I got the windlass done ,I started with a piece of 1"x5/8" teak I cut out a 1/2" x1/2 " x 2" piece then cut that in half and then cut those in half to give me 4 -1/4"x1/4 x2" pieces I then sanded and file one of those pieces to form the windlass . I then used a1/32 drill bit to drill through the square parts near the ends for the handles.to square up the holes I used the end of my tweezers that I modified a bit . For the handles I split another 1/4 " piece again down both sides to give me 1/8" pieces to play with with a bit of sanding and filing I got a decent shape . I used a couple pieces of 22 gauge wire inserted in wholes drilled into the end of the windlass to hold the unit to the boat . The wire slides into. Corresponding wholes that I drilled into the risers.

I got the planking done . And with the huge hurricane only days away I thinking I should have built a bigger boat 😳 . So I figured I'd sit outside and sand the hull down and start cleaning up the inside of the hull and the inside is going to take some work so I will sit out here and do it and enjoy the weather while I can lol here's a few pics of the inside (I haven't started on yet ) and the outside that I have started sanding on

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
