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.

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 ...

The initial etched deck was already beautiful but your deck planking is much more beautiful. The time and work invested is well worth it !

Wonderful job ! Having read the log again, I was wondering about the species of wood used for the deck planking: I suppose pear but for the lighter wood ? Mapple ? Are the moldings done manually using the scrapper technique or were they made using the mill ? The model is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing your great work.
