    Thank you Captain Hook. Yes, Byrnes work with UPS. But I must admit that the shipping costs are extremely expensive... Fortunately the VAT taxes in Switzerland (only 6.5%) are very low compared to those in Europe.

    As I received my new toy: a table saw from the Byrnes brand, I was finally able to start working on my base. At first, I wanted to buy a Proxxon table saw for Christmas, but finally I decided to wait a little longer to allow me to buy the reference of the table saws : a Byrnes and I do not regret my purchase. Donna and Jim are really charming and very professional. The order tracking is perfect: in less than a week the saw had arrived in Switzerland. In fact it took longer for delivery in Switzerland (less than 200 km) than for that from Florida to Switzerland ! The pear wood was purchased from Bibigon in Russia. A very good address with quality service. Then it's just a matter of patience ...

    Superb Job, Ryland ! I really like the jig to drill the holes for the thole pins. The distance between them is thus perfectly regular. Brilliant idea !

    A small step forward. I set up the fixed block at the stem. What I really like about this project is that each step represents a mini-project in itself. I used a small strip of wood of the right width to be sure to stick the 2 elements at the right distance and well parallel. The bolts are simulated and the block is put in place. One last note: with this project, you don't have to worry too much, because Chuck was generous in the elements provided. Any part which represents a certain difficulty is supplied in several copies. In case.

    Thank you all for your kind words and thank you to all the likes. It is greatly appreciated. Bob, I'm just trying to do my best. Luckily I am fortunate to have some great examples on this forum. Your longboat is a little wonder and will be an example to follow when I start working on the rigging. Just follow my best. Glenn, the building board is supplied with the kit and is also essential when setting up the frames. I just stick it on a piece of chipboard to make sure it doesn't warp and make it more convenient to handle. And yes, I confirm your feelings, this project is really enriching and very fun. I can only advise him.

    Nice work ! Do not rush, take your time and carefully execute each step are really the golden rules and we can see the results here. Superb!

    Thank you to all the 'Likes' I added the moldings. After temporarily sticking the boxwood strip on a hardwood square using double-sided scotch, I formed the molder by running the scraper many times over the boxwood strip until I was satisfied with the result. Following precisely the instructions, I then carried out the mast thwart. Finally all the elements were put in place. As my base of blue oil paint is now perfectly dry, I will be able to work on the frieze. A lot of free-hand work ...
