Thanks Chuck. I modeled the belaying pins after my current body shape short and fat. I sanded the fat out of them and they look much better, sorta like my younger self. Question would there be any cleats on a Longboat for securing mooring lines or flags on the mast?

Catching up. Everyone is building the same boat soooooo I decided to go a road less traveled. Made a few changes like the color. I originally installed the large floor boards but decided to remove them and cut them into strips. Now to look up Chuck’s instructions for making a Flag. Going French. Maybe some armament.

Gorilla glue has a CA with a brush applicator. (Yellow Cap) Easy to control placement.

I use some mini chisels. That sort of looks like a Micro Mark XY Table.

Rusty awesome work. What part of the instructions has the floor board installation?

With the placement of the notch above the damage that would be a natural place for the bulkhead to shear off when removed from sheet. Not a mistake in lazing a mistake in design.

I’m fine with the tan and Brown, love both.

I’ll stick with the venerable old Syren Rope. Just the thought of the rope unraveling after ten minutes of trying to place through a block and then clipping is enough to stop me. It is pretty but to many things can go wrong. And if the economy drives the price up so be it. My 2 cents.

I plan on painting my version, the Admiral said the same thing, why go through all that just to paint over them . I think the nail will still show , we shall see.

So are you going to adjust those two bulkheads to the drawing?

I had lots of trouble finding the Black 10lb Sunset Amnesia Monofilament Chuck uses at any place that caters to fishing so I went to EBay. Found it at a place in England for $17 and now have enough to last two life times. If you need some drop me a PM and I’ll send you some.

I use the ten lb Monofilament Chuck sent in the kit. Had to buy a new roll because I did not have enough.

I have been Trenailing the planks as I go along. I find it much easier when I can look at the frame than looking through the plank at the frame later on. Looks great Ken.
