Siggi, I was smiling when I said what I said. I enjoy life, everyday God finds a way to put a smile on my face. -
I just went to the Midwest WS and they are "temporally out of stock" on everything. Doesn't look good. Nothing on their FB page This pretty penny...that's wack! https://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/mid/mid5240.htm

Siggi, I turn 75 next week. I KNOW it's not going to get better, at this point NOTHING gets better!

Beautiful progress, Siggi. Did you get a new worker? I don't remember seeing the lad with the striped leggings before but maybe that's my bad memory.

Gary, fantastic tutorial, beautiful work. I hope Midwest is able to continue to be the great supplier they were when I first ordered from them some five years ago.

Dave, welcome to MSW. I would love to see a photo of your Dos Amigos/Fair Rosamund.

Dion, welcome to MSW, glad to have you aboard.

I put a dab of CA gel on the end of the eyebolt shaft and insert and then wipe away any gel excess with a Q-Tip. After thirty seconds I put a dab of normal CA where the eyebolt and wood meet, wait a couple of seconds and wipe away any excess with a Q-Tip.

Evan, welcome to MSW. Enjoy your stay.

Brian, do you have a build log or will you be starting one?
-
Lynn, very good. Are you using the sanding sticks and how do you like them?
-
Brian, thank you for posting this photo of the Cairo . You've made the original slab sided turtle look beautiful.

Allan, even if the binnacle was open to the helmsmen he would have been hard pressed to be able read the compass. Reading from the forward side by the OD or watch would have been unobstructed and corrections if any could been easily relayed.

Valkyrja, welcome to MSW. Stow your gear below and enjoy your stay. -

It must be a girl phone.

Lynn, everything looks really good. Sometimes your photos take on a pink tint, why do you suppose that is? You're using a manila folder to make the waterway? I admire your ingenuity but wouldn't making it out of wood be easier? You could soak the wood and form it. Midwest provides small size strips of basswood that's just the ticket. I've bought from them several times and have always been pleased. https://midwestproducts.com

Brian, wonderful stuff and lots of it. You've been busy! I think my wife needs a Cricut. I'm almost certain it will be of benefit to her with her many projects.

Mary, welcome to MSW. First off, my condolences for the loss of you father. You womenfolk do every bit as well as us menfolk in this hobby as you gals come to the party naturally gifted. Please start a build log, I'd love to see your work.

Roger, thank you for providing the information particularly regarding the Boat Book. I'll be searching for a copy shortly. If the Lord grants me the time to finish the Tennessee I'd like to build a steam launch and what better than the one in the photo as it's a natural tie in. I A 40 footer wouldn't have fit in the Tennessee's davits. I spitballed the length and came up less than 30 feet. The plate/photo of the ship's boats is dated, April 11, 1885. The Tennessee was broken up at the end of 1886.
