Gary

Hi JJ and thank you. Hopfully I have that part figure out before to long. At least now the hard part is over and she is looking a bit more ship shape.
-
Thanks Chuck. Took me awhile but am happy with it. Hopfully I get it sanded down and put a finish on it once I make up my mind about it. Again thank you. Gary

Mike I would add another item to Greg accessories which will be a good one and that's the Sensitive Drilling Attachment. Great when you drilling a lot of holes using very small drill bit's. They really do make a lot of good accessories thats for sure. Gary

Well good folks after a few health problems with me and the misses the hull is finally fully planked. Now it just needs a good sanding and a nice finish and hope all the work pay's off.
